Works well for small things. Instructions are conf

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The generator works well for small things like camping or a few devices at a time. I wouldn’t use it for a whole house but it could handle my essentials if I needed it to. The set up is not intuitive and the instructions are horrible. They should definitely include clearer instructions and pictures or how to set up the device and how to operate it. It’s quite heavy but easy roll around once the wheels and handles are attached.

5000 starting watts, 4000 running watts. Dual fuel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The durability of this power systems GP4000 dual fuel 49 ST is amazing! Having dual fuel gives it versatility. Performance is great. When we lost power it gave us comfort allowing us to run our portable AC and keep our refrigerator running. This generator has brought great value to our house. A additional benefit is it’s on wheels so we can easily set it up. Generac is a very durable generator. I was given this generator to test and write m...

MUST Have for Homeowners! 5 Stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't be happier with my Generac Power Systems GP5500 generator! Received just days before Nor'easter hit area and community power outage hit. This unit offers incredible value for its price, combining outstanding quality craftsmanship with durable materials that inspire confidence. Set-up was a breeze, and the ease of use is unbeatable! What really impresses me is how easily movable it is. The sturdy wheels make maneuvering it feel like ...

Dependable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is hands down one of the most dependable brands of generators on the market! It can power multiple appliances at once! This saves you in the midst of hurricane season in Texas and is a staple!

It came with a battery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s quieter than most generators you can use 120 to 240 vote. It’s got different plugs and super heavy but once you get it together, you can move it just about through anything.

Easy to assemble and use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where to start! This thing is heavy! After reading the instructions assembly seemed easy enough! It was about 30 minutes for assembly. I like that it has wheels making i extremely easy to move. The handle locks in place to move it and unlocks to store it. We are in the Midwest in an old neighborhood that has consistent power outages. This will make those days so much less stressful! We added the oil and fuel. It had a gage to show how much fuel...

Amazing Generator!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is great! I love that it is dual fuel, and even comes with a nice propane quick disconnect hose. It was super easy to assemble and setup. It was also pretty easy to start up and is decently quiet. Overall, really impressed with this generator!

Excellent generator!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you so much for letting me test out this generator. It is so easy to use. I did have help setting it up as it was very heavy. Once we got it on the wheels it was a breeze to maneuver. This feature helps to get it out of storage once it is actually needed. This generator works great and without jinxing myself I can’t wait to use it. This generator will have enough power to operate all of my essential appliances if the power happens to go o...

Worth the Money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are absolutely in love with this generator. Be warned, that it does weigh 120 pounds, so you’ll need to be able to grab it inside and have to move it around to attach the wheels and handle. This is unique because it allows for two different power sources - gasoline or propane. Once the wheels and handle are attached, is is very easy to move around. Fairly compact for the amount it can power our house, so that is a huge perk! Only suggestion,...

Easy setup and efficient usage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked well after a short setup. It is very nice being able to switch between gas and propane. Was able to keep our camper powered all day with our propane tank.

My wife and I bought our Generac about 4 months ago due to all the power outages happening . I am so glad we did it has been the best investment for us to help power the house when the electricity goes off

Works fine, but super-loud

Would Recommend

In reality, I only used this for about 20 minutes when the power came back on. This replaces a very old generator that had half the power. Aside from it working well, I can certainly say this generator is deafeningly-loud. Keeping it outside means you typically won't be bothered by it, but it makes you wonder if they could have improved the muffler.

Piece of mind

I bought the generator a couple of months ago to prepare for any power outage and haven’t had to use it yet. It’s great knowing we are prepared for an issue that WILL occur.
