Perfect for me.

Would Recommend

Being a senior citizen, this generator, the GP3300, was easy for me to handle. It starts on the first pull. Needed this Generac for assurance that I have power to support my husbands medical equipment during power outages.

Worked Well and Met Our Emergency Power Needs

Would Recommend

We ordered the generator a few days before hurricane Irma hit our area. It was easy to assemble and started up right away. Very easy to use and performed well during the storm. It saved our refrigerated food and powered a fan and light to keep us more comfortable.

Quality unit

Would Recommend

I have not had reason to run my GP3300 very long, but out of the box it seems to be a robust and refined product. I need to put a transfer switch into my house now, we'll see how that fits in my budget.

Great unit. Easy to assemble out of the box, quiet running. Easy to move around. Just wish it had a hour meter to help keep track for maintenance. Should get many years of service from this generator

Solidly Built Unit

Would Recommend

I bought this generator AFTER we had been out of power for 5 1/2 hours with flooding rain. Ended up with 1 1/2 feet of water in our basement and expected flooding again the next night. So I haven't had any reason to put gas in and start it up, planning on using it for emergency power only, but keeping fresh gas available at all times. I know of Generac's reputation for quality and after assembling the handle and wheels and doing a good looking over I can tell they have a great quality program. I...

Very happy! Not loud!

Would Recommend

I am very pleased with this generator! I bought this generator with the fact in mind that I'm not always home when the power goes out. I needed something that my wife and 10 year old boy could move around, hook up everything and crank it up if I wasn't there. I wanted dependability, and security in my mind that they could and it would start when they needed it! This unit is great for housing developments because the noise level is not that loud. (Bigger is not always Better if it's so big t...

Emergency need. GP3300

Would Recommend

Had a severe power outage of over 12 hours with no scheduled end in sight. Needed to save the fridge and freezer food. Nearest store had this Generac unit available. Mine is a GP3300 not the GP3250. I couldn't find the listing for mine. It offers a few more watts and has dual duplex outlets. Never used a portable generator before; instructions were clear and easy (although I didn't see where the large washers were to go/figured it out after it was assembled...axle spacers) Started on the 2nd pul...

Ready for NO Power

Would Recommend

Purchased this because of many power failures here in the Santa Cruz Mountains this last winter, put it together, and it started right up! That is much appreciated and very good. Have only used twice but excellent product and reputation will not have to worry about no power for years to come!!

Good little generator but watch out if you're planning to use RV air conditioner

Would Recommend

I bought this generator to keep my camper batteries charged and occasionally run the A/C. This generator will not fire up my 15K BTU AC unit without blowing the breaker on the generator. It's still a good generator for the price, but it's a little disappointing that it won't do everything I needed it to do. I think the problem is that both circuits are limited to 13.5 amps on the breaker. My AC unit runs about 12.5 amps, but will pull slightly more than 14 amps on startup. I should have research...

Good little generator

Would Recommend

Bought last year. Starter cord beginning to fray, might be due to the location which is behind the frame/cage, which makes it mildly awkward for starting. Starts up easily, runs great. Use a heavy duty cord to run high power items like a worm drive or chop saws, other wise with a smaller dia. cord it may trip the breaker. At my cabin will run a 240v well, 110v shop vacuum & LED lights at the same time without any issues. Good on gas too.
