    • Nice Generator

Arrived a day late but was in good shape and works perfect, very good product.. AL

    • Very happy - money well spent.
Pattern Name: Generator Style: 22kW + 200-Amp Switch
I feel sorry for those who received damaged/dented products, so I feel lucky that my unit arrived undamaged and in perfect condition. Having said that, I see how a flimsy layer of cardboard sheet attached to the base pallet may not provide much protection during shipping. Perhaps Generac should consider investing another $25 for a fully framed out protection. Speaking of delivery, my generator arrived 90 minutes later of the delivery window's upper limit. Since it was a Saturday, there was no-one available to talk to. Phone calls went to voicemail or calling the corporate number message was "mailbox full". Keep that in mind when you schedule delivery outside of normail business hours M-F. Prepare to buy a battery (about $60) and if you live in cold climate, a cold weather kit (around $200) to keep your battery and oild filter warm during winter. None of these are included. Currently working on hooking up the unit. Already ran the gas line and the wires to the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATF). I am giving a 5 star review in anticipation of everything working out as expected. Should something not, I will come back and update my review. 30 day update: We had a 1 hr unexpecred power outage. The generator kicked off and ran just fine. Automatically turned off once the power came back on. Very happy customer. 60 day update: Additional 2 power outages, each lasting about 8 hours. Generator worked flawlessly. Fired up in 10 seconds after the outage, ran smoothly providing electricity to the entire house and turned off automatically after utility power came back on. VERY HAPPY - money well spent. ... show more

So far the unit is installed and working properly. Waiting for the next power outage to confirm the system is working properly.

    • It is controlled by a computer and NOT RELIABLE.
Pattern Name: Generator Style: 22kW + 200-Amp Switch
I have owned a number of whole house Generators both diesel and propane that were reliable. If you want Reliability this is NOT IT. WHY? It has an onboard COMPUTER! It will NOT Run without the Computer. It WILL NOT START UNLESS IT IS ON Wi-Fi. Think EMP or Power Surge, either will knock out the fragile COMPUTER. Oh, they do sell a surge protector, but it won't protect the COMPUTER from lightning. Generac advertises you can monitor it from your phone. TRUE if you pay $70.00 a year for the app. The app wants to sell you filters and parts. If you want a generator for your mountain cabin or hunting camp you MUST have Wi-Fi to start it. If you want something reliable this is NOT it. This Generator with a COMPUTER was designed as a 7th grade science project that did not get honorable mention. Generac has lost its way. ... show more

Was surprised at how quiet it runs. It is also able to run our central A/C, water heater and stove all at the same time along with most of the house. I highly recommend using a certified Generac installer to do the installation. They handled getting all of the permits & inspections needed for the installation. The Generac app was also helpful in allowing to monitor the status and to schedule weekly exercises for the generator to keep it in top running condition year round. ... show more

    • Great Purchase - If you are thinking about it do it!!
Pattern Name: Generator Style: 24kW + 200-Amp Switch
Started out not so good - shipping company called me the morning of the delivery and told me that the unit was too damaged to deliver. I did appreciate that being done before delivery and having to go through the order process again. Order was placed again and another shipping company delivered with no damage or issues. They even placed the pallet in my garage. Other shipping vendors wanted to charge a whole lot extra to place anywhere besides the street. Amazon did give me a $50 credit. Once installed, the unit has worked flawlessly and is a huge sigh of relief for this homeowner who lives on the Gulf Coast. Buy the unit separately and DIY an install or find Ana contractor who will give you an install only price. You will save thousands as opposed to buying from one of those huge generator outfits. ... show more
