[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned two Generac generators in the past (traded up) and always been pleased with their performance. Lately it's been harder to pull a generator for me, so when I found one with a push start I jumped at the chance. You're going to need some help with this as it is quite heavy but assembly was easy and after that I could pull it on my own. We typically run our sump pump and freezers when the power goes out and run a cord upstairs to plug in the fridge and charge our phones/electronics. I tested it out and it had no problem with that load. I'd compare the sound to that of a lawn mower, loud, but if you're inside it's not going to bother you. The start is a breeze, I can't believe all the pulling I used to do. I feel a lot better knowing that if the power does go out for an extended period of time, especially with winter coming up, we'll have everything we need to keep us safe and warm.

I have two generators, one I bought at a department store and used it for work and at home. Now I own a Generac GP7500E Generator. No comparison to the one I bought first, The Generac is much quieter, battery start with pull cord backup, more outlets and 30 amps. What more can you ask for except a whole house generator and Generac even makes them too.

A portable yet powerful generator that is well suited for home backup power needs. Wheels and collapsable handle make it easy to manuver. Electric start makes it a snap to fire up. Enough output to protect freezers and fridgerators. 240VAC has enough output to power a well pump.

We purchased this unit as a whole house generator for those extended outage periods, usually 1-2 per year. Since we do not use gas (propane or LNG), we did not want to install a standby unit on a concrete pad and find a place to hide a couple large tanks. At about half the price including a transfer switch, this unit will power our entire house and we can still store it in the garage or bring it to a family members house in emergency. Keeping 15-20 gallons of extra fuel on hand if stations are out might be a challenge, but for the rare occasions that happens, we'll manage just fine.

After returning the original purchase due to a defect, the replacement generator went together quickly and easily. I was concerned about previous reviews that talked about difficulty putting oil in and putting the wheels on, but I had no problems. You do need a funnel to add oil, but a funnel with a long neck worked fine. After the unit was assembled, I put some fuel in it and it fired right up. I also put a small load on it to ensure it was actually working. All in all, I'm happy and confident this unit will perform as expected when it is needed.

I bought this generator because of the Oct storm. We were out for four days (not again if I can help it). I had a transfer switch installed. I have two heaters (gas), refrigerator. hot water heater (gas) kitchen lights, dinette lights, bathroom lights, hallway lights and family room outlets hooked up to the transfer switch. No problem with all of it on at the same time. I run a line to the garage refrigerator. In the evening, I ran a line from my washer/dryer to the family room outlets. Again there was no problem. The generator is outside. I closed the garage door and the door to my house (there is no discernible noise from the generator) and after a while I forget I'm on generator power. It takes forever for this generator to run out of gasoline. I rated it five stars because (so far) there is nothing this generator has a problem carrying.

Bottom of box and pallet was taped to pallet. I signed off, delivery driver drove off. 3 hours later, at 6:30 pm I took off the tape to see that somewhere in the process the tape was used to cover up a number of big holes and the powder coated frame was scraped up in 5 places. The battery tray flange was bent. Forklift damage I assume. I'm asking retailer to contact Generac and get me touch up paint to avoid rust... and a return.... I'm in the process of breaking it in. Lets see how Generac handles this, and I'll report back. Somebody tried to cover up a mistake, and it does not reflect well on the brand.

I had been shopping for a generator for 6 months, could not take the buying step. My wife consulted my nephew who said generac was best. Christmas a.m. was I surprised. Took 20 minutes to assemble, fill the oil sump, hit start and it ran like a top. What a relief to have back-up power if needed. excellent warranty, easy to move, happy with my Christmas gift.

I bought a GP8000e 3 years ago but didn't need to use it until now. I turned this generator on Wednesday night after hurricane Ian had passed. It's been running for 5 days straight. I do change the oil every day, not sure if that's necessary. It's been running the lights, two air conditioners, tv, refrigerator… I've even used the washing machine.

I have this generator going on 3 yrs. I live in an HOA community that would not allow in ground or above ground tanks. This was my solution i have used it once and it runs my entire home..( yes that included my A/C) I told a friend about this and he bought one for is home. I highly recommend
