What Customers Are Saying

The product offers convenient remote monitoring capabilities, with real-time notifications and maintenance tracking appreciated by many users. However, the mobile app system has faced technical issues like connectivity problems and unreliable alerts. Some customers feel the annual subscription fee is not justified given the limited functionality compared to other smart home solutions. Overall, the generator itself is praised, but the mobile monitoring system has room for improvement in terms of reliability and value.

Nice to finally have an app!

Would Recommend

Needless to say, after we put in our Generac 20KW standby unit with all the bells and whistles, we haven't had a power outage. But having the app and eliminating all those unnecessary e-mail notifications will give us peace of mind knowing we can check status and call for service wherever we are.

Lifesaver

Would Recommend

I live in an area that has frequent power outages. I can now go to sleep knowing that my alarm will wake me for work, my basement will not be flooded, and my food is fresh. I don't have to worry about my disabled husband is trying to go down in the basement and out to the garage several times trying to get the gasoline powered generator going. I love my Generac and I love mobile link. If I ever move it is going with me.

Love the text feature

Would Recommend

It's so reassuring when you get a weekly text telling you Your generator is working. Living in Hinsdale there's always power outages and were so happy we got the best generator out there. Also our installer did a great job and is always a phone call away if I have any issues. Love my generator!

Great Product, But needs a little work.

Would Recommend

I love my Generac 20kw Generator and have had nothing but the best experience when dealing with it. I had the mobile link installed by my dealer almost as soon as it was made available to the public and it works great. My only complaint is the amount of time it takes for alerts to come through when the generator status changes. I get email and text alerts and they take far too long to come through. I find it sometimes takes up to 45 minutes after a power failure before I get any notification tha...

Great feature

Would Recommend

We purchased Mobile Link with our 17KW backup generator. Generator status is available via email and text message - our installer/maintainer also gets all messages - so no need to call for service. It's a comfort to be to know generator status whether we're home or away. Very happy with the device and service.

This product has changed my life

Would Recommend

I own a home that just happens to be on the low end of our street so water is an issue. I used to live in fear of power outages as I would immediately be taking on water. Battery backup pumps only work to a limited degree. Now I sleep well and no longer worry as my Generac Generator is there for me. The Mobile Link adds another level of comfort to me knowing that the system is working whether I am home or away. Great product Generac!

The Mobile Link does exactly what it is advertised to do at a reasonable price. I love knowing that my Generac is working properly, especially while I am away from home.

Great add on

We have the new mobile link for our inline Generac generator. We now receive email and text messages on the test and operation of our new generator. This is a fabulous option for anyone with this type of generator. Not only does my wife and I receive the live status , but so does our service provider. Should there be any negative report, we do not even have to be home to get a service call. Really brilliant........ We are also waiting or the app. Which will be released soo, and should make the p...

Great Product...Provides confidence system is performing while traveling

Would Recommend

I travel extensively for work, but I want to make sure my family is protected while I am gone. It is very easy to forget that a standby generator needs regular maintenance, just like a car, to make sure it is always ready to go. With Mobile Link, the proactive notifications and website allow me to make sure my generator will be ready when my family needs it to be, from wherever I am. The unit looks great and functions flawlessly. I was able to install and register the unit in less than 30 minut...

Mobile Link

Would Recommend

We had the Mobile Link put on our new 20KW Generator. We had our installer hook up the mobile link and he was able to get it installed in about 15 minutes. It mounts nicely on the outside of the generator and connects of a celluar data network. It is REALLY nice to be able to monitor that status of the generator from my smartphone. I am able to see how effiectly it is running, and any scheduled maintance that is upcoming. My wife and I both have alerts sent to our smart phones as text messages a...
