Review Posted 01/10/2023
The generator was easy to set up and get an activation code, but when it came to auto startup from a remote contact no one at generac was able to give help. The support team finally refered a local dealer who had the answers.

I WANTED To Love It
By Steven W.
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Review Posted 11/30/2020
Honestly this was about the worst purchase I ever made for a backup generator.
My Ecogen 6kw had been sold (long story) so I bought this 15kw instead. It DID work...for about a month. Then I got all kinds of errors on it, to the point that they actually replaced the entire unit.
Same error, almost right out of the box. "VMF Field Loss" I think is what it said (been a while since I looked at it). There's a remarkable lack of information about it, and the local Generac folks got less and less helpful when I talked to them. I finally gave help and figured it was a sunk cost and was simply a bad design.
Pros: WHEN IT WORKED it was quiet, steady, strong power without fluctuation or problem.
Cons: It didn't work for very long.
Eventually I'll haul it out and send it to the recycler, I guess......
Very sad.

Oil Burning Disaster
By S Bar Ranch
Hill City, Idaho
Review Posted 07/28/2020
It’s burned oil it’s whole life. After 38 months including 6 months of complaining. No warranty unless enrolling in service program. Tearing it out for a Kohler. It’s for sale if someone wants to work on it.
