    • They put a car engine in this thing!
Style: 8000-Watt + Electric Start + EFI Pattern Name: Generator
I love this generac generator, it puts out a lot of power, it's easy to start, it's fuel injected so it runs smoother and more reliably, but there are some cons to this generator and they go as follows: Pros: Lots of power, easy to start using a key ignition, it's fuel injected so it's definitely more fuel efficient than a traditional carbureted generator, it puts out clean power compared directly to the carbureted model that's similar, it responds to power demand quickly and smoothly. Cons: it's really loud same noise output as a carbureted model, it weighs 260 Lbs dry, 300 Lbs with a full fuel tank so you won't be loading and unloading this generator by yourself. Overall it's what I would expect from a large generator ***Update 3/9/23*** The generator is continuing to operate absolutely flawlessly, I have owned this generator for about a year now, I have not experienced this " parasitic electric draw during storage" or " failure to start" or have other electrical starting issues. Mine came with a perfect battery right out of the gate, and I follow the storage and maintenance instructions, I'm noticing that a lot of the negative reviews about the generator not wanting to start, are because they are not reading the owner's manual which tells you that if you're going to store this generator for longer than a few days without running it then you should keep the electric battery charger plugged into the front of the generator to both maintain the battery and the electrical systems of the generator. It includes a charger for this purpose. Anyway, I have experienced absolutely zero issues with this generator, it's on running hour 935. ***UPDATE7/11/23*** Running hour 1597.6, still no problems, replaced the spark plug for the first time, this wasn't necessary, as the plug was still good, but an ounce of preventative maintenance is worth a pound of longevity. Left the generator off the battery maintainer for over 3 months while it was in storage, and when I pulled it out, and gassed it up, with a couple of primes to get the gas flowing, it started right up. Generac must have made some defective units as I still have yet to experience this parasitic electrical draw that others describe, these must be older units, as the reviews are older, so I think Generac fixed the issue with the current model. Go Generac, Thanks for the workhorse powerhouse! ***UPDATE 12/3/23*** I haven't had to use this generator for my company much, and my bud who's off gridding, just had his generator quit, so I let him barrow this machine, and with making him provide receipts to prove maintenance of my unit like oil changes, filter cleanings, and occasional fuel injector cleaning like Gumm-out added to the tank, he just purchased a much larger generator for his tiny home, and gave this unit back to me. He used this as his main power source for almost 6 months while he saved up to purchase a new unit and batteries and solar panels. It has well over 6000 hours on it now, AND IT STILL STARTS AND OPERATES LIKE NEW. GENERAC PUT A MINI CAR ENGINE IN THIS THING. My bud told me just how reliable this thing was for him and told me he is now forever sold on Generac! Like I said before about maintenance and following the owners manual, and an ounce of preventative maintenance is worth a pound of longevity, but also Generac for making a generator so powerful and also so reliable and so well built, it handled the Arizona summer (in the middle of the desert) like a beast. If you need a generator for your Constuction site, or you use a generator often for your work or recreation, or if your an off-gridder and need that absolute can-not-fail-you generator that puts your mind at ease to own and operate, buy this one. @8KW it's enough to do just about anything. I still can't say this enough. THANK YOU! ... show more

    • It came with all parts, undamaged, and started right up, I like it!
Style: 8000-Watt + Electric Start (Discontinued) Pattern Name: Generator
I ordered the Generac GP8000E 8,000-Watt Gas-Powered Portable Generator - Electric Start, CO-Sense to replace a manual start generator that my 92 year old father in law wasn't able to start any more. It took about an hour to unbox and assemble using simple hand tools. I filled it with the supplied oil, put in a couple of gallons of rec fuel, pushed the button and it fired right up. I plugged a couple of fans into the 120v receptacles and ran it for 30 minutes with the light load on it. I'm having a manual transfer switch put in and will test under a real load after that. I'm impressed with the build quality of this generator compared to others in the same price range. The quality of the metal frame and handle is much better than most I've seen. The powder coat is nice. Switches and receptacles are laid out well. No trouble plugging in the 30A cord because the tire is in the way as they sometimes are. It has an hour meter to help keep up with maintenance. Big fuel tank with gauge on top, and large fill opening to make fueling easier. What sealed the deal for me on this generator is there are several Generac service centers within 10 miles of me. Most of the other generators I checked on had few to no service centers within 50 miles. I'm also told that there is no problem getting parts for repairs. I will update this review after I test it with a bigger load and get a few hours on it. ... show more

    • Second 7500 Watt Portable Generator
Style: 7500-Watt + Dual Fuel + COsense Pattern Name: Generator
I purchased a Cat RP7500E 2-years ago. It came damaged in shipping, took 3-months to get repaired. Cat customer service couldn't find anyone who could fix it. I finally found someone 2hrs away through my local Caterpillar dealer. A year later, the float stuck open and drained the fuel tank into the crankcase. (No petcock) Luckily I caught it in time and fixed it (installed a petcock, new carb and flushed the crankcase) . This time I purchased the Generac Powerrush GP7500E from Amazon. It came on time, well packed and undamaged. "Assembly" was minor and simple, it even came with it's own tool kit. I filled it with the provided oil, put Gas in the tank and it fired right up and ran like a top for 4-hours. (Test run) The build quality is far superior to my Cat. It HAS a petcock so I can run the fuel out of carburetor before I shut it off. It comes Propane ready. And it's noticeably quieter than my Cat. Oh yeah... and 2-years later it was $200.00 cheaper than my Cat. Pick your wattage needs and get a Generac Powerrush! ... show more

    • Loud, good run time, not perfect
Style: 5000-Watt + Electric Start Pattern Name: Generator
This generator is significantly louder than the equivalent power gas generator. It is also about as large as a 10k gas generator. However, it's diesel, which is convenient for some uses, and it has a large tank. It's over 24 hours of run time at near full load. I was not able to start this generator with the recoil starter and I am a reasonably strong male. I am not convinced that it can be done; I think it's just to shut the valves for long term storage (see manual). Also it doesn't come with wheels so you have to buy a portability kit and it doesn't come with a battery which is necessary, even if you could pull start it, for it to run. This powered my equipment (dehumidifiers) with no issues after a few hundred hours. There is no idle down feature; it runs at 3600 rpm at all times and is about the same loudness at all loads. This generator is quite expensive for what it is, but if you need diesel or long run times (I need both) than its worth the price. ... show more

Arrived in good order. Matched description/ reviews. Only issue was dead battery. But fired with one pull! Battery charged by next day! A bit noisy, but that is only complaint.!
