[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall we have loved having this generator around. We did test it out with a few power tools and it works great. We have it ready to go for the rest of hurricane season. Right now we have used it for minor stuff just to test it out and so far it seems to hold up great. It is not overly loud for a generator. I will say it is really heavy and I am glad it has the handle to push/pull it. I am even more glad its handle can be moved in different positions.

I looked at many different generator brands online, and I kept returning to the Generac. I liked the idea that they build their own engines for their generators as well as the fact that Generac is a proven name. Plus, the price was comparable with other generators in this capacity range. Setup was simple, and the generator started almost as soon as I hit the switch. The electric start with included battery was also a big plus.

Hurricane Isaias blew into town and took out hundreds of thousands of homes power. Luckily, I was able to find a strong generator at a great price. I took it home, assembled it very easily and quick, gassed it up and put it into service within an hour. Good thing too, power was out for 4 days and I didn't loose anything in my Refrigerator, or sleep.

This looks like a good unit. Easy to assemble and started up with no problems but ran very rough and stalled. Needed to call for service to come tune it up. Im sure its something minor like bad gaps in the plugs or something like that but a brand new unit should run for a few years before giving you problems. Don't know what this means for long term reliability.

Had to replace my old generator (That was not a generac) that had for the last 15 years. Bought this from a local vendor. The unit started right up. I already have a generac home standby but It really uses the propane to run all night. I use this to just run fridge and furnace at night. The home standby was the best purchase ever. Soon as the power goes out the standby will start right up. I have the 6500 run just a few circuits when don't want the standby running. The 6500 has electric start which is nice. I was without power when 1st bought and it ran for 16 hours straight. No problems. I would recommend the generac name to anyone. After bought my home standby my inlaws bought one and love it. Highly recommend the portable 6500E.

[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.

I needed something in a hurry. Looking for a Japanese product. My friend owns two ACE hardware stores. They only carried Generac. Made in America. Shucks! He told me Generac made top quality stuff. I bought mine in a jam. Delighted. This baby longs to start up! Dying to start up! on the first pull. Reliable, noisy as all get out-no problem. I surround it with some boards-it produces tons of power. Runs forever. I will buy another one. You will love yours .

After 3 years of ownership with w1 hr/year running, had to run generator for 4 days continuously with time-outs for refueling and oil-checking. Clean gas, fresh oil 2 days prior to weather event and when needed, the generator started immediately, took the load with no surging. Minor light flickering of LED lights when dimmed, but voltage was spot-on and consistent. Heavy motor starting loads did not change generator output or tone and fuel useage to run 4 bedroom house with well, furnace, lighting, entertainment, refrigerator, dish-washer and on occasion electric oven was about 5 gallons per 24 hour day. Generator is well designed and apparently bullet proof.

Purchased for hurricane back up power for my all-electric home. Works very well but just falls short of being able to operate all the house loads. Having said that it still covers the important items (a/c, lights, tv, fans, etc.) but adding the water heater and stove pushes the 50-amp capacity. Neighbors are looking at upgrading their units.

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.
