Works as advertised!

Would Recommend

The generator puts out the wattage advertised and is easy to use. It would be nice if it had wattage guages on it, but that is a minor detail. Easy to use, and easy to start. What else can I say?

Very well made, ours is the GP3300 and is a solid product

Would Recommend

I received this as a Christmas gift from my wife, and it is clearly a well made item. It is solid, looks good and will more than meet our needs from recreation to powering items in a back workshop to helping us at times of no power in the home. We will definitely look at a whole house model in the near future! Generac is solid equipment with a long standing reputation of quality.

just what we needed when the power failed again

Would Recommend

Easy to assemble as it was getting dark. We had it running in twenty minutes from the box. One pull starting everytime and we had light for dinner. Great knowing we can now get power in an instant.

Amazing Generator

Would Recommend

This is a nice generator - I like the fact that it uses propane because you don't have to worry about gas going bad, especially for us because we only use it when the power goes out - which in this case was 2 years with no use (but we start it a few times a year). We have a transfer switch and when the power goes out, this generator powers all of the essentials for us easily. The unit is on wheels and easy to move around. Noise level is average to low average. It is outside out kitchen and we ca...

This product exceeds all of my expectations.

Would Recommend

After spending much time doing research before making my generator purchase; I became convinced that Generac branded equipment was superior in design and quality. The GP 3250 series generators are the right size to meet my needs for portable back up power. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Great value for your money

Would Recommend

Easy to deal with size and enough power to handle most home emergency back up equipment. Ran well right out of the box. Smallest generator I could find with 240 outlet.

No good for power tools

Would Recommend

Very nice but if you want a generator to run power tools do not by this one. It will not even run a skill saw or a chop saw. The 14 amp breaker is to weak for these kind of power tools

Excellent for the money

Would Recommend

I wanted a portable generator that would run on propane. This unit was delivered to the door and was easy to put together the wheels and propane holder. one half hour from delivery it was running. Started on second pull. Tested the outlets and all is good. I bought propane because of the long life for storage and to avoid the carburetor gumming issues associated with gasoline

easy and safe fuel handling.

Would Recommend

Safer than liquid fuels. Safer to store fuel prior to incident.

Great for emergency backup

Would Recommend

I purchased primarily for emergency backup use. I went with LP because of that fact. LP provides many advantages over other fuels, especially for users like myself who may go extended periods without use. Setup was easy. Started right away. Tested for all function and A-OK. I hope I never need it, but if I do it will be worth every penny to have.

Smallest and lightest i've found with 240 volt plug

Would Recommend

Works great. Starts Easily. I like that I can use it to run my 240 volt well pump. Other brands would have forced me to buy a larger unit to have this option.

Love the color and easy to move around

Would Recommend

Purchased when hit by tornado, power out for 19 hours, the unit was lightweight and easy to start, very economical didnt use tons of gasoline. We liked the looks of the unit, and we were able to share the power with a neighbour and kept both our and there freezer and fridge working efficiently. The price was right , Great Deal, great product. Thanks
