Review Posted 06/02/2023
Purchase was simple and easy. We ordered the generator on Friday, and it was delivered by Wednesday morning!
Delivery was simple and driver was helpful. We used our electrician and plumber to install the generator. They had experience doing installations and that was very important as there are many details to installation and activation to make the whole process seamless.

I needed 70 amps of power for my hotshop and Generac is a trusted brand. The Wi-Fi connectivity is a nice feature and works well so far.

I just recently purchased this package deal. Shipping was quicker than expected. Set up was fairly simple. Only time will tell of its reliability. Started well and ran smooth at initial start up.

Glad I Purchased Another Generac
By William M.
VENETIA, Pennsylvania
Purchased 09/28/2021 |
Review Posted 10/21/2021
This new generator took the place of one that was struck by the close effects of a lightening strike. That one worked for ten years without any issues which is why I felt good about replacing it with another Generac.
