    • Ultra high quality, rugged with commerial features
I own a 8500 watt typical portable Generac gas generator as well as a 24KW regulated Alturdyne diesel generator but needed something that could run non-stop overnight and longer to just keep a basic load going for refrigeration and light. I have found the quality of this 5000 watt Generac with a YanMar diesel engine to be exquisite. I had read in many of the reviews how loud to the point of being obnoxious it was more suited to constructions sites. Allow me to share two secrets; first purchase the generator external silencer muffler kit available on Amazon and buy yourself a 30 x 40" horse pad from TSC. Out the pad on the ground or even concrete and then fit the exhaust, which is designed to be put through and exterior wall utilizing an included mounting plate. The high density horse pad muffles the loud vibration from the engine and the silencer exhaust is so quite I have put it directly to my ear and barely hear a hissing sound, no noise at all. I have shown my setup to a friend in the last week and now he is buying one as well. Conversely, if you are going to take this and put in on a concrete slab and forget it, the drone is capable of drivng you insane. ... show more

    • Do not purchase this generator!
I purchased the generator in June of 2018 from CPO Outlets. It has been in the repair shop twice since the purchase for a total of 6 months. It is still in the repair shop as I write. Generac has terrible customer service, they keep giving the repair shop ideas about how to repair the generator, but none have been successful as yet. The generator is warrantied for 2000 hours. The first time it went to the shop it had 500 hours, the second time 1200 hours. The first time it went in for repairs was when the generator separated from the diesel engine, the bolts had not been properly torqued. When it separated it sheared metal from the impellers and embedded them in the wall next to the generator. The second time the generator quit producing any wattage at all and that's how it sits. When it first arrived and I unpackaged the generator and looked it over the first thing I noticed was that the hose connectors were of different types. That only made sense if they ran out of one style and field engineered the rest to get it out the door. I will be asking for a refund with my next phone call. I will update this review when the dust settles. ... show more

    • There are no repair stations
Diesel engine is great. Power generator is Generac. Lousy warranty. Failed to deliver power after 860 hours. No warranty stations. Only recorded voice. No where to take if for repair. Will never buy another Generac.

    • It runs
When Harvey came through South Texas, my 5700 watt McCullah wouldn't start. Got the little 3500 watt Champion out and had that going, it only puts out 110volts though. Ordered the Generac 6864. It was delivered on time, power had been restored by the time it got there though, big thank you to GVEC. I have hooked it up and did a test run using the 240 volt/30amp outlet through my interlock on my main power box. We are rural and have a water well, this runs the well just fine as well as all the lights in the house, all LED, and all ceiling fans. It did not like our 5 ton central ac unit, wasn't expecting it to run that and it didn't. Microwave worked well, two burners on the electric range are doable, that put the heaviest load on the generator, pulled the engine down, but it kept going. As for the generator itself, it is heavy, the wheel kit is needed with this unit if you plan to move it around. Pull start with the compression release is difficult, electric start works well. The battery is a lawn tractor 330 CCA battery. This has to be installed so the fuel cutoff system works, will not start at all without the battery, and battery is not included. Next is to build an enclosure to help quiet it down. All in all, I like the generator, will not have the issues that ethanol creates in gas gens anymore plus the longer run time will make it easier on my wife if she has to use it when I am not home. February 6, 2019 Since my initial review I have used the generator several times. My 5star review still stands ... show more

    • Solid unit.
So, a couple of things about this generator. It is a SERIOUS portable generator; it's big, heavy, holds a lot of fuel, runs a long time and makes lots of power. I immediately ordered a wheel kit for it and needed help getting it in and out of the back of my truck. It looks like it's going to be a good solid, basic generator. I like it; especially the Yanmar diesel motor. On the down side, it has a fuel cut-off solenoid that requires power to hold it open. So, while this unit has a pull starter and does not come with a battery, it will NOT run without a battery. Second, even with the battery installed, pull starting does not appear to be quite as straightforward as they make it sound. I followed the instructions exactly and pulled about 50 times to no avail, then finally pushed the electric start and it fired right up. Interesting to note, it seems to fire on about the 3rd revolution with the electric starter; the pull starter might pull through about two revolutions... Finally, and I knew this going in, these are not quiet motors; so be forewarned. Oh, and as others have mentioned, the "auto-throttle" is basically wide open. ... show more
