Ratings & Reviews for Generac GP (49 State) 2500 Starting / 2200 Running Watt Gasoline Single Fuel Portable Generator

What a mess

Opened box to a oil covered generator even though it was shipped with no oil. The oil filler cap was not installed. Spent the next Three hours washing and cleaning up. Can't say how it works yet. I will keep my fingers crossed on that.

Great portable power

This generator is good for power when plugs are to far away for an extension cord.

Tickled pink!! This generator is awesome!!

Just bought this generator and I am so pleased. It is exactly as described. Runs my whole camper 13,500 BTU AC all lights etc. Runs nice and quiet. For the money I haven't seen a better product on the market. Comes with all you need to get started including a funnel to put the oil in the generator. I invited my neighbor over to check out my new generator for camping and he's already left to go order one online like I did. I'll come back and update this review after a few months of use and let yo...

Wouldn’t shut off

Brand new generac 3300i right out of the box put gas and oil in it started right up but when I turn the dail to off it keeps running very disappointed hope my warranty pays for this or you’ll hear more reviews

Bought the Generac 33000i and Love IT!

The Generac is amazing unit and brand. It is quiet, easy to start easy to use and incredibly efficient. The Generac is everything you want and need in a household generator, infact it is a far better value than the Honda and is feature for feature as good or better. This model can handle anything a house needs including washer, dryer, refrigerator etc. I am extremely happy with Generac and you will be too!

GREAT PORTABLE

GREAT PRODUCT THIS IS MY THIRD GENERAC PRODUCT ALL HAVE BEEN GREAT WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER STANDBY GENERAC SOON

Very Nice

I purchased a GP3000i I never had a portable generator I had a big roll around one and was hard to start. The GP3000i was easy to setup and started first pull. I can't believe how quiet it is and seems like it is good quality. I would definitely recommend this generator.

Lasted 3 years

I estimate I got a little over 1200 hours of use before the 120V port to the inverter fried rendering the otherwise perfectly running and maintained generator useless and shortened my already expensive camping trip. When I explained the issue to customer service, I was told I needed the control panel so I ordered it. While waiting a month for that part ($150) ordered an identical unit as my backup thinking running in parallel could be handy at some point. The control panel came and I found out i...

Awesome generator

Bought it to use for my Maple Sugaring operation works great every time for everything. I would definitely buy another one.

This is quiet and very mobile.

I am really looking forward to using this summer at the race track!

Runs good, good value, but hard to start- found workaround

I bought the GP2500i new a the beginning of December 2021 to provide some backup power if the electricity went out. I wasn't looking for a home backup- just to charge cellphones, led lights, run a single 1500W heater, power the fridge or freezer now and then to keep things from spoiling. From the unit's initial start-up, it took 5+ pulls to get it started. Successive starts were the same. 8-10 pulls to get it to start. Fresh fuel, 90+ Octane, no difference. From other reviewers on other web...

Began positive

I have had several carb issues. I worked where we sold Generac generators, and always spoke highly of them. I owned a GP5500 prior w/ few problems. I always kept ethanol free gas or gas w/ Stabil in my IQ3500 . Which purchased 9/2019. I had one carb replacement a year ago ,after a month wait for parts from Generac. It would start but not run and the ECO setting would shutter and shut the engine off. Now it is repeating problems, after only being run on ethanol gas for less than 1 hour. We used ...

Damage

Great generator packing sucks side of the unit slightly crushed but it runs great! Looks like fedex droped it or just kicked it around

enough power,not to heavy,quiet,

bought this one after seeing a review on youtube.was impressed with the demo from campers and working men.

Ease of use

Wow, very simple to use. Always wanted one, but needed one now for ice fishing house. Easy manual, easy oil fill and WOW first pull. Super quiet.

I like the 30 amp for RV

The only reason I gave low stars is. My unit is not starting properly. I must use choke all the time to get it started. If someone from Generac could help I would apricate it.

Great Generator - a bit heavy

I love this generator. Powerful and quiet. The only downside is weight: 100 pounds. I wish there was some sort of wheel accessory for it to make it easier to move around.

Great generator

I bought this last night at mills fleet farm due to the outage from windstorms in our area. Utility keeps pushing back power back on time and date. As these outages are becoming more common, I purchased this for these emergencies. Started first pull after removing from box and adding fuel and oil. Unit is fairly quiet. Ran my freezers and refrigerators, tv overnight. Was surprised, unit ran longer than anticipated at about 8.5 hrs. Very pleased. So much so, that next bring I will be installing a...

Super impressed at first but then...

I bought this generator to run my cab-over camper on various trips throughout the year. I had a 2K watt previously and it just wasn't enough to handle the microwave and other accessories, so I upgraded to the Generac 3K watt and at first was impressed at how quiet it was and how it seemed to handle all my accessories fairly easy ripening through the 30amp RV outlet, but then...on a recent trip I decided to camp in a tent shelter and use the generator to run a 1500 watt space heater to keep warm ...

Trouble starting generator

Recently purchased GP2500 generator. Add the oil and fuel as stated in start up guide. The generator fired right up and used it for about 20 minutes running an electric trimmer. Stored it in my shop for month. I got it out last week added fuel. Now it won't start, checked the oil level. Still won't start up. Do you have any things to try before I find an authorized dealer that does repairs.
