Great first impression. Picked up my new generator two days ago follow the instruction manual and had it running then 10 minutes of having at home. The only possible problem Maria that I see is the choke lever was made entirely of plastic but see how durable it actually with regular use. Great price compared to other generals of similar capacity.

Purchased generator during Tropical Storm Barry, and fortunately did not need to use it. Generator is well-built and heavy. Two people should lift generator, or slide it on to a small wheeled cart from vehicle and assemble. Generator has an attractive paint job, good combination of plugs and features, and receptacles and controls are in convenient locations. Directions for assembly did not provide a key for location of specific nuts and bolts, so had to use trial and error to sort out bag of fasteners, were inaccurate for installation of handle, and omitted guidance for the initial fill quantity of oil.

Opened the box and found everything well protected. As I pulled everything out, I was looking for the op's manual so as to identify parts. Luckily, everything was there. The assembly instructions are short and to the point - perfect. Added the oil and a little gas for a test run. First pull and it started right up. The one feature I can really appreciate is the “low oil shutdown.” When you go through seven to ten days without power due to hurricane damage, the last thing you need is a burned up generator. Overall I'm satisfied.

We bought our Generac just before hurricane Florence. It was much quieter than we expected and powered everything we needed, and then some, during the power outage. It powered our freezer, refrigerator, 2 televisions, DVD player, coffee maker, table lamps, and also charged our phones and laptops. We were really surprised at how little fuel it used too. It ran all of the above for 12 hours before needing to be refueled. We were expecting only 9 or 10 hours at best. We cannot recommend this generator enough. It started on the first pull every time and not even a full pull. It made an uncomfortable situation so much more bearable. We are proud to say that our generator is a GENERAC.

Bought this generator because of hurricane Irma power outage. Started right up out of the box. Powered refrigerator, lights and fans which brought relief and comfort during this otherwise difficult time. A very good solid product. Brings a sense of security knowing I have this ready to go if and when needed again.
