Ratings & Reviews for Generac 49 State 8125 Starting / 6500 Running Watt Gasoline Single fuel Portable Generator

We bought 6 generator for our excavating company very happy with them

Nice generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This geneator will be great when we are boondocking with our RV! It requires gasoline which is a minus for me because of the smell but at the same time, it is easy to find and purchase. This is a very heavy item, and you will need a friend to move it around!

Quality Generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Generac 5500 generator was very simple and easy to put together. Adding oil and fuel easy as well. Start-up with manual startup was fairly easy. This unit also comes with a battery for an electric start which is pretty cool. The load can handle several small appliances such as a refrigerator, freezer and a TV or you can use it to run a single 220 volt HVAC system by itself. Moving the unit is a breeze as it comes with a handy handle that fo...

Greta feture and the phone call to register it was

Very happy with the product, I purchased it two months ago

Good product

It worked well the one time we’ve had to use it already.

Solid, well-made unit.

This generator is everything it claims to be. Easy to set-up, use and is reliable. I hooked it up to my home for a test-run the day after I received it. It started up instantly and powered the entire "critical function" sub-panel in my home (HVAC, water/well, freezers/refrigerators, water heater (gas), water softener, garage door, washer/dryer (gas), WIFI/network and critical lights/outlets). We built our home in 1998 (just prior to "Y2K", ha!) and included the sub-panel. I toyed with the ide...

So glad I bought this unit. Sence I bought it I’ve had to use it twice already

electric star is a bonus

replaced my old generator with Generac 6700, i wanted electric start with multi fuel, this fits my needs, very happy with purchase and has worked well.

Big Blue Back Up

It does the job, it runs everything in the house except the HVAC unit and is very quiet

after purchasing a different brand and having problems right out of the box with both products I bought this generac portable generator with a generic transfer switch and having it installed by a licensed electrician and approved by my local county all systems are go fortunately have not needed to use it this winter yet but I've had a generac in the past that served me very well

Great quality

The Generac generator that I purchased for our fiber splicing trailer has been great. We haven't had any issues thus far. It is easy to start and starts quickly even in cold weather. It is very quite compared to most others and the gas usage is very minimal. We are more than pleased with our Generac!

Great Generator!!! So grateful for it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful generator! Heavy duty. Gas fueled. Works great and cost effective. The only downside is that it’s very heavy and you need more than one very strong person for initial set up or to even move it and put it together!

Big and durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s been very cold in Wisconsin so I did not have the time to assemble the generator onto its wheels, but I will get to that soon and update my review if needed! This is a very sturdy, powerful and durable piece of machinery. I’m happy to have this for peace of mind if we were to need to use a generator!

Reliable and easy to setup!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Generac GP5500 Single-Fuel (50-State) from Influenster and Generac in exchange for an honest review, and after using it during a recent outage and for a few home projects, I’m genuinely impressed with its performance. The GP5500 has power to spare. It ran all of my essential home items—refrigerator, freezer, Wi-Fi, several lights, and even the microwave—without any strain or noticeable fluctuations. I’ve also used it to power a c...

Very reliable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a reliable, amazing, and price worthy generator, you have found it! This generator is quiet, sustainable, and very functional.

Amazing Generator!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generac Power Systems GP4000 Dual Fuel 49 ST Portable Generator works amazingly well. We have power outages a lot where we live, especially in winter with all the rainstorms, so this has already come in handy a few times. It's a big generator and will work to power your essentials, but not so big you that it's ridiculously hard to get out of storage and get started. It's a pull start which is easy to use. I do wish it had a push start option as...

Better safe than sorry!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generac generator is perfect for our needs and I'm glad we have it! Fortunately, we have not had to run it for an extended period of time since receiving; however, test runs have been successful and it seems like it will work efficiently and as expected for when we need it to run for hours. The generator came on a pallet and was packaged well. It is HEAVY without the wheels and handles. About 170 lbs I believe. So you'll want at least two...

Awesome well built generator!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an awesome generator!! Just the quality of it is immensely high quality. It is definitely heavy, it did take 3 people to get it up stairs. However, once the handle and wheels are installed it’s much easier to handle and move. The controls are nice and not too complex once you read the instructions. Its fantastic for camping!

Lifesaver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Down here in southeast Louisiana, you learn real quick that having a generator isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. I picked up the Generac GP5500E mainly for hurricane season, and let me tell you, it has already earned its keep. The electric start is a lifesaver when the power’s out and it’s hot, humid, and you’re trying to get things running fast. It fired right up with no fuss. It’s got plenty of power for what we need: fridge, freezer, a few...

Best essential generator for living in the south

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is honestly the best generator out there. It has all the essential features that a generator need, i live in the south so losing electric during the hurricane seasons is nothing new. The size is decent for an essential generator, not to mention its outstanding performance that help my refrigerator, can charge my electric car, microwave during the time of losing power. The design feature is phenomenal for its safety features. I highly recom...
