Very powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thankful for my generator from Generac. Now we will always have lights and other things when power goes out, Which is nice where we live in the country and they do not get our power on quickly. I really like it has a CO detector and will cut itself off if any is detected. Now my food will not ruin if power is off. This has a long run time, large gas tank and very powerful. Was very easy to setup. My husband even uses this on our property to power his tools when needed. This will also be great to have for camping. Many uses and also shows you hours used so you know when to perform routine maintenance. Top of the line generator in our opinion.

Great generator for the value

We just purchased the GP7500E. Assembly took about twenty minutes and was simple. After adding the oil and gas, I pressed the start button and it was running in seconds. I have only ran it for about ten minutes so far. It is a little louder than I expected but nothing I can't deal with. It is piece of mind to know if the electricity goes out our essentials are covered.

Don't they test these things before shipping them?

The generator arrived pretty quick after ordered. I followed the instructions of getting it set up (adding oil, gas, hooking up battery, etc). The generator would not start with the electric start button. I verified the battery was fully charged. It would start manually with the pull cord. I contacted Generac and the closest service facility was 45 minutes away. I dropped it off the day before New Years. I did not receive it back until January 30th. Part of the issue was they could not get the control panel off without damaging the decal that labelled the switches and outlets as it covered the screws. They had to replace the solenoid and repair a wire. They made that repair relatively quick and offered to give it back with the damaged decal. I told them that after spending $1100 for it I would prefer to not have to look at a damaged decal every time I have to use it. The service facility was nice enough to deal with, but they kept the generator outside for awhile. When I got it back it was filthy. In closing, my experience could have been better. But the unit works fine. This could all have been avoided if it was tested before shipping. I also want to note that I bought this because it was made in the US.

Worry free, two pulls and its on, plenty of power for all my needs

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.

The generator performed great during Hurricane Sandy

I purchased this generator after the issues with Hurricane Irene. When this storm hit and we lost power, I simply brought out the generator, hit the switch and forgot about it. It performed great. I ran my boiler, refrigerator and a TV. I have and will continue to highly recommend this product.

Great performance, easy to use

Bought GP15000E after extensive research. Because of demand, it took almost four weeks to receive it and Generac transfer switch. Worth the wait. Both were reasonably easy to set up. I store the generator inside garage, but suggestions for shelter when it is being used outside would be appreciated. There are some slight differences in operating instructions between the generator and transfer switch manuals.

Excellent value.

I bought this generator for back up power for my farm house a few days before Hurricane Florence. It was easy to set up, easy to start and provided all the power I needed to keep lights on and water for my horses. A great investment. I highly recommend this generator.

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.

GP7500E So Far So Good

Nice unit easy to set up fired right up gave it a quick check up and so far so good. I Purchased this unit as a precaution mainly to have the ability to keep the essentials functional during prolonged outages (our area is prone). At this point I am waiting for my electrician to obtain the necessary parts to complete a proper safe and legal hook up. I hope to say farewell to frozen pipes,stubbed toes,and spoiled food.
