Great out of the box

Would Recommend

Bought a Murdoch's who did a great job making sure it worked before I brought it home. Regardless, it started first pull. If you have Murdoch's nearby, sign up for their customer rewards program and get 10% off.

Amazed it started!

Would Recommend

To be entirely honest I was amazed the generator even started after seeing the condition of the box it arrived in. The case of the generator was apparently damaged slightly where the front control panel is attached to the case but I didn't feel it would be a problem with the operation of the unit. I didn't have the opportunity to check the output voltage and frequency at this time but will get to that later. I took photos of the condition of the damaged box it arrived in and attached one to this...

Portable Power

Would Recommend

Nothing beats portable power! I have a 12 amp corded leaf blower/ vacuum, and several areas that need my equipment, unfortunately they are just too far for extension cords so I needed portable power, and this is exactly what I needed. It’s not too heavy to move around and it’s very easy to use, Excellent product!

Is perfect for camping or general use.

Would Recommend

I actually bought this late in the season on our last camping weekend. I was pleased with the easy pull start. Started up right away. Did a great job charging the camper battery. Will run everything except the a/c.

Good product without much support or info

Would Recommend

First off I won this in a raffle, so there is nothing to complain about. However I would like to point out a few things that I feel could be done better by Generac. First off, there are no break in instructions included with the generator. I assume every small engine needs a break in period so I had to look this up myself and perform it. Secondly, why no wheel kit? Yes it’s kinda light but would a wheel kit be hard to make or sell? Sure would be handy, so I’ll have to make one myself. Th...

This product is compact and quiet

Would Recommend

Ordered product arrived on time. Shipped product was not damaged. Opened box, added oil & fuel and it started immediately! This product runs very quiet and efficiently. I may order another plus a parallel kit to run two units for more power.

New Unit Tested By Hurricane Ida

Would Recommend

I bought two of these units for construction work but did not use them until Hurricane Ida. I used one and it's quiet and worked flawlessly. I used it for about a week nonstop. The power lasted about 8 hrs per tank full. I powered a house refrigerator, washing machine, several fans and computers. I did buy the inverter generator parallel kit to tie the two units together to supply 6000 but did not need it yet.

Lasted as long as the warrantie

Would Not Recommend

Did my research and decided to buy a gp3000i, mainly to run the AC on my 28 foot rv. Used it a few times during power outages, etc did fine. Kept a log on how many hours, when it ran last, etc. trying to maximize my investment so the gen would last. Made a cover to keep it clean and protected. Took the trailer on a 5 month trip this year and was using just to run the ac during the heat of the day. It started failing by just quiting. It would restart ok and keep running for a while till it died a...

Used twice and issues- now prepping for storm and no luck

Would Recommend

I purchased this generator two years ago I have since used twice, draining it regularly as well as running it as needed. 1- I recently tried to start and at first pull the recoil did not work. It took about 30 soft pulls and me walking away for it to retract. 2 - purging, I don’t know if this is normal but it purges when it ran and now it won’t run, cleaned the carb from sitting- even without fuel. And ran for 30 second then have to pull it again 3. Service, I just looked up and the cl...

Would Recommend

I bought the 3000. Lived off it for a few days after hurricane Sally. It powered the full sized refrigerator, an electric cooktop, television, surround sound, phone/laptop chargers throughout the entire power outage. Its easy to carry and surprisingly quiet.

Get what you pay for

Would Recommend

Definitely not the cheapest, but it'll be worth the money in the long run. All features are as advertised, quiet, powerful, LCD screen provides very useful information. Parallel kit to use two at once works perfect as well. Would recommend to anyone. However, NO WHEELS. Being an inverter generator, this is heavy. So I was surprised when I could not find a wheel attachment for this. It would make moving around so much easier.

Very pleased

Would Recommend

Purchased through Amazon, arrived in a timely manner in perfect condition. Unpacked, added oil and ethanol-free gas, it started on the 2nd pull. Very satisfied with how quiet it is, will be using it with a small travel trailer. Let it run for 20 minutes with a light load, then shut down. A few hours later it started first pull and I connected to the trailer and started the A/C. The generator was only about 2 feet from the trailer and I couldn't hear it inside with the A/C running. Let it run for...

This generator saved our business after the July 28 storm knocked out power in Ripon, WI

Would Recommend

We are the owners of J&G's Place 2B, a bed and breakfast in Ripon, WI. A massive storm hit Ripon and surrounding areas on July 28, 2021 and shortly after midnight we lost power during the middle of EAA Airventure, when Oshkosh hosts the world's largest airshow for a week. This is also the busiest week of the year for our business. A requirement for a bed & breakfast license is that you MUST HAVE HOT WATER, otherwise you are to close immediately. We were looking at a couple of thousand of dollars...
