Ratings & Reviews for Generac 50 State 8250 Starting / 6700 Running Watt Gas and Propane Dual fuel Portable Generator

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...

Lower noise level than other generator and simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to assemble and to wheel around. Weighted over 200 lbs so it was a challenge to move the whole box. Works great and low noise. Full tank can go about 10 hrs of run time and I’m happy with that. Easy plug in and use.

Good in a pinch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable generator will work in a pinch if there is a power outage. It’s easy to use, easy to move, and has enough output to power most appliances. Buyers should understand that generator won’t be able to power multiple major appliances, but you can power a refrigerator or freezer just fine! The GP5500 runs on unleaded gasoline and has a run time of about 10hrs. It was easy to assemble and took about 20mins to put on the handle, wheels, ...

I’m sold on this generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a generator that’s strong, reliable, and not hard to figure out, the Generac GP5500 is a great choice. I was scared of this generator at first.  I am glad to have it for power outages and outdoor use, and it really delivered.  With a bit of help I was able to get it up and running.  Let’s talk about the pros and cons and why it may be a good choice for you.  Pros     •    Plenty of power for the essentials — fridge, freezer, lights,...

Great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already knew something about this brand; I know it's one of the best brands for power generators, and it certainly is. It's been a huge help, as it can even power a refrigerator and many other things at the same time. As is well known, they are very noisy, but that's the least of our worries since there's no electricity. And we shouldn't put it near the house; it should be placed further away for everyone's safety, especially if it's used at ...

Home / company owner

Terrible motor blew in less than 2 months! Warranty voided terrible generator even worse the fake warranty! Complete disappointing experience 😪

needless waste of my time to resolve warranty issu

Originally purchased unit from a general distributor. The product did not work as it should. Spent months trying to get that resolved. The process was gruesome and useless. Finally after months & hours of my time a resolution was determined to replace the unit with a new one. This unit appears to perform as advertised and expected. So long story short, replacement made but after months of aggravation. Not what I ever bargained for.

FANTASTIC

Had to put on a bigger battery because I'm running it on natural gas

Ok

Great product opoooooooopppooooooopppppooooooooopo

Love the battery start feature and built-in Charge

We have not had a chance to use the new generator for fortunately, but winter is coming. We feel so sure that we picked the best generator on the market and our very secure in the knowledge that it will take care of us when we need it.

Great for an emergency

Although I only bought the generator a couple of months ago and have tested it once every month it seems to be fine . I haven't had an opportunity to use it yet for an emergency.

Great features.

I bought this one, it served me well during these power outages they have here in Tennessee. Powered my fridge, two bedrooms ( t/v's and boxes), electric fire places. Filled it up at night, it would run all night. (8+ hours). It served me well. I have the whole house one now.

Will recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to maintain, weight is moderate & easy to assemble. The output is great & seems durable. Will recommend 4 anyone looking to get a generator.

Great generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got this Generac Power Systems GP5500 Single Fuel 50 ST generator and am very pleased with it so far. It is very easy to operate, especially with turning it on. It provides very reliable power throughout the time that I had it on. It also is easy to store as it’s not too big.

Very fancy!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you live somewhere that has power outages or you are an avid camper, this generator is an amazing, high-end option. Super easy instructions and works great.

Dependable generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took our new generator to deer camp this weekend and wow what an incredible generator. It is the perfect size for what we needed. Easy to move around and transport, not overly heavy. Is a dependable unit and had no issues at all. Easy to install parts for wheels, handle and legs. My 10yr old put it all together and filled it with the supplied oil. I highly recommend a generac system for all your needs. Generac even makes whole home systems for ...

Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator has been an absolute game-changer for our family. We used for cooking during camping trips , also at our house since we have some powers outrages lately. My husband was so excited when he found out it's propane-powered - no need to lug around extra gas cans. Setting up was easy enough and is also light to carry and not super loudly. We definitely recommend and the price is another great point.
