I recently purchased two GP8000E CO2 sensing Generac, one for my house and one for my Mom. Easy to put together, start, and store! They start right up and are surprisingly fuel efficient. My Mom is 71 and has no trouble starting and operating the generator! We have used it several times since June and have been very pleased!

This seems to be a good generator is provided backup power for me for 4 days straight. The only thing I wish the generator had was a percentage used of power as other generators offer that feature. The only feature offered on this is the hour meter which is very good for maintenance

I owned a Generac 5500 for 15 years so I decided to buy a new, larger one. Great product Except for the Electrical Cord that was included in the carton. It is a cord for contractors to use on a job site. If it were used as a cord for home use, one would have to snake it through the door and attach 3 additional cords to it to operate 3 devices. MY HOME is wired to accept my Generac through my main service panel. Now I have no acceptable cord.

Bought this generator to run my equipment at stock shows. It'll run four 8 amp fans, and two 20 amp blowers at the same time. Has no difficulty starting all the fans at the same time, or the blowers. We put 35 hours running straight on it this weekend, and it didn't skip a beat in the Texas heat. I was worried that it would run out of fuel overnight and the cattle would get hot due to the fans quitting...I topped off the fuel tank at 9 PM, and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at 9:30 the following morning with it still running, with a half gallon or so to spare. Just make sure you keep the oil fresh and this generator will provide for you! Only complaint is that it is a bit on the loud side...but we just stick it on the other side of the trailer and it is muffled enough then. It does weigh about 200 pounds BEFORE a full gas tank...so have a buddy around when you're going to lift this one!

I have given this generator a 5 star rating based on my experience with it so far, and so far I haven't needed to use it for the reason it was purchased; to supply emergency power during electrical outages. That having been said, I am impressed with what I have seen so far. The unit arrived in perfect condition, and assembly was easy. I was concerned by the advertised weight at first, but the carton was easily handled by two people, and after assembly, it is easy to move from storage to the driveway where it will be used. The battery was charged when it arrived, and it started right up and ran steadily for about 15 minutes. I had minor difficulty adding the engine oil, in that I had to hunt around for a long necked funnel to use to pour the oil into the unit, no big deal. And, the instructions indicate that you should check the oil level as oil is being added, so as not to overfill the unit. I did this, only to read later that the recommended oil capacity is 1 quart, and exactly one quart of oil was supplied. It would have saved me a few minutes if the instructions said "Pour the 1 quart of enclosed oil into the oil fill plug". Also, no big deal. Finally, it would be nice to have a compartment or something on the unit to hold the battery charger. I solved that problem with a bag attached to the frame with zip ties. If this is all I can find to complain about, I would say that I'm pretty satisfied. I trust that this unit will perform as well when the need arises as it has so far.

I had previously owned a Generac 6500 and needed another unit due to the worst ice storm to hit in decades. I found a unit 3 hours away. It was worth the trip. I cut open the box, added the oil, handle and wheels. Put gas in the tank, and it fired up on the first pull. Quality I knew I could trust. It was worth the trip to bypass the lesser known brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. Took it on our latest camping trip it ran our site and our neighbors site with power to boot. Quieter than I expected! I liked the idea of never flat wheels but they seemed a little bent. Handy fold up handle that was well balanced and easy to maneuver was a bonus.

as an electrician and construction engineer I recommend this unit. gp7500e. after an extensive search by retailers and the internet this is the best unit. solid welded steel construction,outdoor protected receptacles,easy to read labeling,and directions. shipped on heavy duty pallet and boxing.controls easy to use,gas on off, start stop switch,hour meter,choke,filter access,circuit breakers resets,battery solidly bolted in place. starts every time.

I use this generator for home power during storms, I also use it in the garage for powering up my air comp. or any Electrical tool. This generator has an Elec. Start because I am a disabled Vet. So far I have not had any problems but it was a little hard to assy. it.

My wife and I purchased the GP7500E this year for use in emergency power situations after a great deal of research. We moved into a hurricane prone area af ew years ago, and were without power for several days after Irene with a one year old in the house. Since we're on well water, it was a miserable few days! Never again... The GP7500E was easy to setup for the first time, except for one small thing. Strangely, the manual called for 1L of oil, and provided a single bottle, but I found that it required close to 1.5 L in order to fill the engine crankcase appropriately. In any case, I was amazed how quickly the generator started at the push of a button. It runs like a top! Now my family is better prepared for the next ice storm or hurricane thanks to Generac.
