I'm an electrical contractor and I use my GP3250 frequently. Its light enough to lift in and out of my truck, runs very well and is quiet. Everything I was looking for in a generator and more.
purchased as back up for sump and fridge did not need for backup as of yet however tested it easy assembly looks good easy to manuver starts easy taught wife how to handle it if i was not around, no prob run once a week for 1/2 hr or store it properly
This unit runs much better than an older GENERAC product that I own & still have lots of trouble with. This unit: Bolts for mounting the front foot rest were full of paint & very hard to start. Other than that, assembly was fine. After adding the enclosed oil & your own gas there were no problems & unit started & ran fine. Much less vibration than the previous older unit, & does not "walk around". Worked great for our last 2 day power outage.
Easy to assemble, and started right out of the box. Great buy, I bought for hurricane season, just hope I won't need it.
Bought last year. Starter cord beginning to fray, might be due to the location which is behind the frame/cage, which makes it mildly awkward for starting. Starts up easily, runs great. Use a heavy duty cord to run high power items like a worm drive or chop saws, other wise with a smaller dia. cord it may trip the breaker. At my cabin will run a 240v well, 110v shop vacuum & LED lights at the same time without any issues. Good on gas too.
Generator comes in handy when power goes out but only operates fridge, freezer, maybe a light or two - but that's all that's needed. Completely shocked when I needed it most to find that the pull rope broke. It's a fiber pull rope! Not sure why on earth fiber was used instead of nylon. Users need long term reliability.
Ran GP3250 for over 80hrs.After hurricane Sandy.Able to run Refridge/freezer,gas furnace,2 small tv's,3 lamps with low watt LED bulbs in them.Also charged cell phones & used computer,not all at once but it did work out. I used multi outlet surge protectors to distribute power.No power for 8 days.Ran gen. on & off for 8 to 12hrs. a day.Not an ideal set up,but it worked.If I didn't have the GP3250 I would have had to leave my home.
I bought this GP 3250 to power some appliances (fridge, freezer) during storm outage. The package is great, the generator starts every time but the main problem is that I can't power a 1500W portable heater, even when this is the only appliances plugged in. The "culprit", the 14A breaker that keep tripping... I wasted 600 Can $ for nothing that's not what I would call a great customer experience.
After 22 months of owning this unit, and about 10 total hours of operation, my generator threw a rod spewing oil and metal parts onto my driveway. I had to drive 20 miles to a shop that would work with Generac's warranty program. (The four shops closer had stopped participating in the program due to low compensation for their work.) Just took it in today, we will see how it all works out. While is was operational, the unit provided power just as expected. Engine had oil (I checked before starting it the final time) and it has a low oil shutdown feature, so even if I hadn't checked, it should never fail due to low oil... Unless it is a one-time use feature.
I recently bought this to supplement a jobsite, since all i had was a honda 2000 invertor, however, the generac wont even run basic tools without tripping the breaker, it wont even run a small trim compressor that the honda does, the honda 2000 out performs this piece, thanks for wasting my money generac i cant believe this is still a problem after reading the same posts from 5 yrs ago
