A portable generator that is a must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generac is one of the best brands of generators in the market! The GP4000 Dual Fuel 49 ST is a great choice for a portable generator. On our last storm our power went out and the GP4000 was able to handle the power to my refrigerator. I also was able to keep my families phones charged. With this generator you have two fuel options, gas or propane. Which is perfect for on the go! I used gas to run it and it was super easy to fill! I am beyond pleased with this generator!

Lower noise level than other generator and simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to assemble and to wheel around. Weighted over 200 lbs so it was a challenge to move the whole box. Works great and low noise. Full tank can go about 10 hrs of run time and I'm happy with that. Easy plug in and use.

Reliable and easy to setup!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Generac GP5500 Single-Fuel (50-State) from Influenster and Generac in exchange for an honest review, and after using it during a recent outage and for a few home projects, I'm genuinely impressed with its performance. The GP5500 has power to spare. It ran all of my essential home items—refrigerator, freezer, Wi-Fi, several lights, and even the microwave—without any strain or noticeable fluctuations. I've also used it to power a couple of heavier tools for outdoor projects, and it handled everything smoothly. Starting it is surprisingly effortless. The recoil start consistently comes to life on the first or second pull as long as the basics (fresh fuel, clean oil) are in order. It's refreshingly straightforward for a generator of this size. In terms of noise, it's about what you'd expect from an open-frame unit—comparable to a lawnmower at a reasonable distance. Audible, yes, but not disruptive or harsh. The fuel efficiency is another standout. One full tank carried me comfortably through an evening and overnight stretch, which was especially appreciated during the outage. If I had to point out a downside, it would be the weight. Even with the wheel kit, maneuvering it across uneven ground takes a bit of strength. Once it's in place, though, it's rock-solid. Overall, the Generac GP5500 is a reliable, well-designed generator that delivers exactly what you need during an outage or for demanding projects. It's straightforward, dependable, and built to last—qualities that matter most when you're relying on backup power.

Easy to Start. Easy to Use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box assembly was fairly easy. I am not crazy about the design and setup of the handle. It's awkward and flimsy. However the frame is sturdy and durable. The two wheels make it very mobile. The controls are clearly labeled and makes it simple to use. It is easy to start using gasoline or propane. Runtime on one tank is about 8 to 10 hours. I've used it on the job site without issues. I am able to power a compound miter saw, table saw, floodlighting, and air compressor easily. Its rather compact size is good for hauling it from job site to job site. It fits into the back of a truck quite well. I also like the fact that it can operate on gasoline or propane.

5000 starting watts, 4000 running watts. Dual fuel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The durability of this power systems GP4000 dual fuel 49 ST is amazing! Having dual fuel gives it versatility. Performance is great. When we lost power it gave us comfort allowing us to run our portable AC and keep our refrigerator running. This generator has brought great value to our house. A additional benefit is it's on wheels so we can easily set it up. Generac is a very durable generator. I was given this generator to test and write my review. I highly recommended this generator because it's very easy to set up and its dual fuel makes it easy. Because of this generator and its awesome performance we were comfortable in this Texas heat and we don't lose our food .

Worth the Money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are absolutely in love with this generator. Be warned, that it does weigh 120 pounds, so you'll need to be able to grab it inside and have to move it around to attach the wheels and handle. This is unique because it allows for two different power sources - gasoline or propane. Once the wheels and handle are attached, is is very easy to move around. Fairly compact for the amount it can power our house, so that is a huge perk! Only suggestion, would be to add a clip for the hose. Again, small suggestion. Great brand and great product!

Big and durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been very cold in Wisconsin so I did not have the time to assemble the generator onto its wheels, but I will get to that soon and update my review if needed! This is a very sturdy, powerful and durable piece of machinery. I'm happy to have this for peace of mind if we were to need to use a generator!

Awesome well built generator!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an awesome generator!! Just the quality of it is immensely high quality. It is definitely heavy, it did take 3 people to get it up stairs. However, once the handle and wheels are installed it's much easier to handle and move. The controls are nice and not too complex once you read the instructions. Its fantastic for camping!

Perfect Camping Companion!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator has been an absolute game-changer for my camping trips. It's made cooking and lighting up my campsite so much easier and more enjoyable. Whether I'm running a small cooktop, powering up lights, or charging gear, it handles everything smoothly without missing a beat. What I really love is that it's propane-powered — no need to lug around extra gas cans or deal with messy refueling. That alone makes it so much more convenient and travel-friendly. The setup is super simple, and it runs quietly compared to most generators I've used. It's lightweight, efficient, and perfect for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. For the price, this generator is absolutely worth it. It's reliable, comfortable to use, and ideal for an outdoorsy person like me who values both convenience and performance.

Dual-fuel, easy start, and reliably powers essent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator has been a great backup for storms. I love that it runs on propane or regular gasoline.Having both options makes it so much easier when stores are crowded or one fuel is hard to find. It starts up quickly and is simple to use, even for someone who isn't super technical. When our power went out last week, it kept the essentials running: fridge, lights, Wi-Fi/router, and a couple of other small items we needed. No hiccups, no fuss. Switching between fuels is straightforward, and it's been very reliable every time we've tested it. If you're looking for peace of mind during outages, this has been a solid, no-drama solution for our home
