Generac GP18000-Watt EFI Portable Generator with 50 amp Transfer Switch Kit Bundle

Great features compared to other generators

I'm 70 years old and live alone. When I purchased this product generators were in very high demand due to frequent power outages and severe storms. It was the only one I could find. There's no doubt that it's a wonderful product, but it's too heavy for me, and I don't have the upper body strength to start it with the pull cord. I need to find a neighbor to help, usually during driving rain and terrible weather conditions-not ideal times to ask for help when neighbors were experiencing simila...

Terrible Experience!

At first I loved my purchase but within operating the generator for 10 hours, one set of outlets has shorted out. There was no water damage, simply stopped working. When I contacted support I was told that I needed to deal with wherever I bought it (authorized dealer) or a repair location. Funny though- repair locations they gave me refuse warranty work, and authorized dealer tells me it’s a final sale, best of luck. Terrible experience to spend $1k on a generator and have it working 50% within ...

Good generators but...

Bought 2 of these. In FL, I start them about every 6 months. At 9 months old, one did not start. H Depot didn't even have them on file as a purchase. Generac fixed that. I got the repair but had to rent a uhaul - 2 separate trips to take to the shop and back home. I think it should have been fixed on site, considering I spent almost 2k with them. I do like them though

Easy set up

I purchased this a month ago at Farm and Fleet. Set up was super easy. It fired right up, the battery already had a full charge on it for the starter. There are directions on the machine so when the power does go out and your in a rush you don’t have to go looking for anything it’s all on the machine and ready to get your house back up and running.

Easy to use

I bought the 8063 tri fuel generator at a local hardware store, I local electrician installed a transfer switch. Approximately a week later we had a power outage. The generator worked as expected it did seem to be a little hard to start i was using propane, but that may be normal I don't have experience with using propane for fuel.

Overall, very good quality and features.

Just bought this a month ago and haven't had the need to use it yet. But I did have to assemble the handle, wheels, add oil and gas and start it. My review is solely based on that. The wheels were relatively easy to assemble, keeping in mind that the machine is heavy and you will need to lift it on blocks, or use a helper. They give you a perfectly shaped funnel to add the oil. Don't lose it. The handles are easy to install and conveniently fold down when not in use. They make it very eas...

Tri fuel

I bought this generator recently to be used to back up the electric power in my home during power outages. I have not had a chance to use it yet but have tested this generator and it works quite well.

Must have!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed when receiving the generator. It is heavy and the packaging met the needs so it was protected during shipping. There was even a couple strips is 1/2” wood to protect the parts. You will need a couple people to load it into a pickup bed. The first thing I do with all equipment is read the manual and check for missing parts. One very small issue, the bolts in the parts list did not match what was shipped. There were 4 ...

Great product

I bought this last month after a second round of thunderstorms. I starter up fine, and ready for the next power outage. Just would be quiter while running.

Nice unit.

I bought this after the last storm, but haven't had to use it yet. It starts easy and should have plenty of power to run the whole house.
