Totally satisfied

Would Recommend

Quality excellent. Started right up and never had any problems for the next 6 days that we were without power. Two heavy duty extension cords kept the refrigerator, furnace and freezer on all the time. Even the water pump kept going, but at time we had to unplug the refrigerator so as not to overload the generator. The only additional feature I can wish for is to be able to daisy chain two generators together to handle loads. This would be nice since from a weight stand point two and easier to h...

Good Price, Easy to move

Would Recommend

I just put the Generac generator together and started on the first pull. It was easy to assemble and easy to move around. I wish the oil fill was easier to fill. Overall great unit, hope all goes well with our next power outage.

Easy set up

Would Recommend

I was able to put this generator together easily. Good solid construction and looks good. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet, so I can not comment on it's use. I love the fact that is runs on propane gas instead of gasoline.

This generator is a geat value for the price.

Would Recommend

We were looking for a dependable emergency back up generator with a modest price. We were surprised to find this high quality Generac generator at a price you would only expect to pay for some off brand discount store model. We are very comfortable knowing when the time comes we have a quality product we can depend on.

Great features and easy to use!

Would Recommend

The generator went together easy and started up with ease! No problems with the power it supplies. Enough to keep 2 refrigerators and keep the heater going during the power failure!

Best mix of quality and value.

Would Recommend

I have used many different sizes and brands of portable generators over a 22 year career in heavy industrial maintenance. There are very expensive very durable brands out there and there are cheap and undependable. I put Generac in the very durable and reliable class but cost much less than comparable brands. When I needed a portable generator for my own personal use I chose Generac.

its a 3250

dont expect to power your entire house with this little gem. its easy to set up out of the box,,just dont wait until its 10 degrees to do it. starts on the first or second pull,,easy to pull also. it is less noisy,,i use noisy because "Quiet" sets you up for more than expected results. if your on a farm its quiet,,if your in a tight neighborhood,,,it's kinda loud,,,but,,you need power so too bad. no worse than a 2 cycle lawn mower,,you know,,a low roar rather than a 4 cycle assault .but it is 4 ...

Excellent product for the buck

Would Recommend

Purchased this generator as a backup power source when there is a power outage especially winter time to be able to run the furnace. This small but powerful unit does the job and does it well. I can run a fridge a freezer and the furnace with no problem whatsoever. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap backup power source.

My power went out due to weather and this generator ran for 49 hours non stop. I never had one issue with it, this thing is great.

Easy enough!

Would Recommend

I'm not what you'd call handy. But no matter. The LP3250 Generac generator had all the parts I needed, and it went together just fine (if you put away the owner's manual and just use the colored pictorial sheet enclosed in the box). Simply follow the steps as outlined. This machine is not as heavy as I expected, which is a good thing, because my wife could hold up the back while I installed the wheels. It's easy to maneuver, too. I followed the on-board pictorial starting/stopping instructions, ...

So far, so good!

Would Recommend

I just purchased the GP3250, added oil, gas, and got it running with two relatively easy pulls in -15deg C (5deg F) cold. It's very quiet, looks sturdy, is fairly light, and overall feels solidly built. My only complaint is that the breakers for the 120v receptacles are 14amps, meaning you can't run some tools (table saws) without tripping the breaker. Why only 14, when so many heavy tools are at the 15 threshold? Other than that, quite pleased, and picked up on sale as well.

Perfect for emergencies or deer camp

Would Recommend

Followed the instructions and went together easily. After adding gas and oil the generator fired up on the first pull with the choke on in 28 degree weather with blowing snow. The little generator was able to keep up with air compressors in my garage, lights, and radios with no problem.

A great backup generator

Would Recommend

I was fortunate enough to purchase this prior to Sandy hitting NJ. This generator performed flawlessly for 11 consecutive days. I was lucky to have two 20 pound tanks and 2 30 pound tanks that I used for my pool heater to get me through the storm. Setup is easy, the unit starts right up when you follow the stated protocol and it runs quieter than a gasoline unit. Also, you don't have to worry about ethanol fouling your carburetor. Please note that I was powering 120v only and limited supply to m...
