Perfect for my needs

Would Recommend

The price point was reasonable and the GP3250 is perfect for my needs, including emergency power at my home and cottage and portable power for construction projects. It was easy to assemble out of the box. I added oil and gas, gave it a couple of pulls and it started right u.

perfect choice for my needs.

Would Recommend

I was looking for a model that was easy to move, performed as quietly as possible and was easy to operate. I have all that and more with this unit.

Great Value

Would Recommend

Great value and great reliability. The only option it doesn't have is the auto-throttle for on-demand power, and those units were out of my budget range. It's not too loud and supports all the tools that I need to use in the field.

Quick to make ready!

Would Recommend

Easy to make ready....runs smooth and somewhat quiet. Setting at the ready if we need back up power. This was purchased for backup in case of power outage. Very heavy duty and well built!

EXCELLENT POWER SOURCE

Would Recommend

Lost power a few days ago, suppose to be without power for 3 days, turned out to be 26 hours. Went to the hardware store and bought the GP3300 model, wanted to run the freezer and fridge( also the pellet stove in the winter if need be). The unit is outstanding, so EASY to start and everything worked well! Could not have purchased a better unit. I would recommend this unit to everyone!

Generac GP3250

Would Recommend

Picked it up from the store, added oil & gas and it started first pull. I have yet to put it through an extended test but initial performance is as expected.

This product has great features

Would Recommend

I purchased this in 2012 for occasional power outages. I didn't have to use it until December of 2013 during an ice storm. I added gas, and it started up immediately. It's relatively quiet, compared to the all the other units that were running in my neighborhood, and had no problem running my appliances. The on/off switch was broken, luckily in the "on" position. I was able to shut it off by turning off the fuel line and have ordered a new switch.

What I was looking for

Would Recommend

Been very happy with the generator so far. I like that it is lighter than most competitor's units with similar power. It has started on the first pull every single time so far and is quieter than I expected. An hour meter would have been nice for maintenance intervals.

Started right up on the first pull of the rope and runs good.

Would Recommend

Started right up on the first pull of the rope and runs good. I bought it mainly to run my two sump pumps when the power goes out. I recently purchased it and have not used it yet during a power outage. I did plug in a light and a space heater and it ran good and did not hesitate when I turned on the 1,500 watt heater. It appears to be a very good generator and it makes me feel better knowing I have it the next time I loose power. I wish it had an hour meter.
