This is a great and dependable generator. During Hurricane Sally which was a direct hit and a super slow mover, we were without power for over a week. I ran this generator everyday to power my refrigerator, freezer, coffee machine, selected lights and a cook top. I ran it from 6am - 10 pm sitting it down for about 1 hour to do maintenance (check oil, fill with fuel and cool down) every afternoon.

Bought the GP7500E and it has worked great starts every time and runs my whole house. At 50% load it runs for a good 11 hours just like it claims to do. I strongly recommend this generator.

Review Posted 12/27/2018
This is my third generator. My first electric start I've had. Please spend a little more and get the electric start. It's sweet. We had a 14" snow fall on 12/9/18 here in North Carolina. It started Saturday evening and at 8:05am Sunday morning our power went out. We have a 3500 sq ft home. The only thing I have hooked up are all of our lights and plugs and one refrigerator and one freezer. It was able to handle all of this with no problem. We went 8 hours of continuous use and I still had about a gallon left in the tank when the power came back on. It runs smooth and it's quiet considering the last two I had. I would recommend this to anyone.

Great Product and Very Happy With It Fires Right Up

Review Posted 11/14/2018
Bought this for my home emergency generator. It's a little loud but I'm used to listening to my smaller Honda which is very quiet but not large enough to do the whole house. Hopefully you won't need it but if I do. it's there. Just finished all the wiring to my electrical panel. Ready to go.

Since I had a stroke, pulling a rope to start my old one was very difficult. This one was the right price, the right size, and had all the right conveniences. Thank you Electric Generators Direct.

Review Posted 10/04/2018
Generator arrived when promised. After some assembly of wheels I added oil and gas and cranked up the first time. I let it run for about 30 minutes just to break it in. I bought this generator in case of power failure from hurricane Florence but was fortunate in that it never blinked.

This Product and The Company Both Are Terrible!
By Colleen S.

Review Posted 09/12/2018
After using this generator for 67.7 hours, it now needs a new head which costs $400. Generac refuses to stand behind their product and fix this. Their customer service is terrible as is the quality of their products. I do not recommend ever buying anything they make.

Review Posted 07/21/2018
I have been starting this generator weekly now for about 6 months and putting my house on it for about 15 minutes. Just so it runs once in a while. Has always worked perfect. I keep am auto trickle charger on the battery so that will always be fully charged. I do the same to my motorcycle. Generator has no problems running everything in my home. I don't have the electric stove or the dryer on it threw the transfer switch. I have a boiler and a well. I will make coffee with a electric coffee pot and run microwave a bit to make it run a bit more...never even notice the generator hiccup. Very good product from Generac.
