Description

The Generac GP18000EFI is Generac's highest-wattage portable generator, delivering 18,000 running watts and 22,500 starting watts for whole-home backup power, demanding jobsite operations, and emergency preparedness. When an outage strikes, it provides the capacity to run central air conditioning, well pumps, refrigerators, freezers, lighting, and critical appliances at the same time. Clean power for every device you own. TruePower Technology holds total harmonic distortion below 5%, producing the clean, stable output required to safely operate sensitive electronics — including home office equipment, entertainment systems, and powered medical devices — right alongside heavy-duty loads. This makes the GP18000EFI a reliable power solution for modern households that depend on electronics as much as appliances. An engine built around fuel efficiency. The 816cc G-Force OHVI engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) continuously adjusts fuel delivery to match actual load demand. The result is reduced fuel consumption and up to 9 hours of runtime at 50% load from the 14.2-gallon steel tank. An integrated fuel gauge removes guesswork, and an hour meter with maintenance resets helps protect the engine long-term. Always-on CO protection. COsense Technology monitors carbon monoxide levels throughout operation and triggers an automatic shutoff the moment dangerous concentrations are detected. A visual alert activates simultaneously. No manual monitoring is required — protection is built in and always active. The GP18000EFI is compatible with the Generac HomeLink Manual Transfer Switch for whole-home backup capability. The 120/240V 50A receptacle supports RV connections, and all seven outlets are circuit- breaker protected for added safety under load. The push-button electric start requires no manual priming — the battery ships in the box.

  • Excellent
Style: 19,300 Starting Watts
Used daily for our business It's loud but easy to use. We use non-ethenol fuel in it & change the oil before the recommended & have had no issues. Have almost 500hrs on it. Quality is good, runs well. I wish it were cheaper, but compared to others it's in the money. We had a duramax prior & it didn't run well & ended up frying our equipment. This one is OK for electronics. Would recommend ... show more

  • Excellent generator for a very good price!
Style: 22,500 Starting Watts
This is a excellent generator that can handle most applications and it’s relatively simple to use fairly low noise levels

  • Won't even start
Style: 19,300 Starting Watts
I had a bad experience with Amazon after buying this. The first machine that was delivered had a massive dent in the fuel tank where it had clearly been dropped onto the ground from a height. I only found that out after unboxing (something that takes an hour because it's in a crate). I contacted Amazon who did arrange to have it replaced. When the new one arrived, it won't even start. There is something fundamentally wrong with it - the battery is good, it has correct fuel, etc. but the starter motor won't turn over. The local dealer don't know what is wrong with it and Generac are no help at all. ... show more

  • Parts Missing
Style: 19,300 Starting Watts
I like the build quality. I'm currently breaking in the generator, runs great. Made in USA definitely a plus. Value for the money spent is good compared to overseas models. The issue is that the axle for the wheel kit is missing from the wheel kit box. You'd expect better quality checking before shipping. Currently have been on hold w/ Generac support 25 min. I got a very nice girl to help me with this issue, so we'll see how good the support is. I'm getting the axle @ N/C under warranty. The drag is the 7-10 business days for shipping because Generac doesn't expedite shipping. UPDATE: Generac did UPS me an axle kinda quick, so kudos to them for that. Generator is running fine so far for 10hrs on brake in, only glitch was having to reset spark plug gap to proper .030 as it started to sputter a little. Spark plugs are gapped wrong from factory @ .018. I'm a auto tech so not a big deal. So far I would recommend this unit. It is well built, not bad on fuel so far & I'm picky. Also I like the fact it has AVR instead of capacitor regulation. Better for electronics. ... show more

Does not meet expectation, serious manufacture equipment defects and warranty process experience terrible so far. Fuel tank collapsed under vacuum after equipment ran for 6hrs. There is no adjustable feature to control fuel tank ventilation meaning this issue can only be caused by manufacture equipment defects. ... show more
