Engine blew a valve after 6 years and perfect maintenance records. Replaced engine and sold it. Went with different manufacturer. Still have 3 other Generacs that so far, no problems.

Awsome
By Karin C

Purchased 08/12/2024 | 
Review Posted 09/24/2024 
I bought this generator as part of my solar power project. I hired solar guy of Snohomish wa and worked with Alex to get my dream setup. I wanted to have power during the night hours if my power company looses power. This generator is able to power 90 percent of my house. Love the support of this company. I had my generator installed by a master electrician.

Great Generator For The Price
By Ronald D 
Massachusetts
Purchased 08/09/2024 | 
Review Posted 08/31/2024 
Installation went well except the wiring at the unit is a little tight ( code here requires #8 wire ) Startup and setup was easy, trying to find enough things to turn on to create a full load was fun. Instructions a good. Qas impressed with how soon it showed at my door.

Nice Smaller Automatic Generator
By Nila W 
Missouri
Purchased 04/26/2024 | 
Review Posted 07/05/2024 
Very nice smaller automatic generator. Second one I have installed. Easy install. Worked perfectly upon startup. however we are experiencing a problem with the battery charger. Hopefully service people will get it taken care of. Other than this problem, an excellent generator.

Delivered Next Day
By Kevin M

Purchased 01/15/2024 | 
Review Posted 02/27/2024 
review 8 image 1
During an emergency, the generator was delivered next day. As I use this for my park model trailer I used the ATS to power my complete breaker box instead of using the supplied dedicated breakers as my complete breaker box is a 50 amp service. Simple to use monitoring panel, and the phone assistance was quick and very helpful.

7.5 Kw Generac Installed
By Paul B 
Connecticut
Review Posted 02/07/2024 
Overall very nice value for the price. It installed easily. No issues with it starting or programming up the controller. If I had any say in future design of this unit I would probably make the electrical connection entryway bigger than it is currently and I would add external feet for mounting it to the pad.
