The Kubota GL7000, with its 479cc Kubota Z482 liquid-cooled diesel engine, is by far one of the best professional generators available. This model is primarily used on job sites, but can also be used for home applications with a 2-wire automatic transfer switch. The large 7.4-gallon fuel tank will provide up to 10 hours of run time. A large capacity oil pan provides oil change intervals up to 200 hours, and, with a dual-element air filter design, it can handle those dusty conditions found on construction sites. If you are looking for a top quality generator that has multiple uses, look no further than our "best" recommended unit.

Solid Performer Thus Far
By James B

Review Posted 06/26/2024
Used during a recent power outage and the generator performed flawlessly. Only have a few hours on it thus far. It seems to have the quality of other reliable Kubota products.

WAY Beyond Expectations
By Gary S.
Washington, District of Columbia
Purchased 12/18/2018 |
Review Posted 02/08/2019
It was easy to set up, almost intuitive. The key -ON feature with different positions/ functions for start up was great. Everything operated flawlessly. As I was moving my 3 modest sized gas generators out of the way and readying them for the yardsale, it occurred to me the Kubota might be pretty noisy. ( It' size made me think that) But NO ! It's quieter than my gas models, by almost half.
Helpful hint: Until they include wheels on this model, I found it VERY helpful to load it directly onto to a heavy capy. dolly ( the type that has 4 wheels and lays down) from the delivery truck. Lay the dolly down, all 4 wheels on the ground and load it lengthwise on the dolly. Use the squared tubular type "feet" to ratchet-strap it to the dolly. The configuration of the generator base lends itself perfectly to this type of dolly and made it easy to push it over to the garage. It'll roll out to the garage edge when running during power outages.
The Customer Service I received from both EG Direct and the delivery driver was FIRST RATE ! Too bad I can only select 4 items to check in the "Pros" section of this review.

Kubota GL7000 Is The Best
By David T.
Leesburg, Virginia
Purchased 12/20/2018 |
Review Posted 01/16/2019
I purchased our Kubota GL7000 a month ago for our race team trailer. We work right next to other teams, so noise is a big factor. After we started up our generator, everyone's jaws dropped because the generator was so quiet.
We run our a/c system and electricity in our 40 ft. trailer without a hiccup. This generator is awesome!!!

This is the first time doing business with Generators Direct and we have been very happy with the generator, the price and especially the customer service. We called to place our order and get some questions answered and our call was transferred quickly to a pretty knowledgeable sales person that took care of us all the way through. We even got them to add another company name to the invoice after the fact to better reflect who was purchasing this generator. Will definitely use their services again.

This is my second GL7000, the first one has over 8000 hr and it is starting to use oil. The only thing other than oil & filter changes I changed the air filters once, No other services.

Silent Generator
By Marie T.
Baldwin, New York
Purchased 11/07/2016 |
Review Posted 12/29/2016
We purchased a 10 KW generator online at a decent price and had the biggest disappointment. The electrician recommended a Kubota. We searched the web, called Electric Generator Direct and our new generator was on it's way to the Caribbean. The most silent unit...runs well, was easy to install. No regrets about spending money to replace that other unit. We run 3 wall AC on it, 1 large freezer, all the lights and other accessories. I love it!!!
