Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Excellent Quiet Backup
Would RecommendThis is an excellent, quiet backup generator. I particularly like the V-8 engine and the aluminum enclosure (which should avoid the rust problems that I have experienced with a previous steel-enclosed generator). I would suggest that the shut-off switch mounted outside the lockable controls makes tampering a little too easy. If an emergency shut-off is needed, it should be wired so as to be operable ONLY while the generator is running.

Love The Automated Features
Would RecommendHasn't been asked to perform yet, but installing contractor has one and swears by its value and reliability. Just in case, I bought the 10 year extended warranty. Live in mountains and lose power regularly from ice storms. Feel much more secure now.

Came on when needed just like it was supposed to
Would RecommendBought a year ago and haven't needed it until this week. It switched within seconds and It has been running non stop for 65 hrs. Finally gave it a break to check the oil. Avg 1.5 gal LP per hr. The power has been excellent and it handled all the appliances when needed. Much quieter than the portable units my neighbors are using. It would nice if it had wifi or bluetooth.

Very quiet for such a large generator
Would RecommendVery quiet for such a large generator. I do not like the extra kill switches they are too easy to bump and cause the machine to show a code or shut down. Changing the orifice from natural gas to propane is very difficult I had to make a special flat blade device to remove the orifice which meant I had to remove the whole internal regulator, this needs to be changed.

great generator so far
Would Recommendjust finished the install. the conversion to LP gas was a challenge as the location of the orifice required removing the whole solenoid assembly and then finding a tool with a wide enough blade to install the LP gas orifice.

It’s everything I expected!
Would RecommendThis is a great looking generator and at 48KW it will power everything in the house! After hurricane Michael, I used my Generac portable 15KW to keep the essential household items running for days until the power was restored! The quality of a Generac system is unbeatable!

Keeping It Going
Would RecommendI am thrilled to have my Generac generator installed and ready to “go” in an emergency.The brand is excellent (previously owned the same at a former residence) and installation by Premier Power Systems in Jacksonville went seamlessly. Bob Holman and his team are the best in the business.

Off to a good start...
Would RecommendHaving suffered through a multi-year problem with a competitor's product issues, I went searching for a reliable alternative. I was very professionally guided in my search by TSE Power Solutions and chose a 48KVW diesel unit from Generac. The planning and execution of the installation were exceptionally well handled and went as scheduled. Start-up proceeded flawlessly as well and we are now set to go. I am confident this will be a much better, long term solution that will fit our needs.

No effort peace of mind
Would RecommendInstalled this during a rebuilt with doing so kept in mind during planning. No other service disconnect needed in my area and re-located my electrical system around it. Not had the chance to have it function as it should, but looking forward to not having to lift a finger for it to do so! Have the same at my Mom's home on a 16KW and most of the time she doesn't know power has switched over.

25kW Generac Protector
Would Not RecommendI would not buy a Generac generator again. I ordered this generator with the specification that it run on LPG, but when it was delivered, it was set up for NG. We had to convert it in the field, but of course Generac doesn't supply the special tools to convert it in the field. After hours of fighting the fuel orifice, and nearly stripping it out because we didn't have a wide enough screw driver, we finally got it converted. Then it states in the instructions that when fuel type is converted, it ...
