Needed for immediate concerns that we may need it

Having no backup plan for heat and concerns we may lose electricity with forecasted temperatures at -33°. I wanted piece of mind knowing it would sufficiently power our furnace and any other things we need. Started right up on first pull, battery wasn't charged straight out of box when I did initial start, but works now that it has been charged. Great product.

Was able to get an outstanding deal on a slightly used, 0.4 hrs., 15000e.

I wired the generator up to the house and tested it out. Ran everything including a 3.5 ton AC. Now ready for the inevitable South Florida Hurricanes. Unit started right up after I replaced a 4 year old battery that was completely dead. One of my best purchases.

Great Gen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was very simple to put together and it fired up on the first pull. We use this for our camper should we go out in the woods without hook ups. Like I stated it fires right up and works AWESOME. My brother is looking for one and I have suggested this to him.

Delivers as you would expect it to

Bought this generator during a storm where half our province was out of power for over a week. I utilize it as a whole home backup generator, it has enough power to run my well pump and sump pump as well as heating my water when I need it to. it starts right up without hesitation and runs smoothly. The frame and wheels are very rugged to carry it around since it is on the heavy side. the only down fall that I found with it was that it is quite noisy so I will be building an insulated cover for it. Extremely satisfied, never looked back.

This Product has Great Features

I have owned a 5000 watt Generac generator for almost twenty years and it has never let me down. It has a rope start on it and my wife and I both are now in our seventies and have difficulty pulling the rope to start it. I felt it was time to get a another generator with electric start. I purchased the Generac 7500E and it starts beautifully. This product has some great features. I like the low noise level, the ease of operation and the features like the hour meter, the built in gas gauge, battery charger and outlet covers. I use it for home back up. I know that I will be protected in an emergency. Great Product!! Roger 73

Just what I was looking for

I was looking for a dependable generator for home back up for basics, fridge/freezer a few lights and possibly my TV. I was also looking for ease of start up. I am a woman and this generator is perfect. Easy to start and maintain. Everything I was looking for.

175 HRs , Running strong

Excellent reliability, use on job, always starting and stopping the generator.. Even dropped off of the side of a roof, and it landed up side down , still started first pull after this incident...I have replaced the pull cord once during my two years of ownership

AWESOME Machine

I purchased this unit because I have lost power at my house a few times and got tired of having no electricity. I did months of research and comparisons between Generac and other various brands. I spend countless hours watching Youtube videos on generators (especially Generac) and finally came to the conclusion that the GP7500e was the perfect fit for me. What I like is that I can power up to 10 different breakers in my house while this unit is running. Frig,boiler,all lights, microwave,tv,internet router and computers. So, I have options for when the street is without power. This product is made here in America and I know they're made with readily available parts so I don't have any worries that this unit will last me years and years. I love this thing more than I can say. Can't wait for the next blackout. Thank You Generac for making such a great product and one that is affordable as well.

Great machine for the money

I purchased this machine to replace an older smaller unit. The sale price made it very attractive, so I purchased. The unit works well, starts quickly and puts out enough power for most rural homes. I live in an area where the power goes out 3 to 4 times a year for more than 4 hours so a back up is very necessary. This unit will run a deep well pump, furnace, freezer and refrigerator at the same time with power to spare for lights and some electronics. I also like the gas shut off valve that came on the machine. I shut off the gas then let it run out to clean out the carburetor. This keeps the carb clean and working as today's gas is so poor and eats any rubber parts and seals in the carb. The built in handle and wheels make this no harder to move than my older smaller unit.

Nice generator but....

Overall appearance and ease of setup is good but the installation of the wheels was not without some aggravation. In installing the wheel on the right side (next to the grounding stud/wire) I had to remove the generator rubber mount nuts on the rear mounting studs and lift the back end of the generator motor assembly off the crossbar in order to get the axle pin through the wheel mount. The grounding stud is too close to the rubber mount and I could not get the axle pin past the rubber mount without lifting it out of the way. I feel this is poor design but all in all, it was remedied within 10 minutes and the wheel was installed. The grounding stud and wire should have been placed further away from the wheel mount in order to avoid this problem. I have not fired up the generator yet but I have readied it in case of power outage. Build quality and appearance is very good. I have read other reviews on this unit and the only item not liked is the CO sensor feature in that if the unit is not placed correctly outside where the wind can blow CO2 emissions back at the unit, it continually shuts it down. I will test my unit today and see if it is a problem. Generac builds quality generators and I recommend them.
