Great machine that handles "blackouts" well and when necessary. Good on fuel and efficient in power production.

Generac Apparently Has Poor Quality Assurance
By MN Homeowner
Minnesota
Review Posted 11/15/2022
The generator is what you would expect with the physical build. HOWEVER.... the factory forgot to plug in the WiFi module. The 4-wire connector was just hanging out not plugged into anything. This was hidden behind a cover that protects the gas/electrical connections from the engine compartment.
I wasted hours trouble shooting everything I could find on the Generac website and online forums. Generac customer support has a consistent 45+ minute wait. But what they don't tell you when you call their main number is that if you have a question about WiFi connectivity or the Mobile Link interface, you have to wait on hold again! This was a 45-60 minute wait time after the initial 45-minute wait time.
In short, I don't know how a $6k item leaves the factory without the wiring being double checked.

Review Posted 11/04/2022
The generator is easy to connect to transfer switch. This model seems to run quieter then previous models we have installed. Wifi connect works great.
