This was a warranty replacement for my 3300. I removed and applied thread lock compound to all the fasteners because of the previous generator failure. This new one works as it should. I don't like the handle because it collapses when trying to push generator backwards.

We bought this two months ago and while not having to use it yet, in preparation for the NE winter that’ll be here before we know it, did gas it up and test started it twice since. It was very easy to fill up and run through the steps with no problems. Both times it started immediately. Knowing we have a reliable portable generator will ease our worries significantly!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is honestly the best generator out there. It has all the essential features that a generator need, i live in the south so losing electric during the hurricane seasons is nothing new. The size is decent for an essential generator, not to mention its outstanding performance that help my refrigerator, can charge my electric car, microwave during the time of losing power. The design feature is phenomenal for its safety features. I highly recommend getting one.

I bought the GP8000E to replace my Honda 7000 that was over 25 years old. The setup was relatively straight forward except for attaching the battery cables. When I unclipped the zip tie holding the battery leads for shipping, I didnt notice that the power connector for the starter had become disconnected, probably when I cut the zip tie. I called Generac Support as the electric start was not working and they had me check all the connections including the power connector for the starter. I connected it and the generator started right up. I've only had it for a month but I love it as its easy to operate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Down here in southeast Louisiana, you learn real quick that having a generator isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. I picked up the Generac GP5500E mainly for hurricane season, and let me tell you, it has already earned its keep. The electric start is a lifesaver when the power’s out and it’s hot, humid, and you’re trying to get things running fast. It fired right up with no fuss. It’s got plenty of power for what we need: fridge, freezer, a few fans, lights, Wi-Fi, and even the window A/C. During an outage, we barely noticed any strain on it. It’s not whisper-quiet, but honestly it’s about what you’d expect from a generator this size — steady and reliable. Fuel efficiency is solid too. I ran it overnight during a storm-related outage, and it sipped gas slower than I thought it would. Maintenance is also pretty simple, and the wheel kit makes it a whole lot easier to move around the yard. If you live anywhere that the weather can flip your power off anytime, the GP5500E is a great peace-of-mind purchase. Dependable, strong, and easy to use — exactly what you want when the lights go out.

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the Generac Dual Fuel Generator. I gave it a try on my farm and it effortlessly powered anything I asked of it. Skill saws, lights, anything! It was easy to assemble. Propane took a minute to get started but gasoline fuel fired right up. The only reason I knock of one star is the difficulty we had starting it initially. Noise level is adequate for it's size. I couldn't imagine the farm without it. It also provides me comfort to know it's ready when needed for one of our many power outages!

Purchased to replace a 12 year old Generac 6500 that I use for emergency power. As I live along the Gulf Coast it doesn’t take a hurricane for us to loose power. Ran 8 days on generator power Zeta and the ol’ Generac didn’t miss a beat. After quick final assembly, oil and fuel this new unit fired up on the second pull. Looking forward to not having to concern myself about power loss for another 13 years!

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is more bang for its buck than I expected. A little pricey and definitely on the heavier side, that can be overlooked since It’s easy to set up, great for portable job work, and an awesome machine to power your appliances if there’s ever a power outage.
