Saved us after Irma

Would Recommend

Living in the outskirts of Gainesville, FL. we lose power on a constant basis, and becomes a constant nuisance to my family and myself. So the following year I determined to take my tax return and buy a new generator. I researched multiple generators in finally set my mind on the Generac 17500. Since receiving my generator in February I've used it seven times running it 4 to 5 hours with no problems, then Irma hit. I ran this generator for over seven days nonstop and it was a lifesaver. I c...

Great Product

Would Recommend

I am very happy with my purchase of the GP17500G generator. I feel that if a hurricane hits the Gulf coast my family will be comfortable in our home, with all the comforts. And I am very happy that it is made in the USA.

Association said no Propane

Would Recommend

I checked with my HOA, they said no to Propane back up. So after researching what my needs were and knowing the quality of Generac. I purchased a GP17500 after talking with a Generac consultant I knew this would run my whole house. Live in Florida known for Hurricanes,I am worry free in the event power goes down.

Outstanding.

Would Recommend

I have had this generator since February 2017, the peace of mind is priceless. I did look tirelessly and this model was the best value. It easily handles our home ( 4200 sq ft) multiple refrigerators and 2 central air units. I did have the electrician wire the house for takeover, much easier given the winters in New England. Easy install, unpack and setup, by myself. Best of all made in the USA, great network of service centers here as well. If you, like me are looking for an alternati...

GP15000E This generator and i have been through two hurracains

Would Recommend

Just before August 9, 2004 – August 15, 2004 I acquired the GP15000E for construction work that i was doing at the time. some of my co workers said that for just for me using portable power it was way overkill but hey i'm just that way. So the overkill came in handy when Hurricane Charley arrived. Charley was brutal, killed power every where. Lucky for me, overkill and I had a lot of Power to run. I was lucky my neighbor was an electrician because i was just going to run fans and and a fridge. ...

Very satisfied

Would Recommend

I cannot argue against Generac generators. For reliability, dependability and overall satisfaction I recommend getting yourself a Generic. Yes, Generacs' do cost a little more but you get what you pay for. However they are not the most expensive generator company. So, don't skimp on safety and comfort due to price. Go the extra mile and buy yourself a piece of mind. I bought myself a portable generator GP1500E to be sure I have what I need.

Lot Of Bang For Your Buck!

Would Recommend

I purchased one of the older versions of the GP15000 and have used it in many different applications. Ranging from running out door sound, stage and lighting for various different music festivals I have help run to running an entire 3 BR 2 Bath house with a 3 ton AC unit. The engine used on these generators are easy to maintain and are extremely durable. With a huge 16 US Gal. fuel tank, I have had my generator run as long as 8 to 10 hours, depending on the load within my household, and last me ...

Excellent Product. Just what we expected.

Would Recommend

We ordered this after Hurricane Matthew and being without power for 5 days. We went with the larger model based on price and recommendations. We are happy and quite pleased with our purchase. We highly recommend Generac! We are comfortable and assurance knowing we will now be better prepared.

Seems to be well built. Could use a volt meter.

Would Recommend

This is a fresh purchase so have not had a chance to operate it as of yet. Looks to be a well built machine and am hoping for a good experience owning it. My main concern is that I can plug it into my double throw auxiliary power and feed power to multiple buildings. The neutral bonding should allow for this. My past gen. Had neutral bonded to fram and would not function this way without throwing the breaker on the gen.

Would Recommend

After having our electrical disconnect professionally installed by the power company our Generac GP17500E, Provides power to our 5,800 square foot home without interruption.

handles whole house

Would Recommend

pro- whole house for me. 2.5 heat pump and any thing else I need in a power outage. Starts well; comes up to power right away. con- don't like the plug in underneath. My old 15,000 had it right out front. In my area we can expect an outage about every 2 months; sometimes lasting from 2 hrs. to 10 hrs. and even several days. Wouldn't be without my Generac.(P.S. I am a retired electrical employe)

Started Right Up & Reliable

Would Recommend

I got this one to replace my older model Generac which needs service- 15 years old and still running well. This new one is just as reliable and started up right away the first time I used it. I use it weekly to pump well water and also use it for my house as a back up power source (off-grid). I researched for months before deciding on this generator and it has been everything that I needed and expected. Works great and I highly recommend it!
