My wife and I bought our Generac about 4 months ago due to all the power outages happening . I am so glad we did it has been the best investment for us to help power the house when the electricity goes off

Works fine, but super-loud

Would Recommend

In reality, I only used this for about 20 minutes when the power came back on. This replaces a very old generator that had half the power. Aside from it working well, I can certainly say this generator is deafeningly-loud. Keeping it outside means you typically won't be bothered by it, but it makes you wonder if they could have improved the muffler.

Weston Trawick's guys are awesome!

Bought my Generac from Weston Trawick and they set me up and tested it. 2 days later power went out for 6 hours. Cranked right up! Thank you, Weston Trawick,!

Piece of mind

I bought the generator a couple of months ago to prepare for any power outage and haven’t had to use it yet. It’s great knowing we are prepared for an issue that WILL occur.

Brought it home Installed proper gas and oil Tried to start it it started for a few seconds so I called Generac They told me to take it to be serviced at MacDaddy's Small engine repair in Land O lakes.

Terrible services for defective products

Would Not Recommend

Unit was defected. No output power. None of authorized shop recommend can fix it. Could not refund to due to crazy FleetFarm policy. Running around for 2 weeks trying to get it fix. Loss $20 to drain gas not cover by warranty. Terrible experience. Don't recommend it.

Poor Warranty Assistance

Purchased this portable generator, had a problem with it after 15 min. of running.. Called for assistance and No One would come to my house to repair it. They only would come if it was a standby generator. I like Generac Products but my was 450 pounds and I could not service it myself. Plus it was under warranty.

Power on demand!

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the GP9500 Tri Fuel Generator. This purchase will insure emergency power when the need presents itself.

Great Features

I bought the GP8000E to replace my Honda 7000 that was over 25 years old. The setup was relatively straight forward except for attaching the battery cables. When I unclipped the zip tie holding the battery leads for shipping, I didnt notice that the power connector for the starter had become disconnected, probably when I cut the zip tie. I called Generac Support as the electric start was not working and they had me check all the connections including the power connector for the starter. I c...

Great, dependable product

Would Recommend

Purchased to replace a 12 year old Generac 6500 that I use for emergency power. As I live along the Gulf Coast it doesn’t take a hurricane for us to loose power. Ran 8 days on generator power Zeta and the ol’ Generac didn’t miss a beat. After quick final assembly, oil and fuel this new unit fired up on the second pull. Looking forward to not having to concern myself about power loss for another 13 years!
