Great Generator
By Suzanne B. 
Wyncote, Pennsylvania
Purchased 07/20/2020 | 
Review Posted 08/14/2020 
I highly recommend the Generac generator. It's extremely well-designed. It was easy to set up and is easy to start. it works well with the compatible subpanel. It runs most of my home when storms knock out the power. I'm so glad I purchased it at the recommendation of our electrician. It's such a relief to be able to maintain my house at a comfortable temperature summer or winter with the Generac.

This Generator Sucks. If You Have To Work On It You Have To Rip
By Charles W 
gERMANSVILLE, Pennsylvania
Review Posted 05/17/2020 
Bad product if u have to get at battery u have to rip the whole generator apart even if u want to work on anything else u have to rip the whole generator apart. I had a kidney transplant 5 years ago for backup power if my power ever goes out so i have no time to sent generator out for repairs.

For more reliable power backup, you may want to consider a home standby generator. It will come on automatically and the maintenance intervals are much longer compared to a portable generators.

By Tim C.

Purchased 09/21/2018 | 
Review Posted 09/23/2019 
Best generator out there. Some of the reviews on this is a couple people crying on hard hard it was to hook up the battery “ It was easy” this thing was ready to go! Well worth the money ran like a Cadillac. I also bought the tent. The best I ever seen out there buy it. This generator gets 5 stars this is the one you want I’ve been working with generators for years this is the one!

By Brian F. 
Long Valley, New Jersey
Purchased 08/11/2019 | 
Review Posted 09/02/2019 
Great generator, portable is a relative term while it does have wheels it is slightly unbalanced and awkward to move around. Wish this model had load control, would be nice to be able to throttle an engine of this size down under lower load.

Not What I Ordered Or Like The Picture As Advertised
By Todd B. 
Wells, Nevada
Purchased 02/22/2019 | 
Review Posted 04/08/2019 
I’m not happy about this generator at all. The handle to move it doesn’t lock and when you push it back for any reason weather it’s to load or unload it folds up. The back of the generator goes down and the front goes up folding the handles down. This isn’t what I ordered.

Bad design
Worked Great, For The First 25 Hours
By Tim B. 
Agate, Colorado
Review Posted 03/26/2019 
Then during the first real storm outage the generator failed to start. Gen starts to run then after 2 to 3 seconds sounds like it's running out of fuel. Spray in starting fluid and runs ok, until it runs dry again. Have been using Stabil in fuel since new. Bypassed fuel filter, no help. And full flow from gas tank through fuel filter.


Also, first time I turned fuel on the plastic fuel shutoff valve broke through the thin plastic panel holding it into place so have been using it outside the control panel since plastic lock is broken.Kind of stinks running a generator off and on to keep it in running shape for 2 years, then during the first 2 day power outage, no generator. It took 3 hours to get to the air filter due to design, just to see it still looks new.

Thought we had a good generator but after 25 hours turns out to be a dud.

Very sorry to hear you're having problems with your generator. Based on what you described, you generator might require a "High Altitude Kit" to be installed if you're using the generator in an area that is over 2000 feet above sea level.

Please refer to page 10 of your owner's manual for more information. To locate a Generac service center, they can be reached directly @ 888-436-3722

Owned it for over 4 mouth now just had my house wired and a out side plug installed the last big storm that came through took out all of Cleveland and areas power was out for over 14 hrs.
