Great price. Easy to use. Great for homeowner
I had to purchase a generator right after Hurricane Irene visited my county. My neighbor had recommended the generac 5000 and after calling several places and most of those places gouging the prices, I was able to find this generator for around 600 bucks. Let me tell you, i have never owned a generator nor have I a clue on how to use one. the directions for using this was so simple,and it even included a chart to tell you an approximate wattage of all aplliances so you got an understanding of how much power you were actually going to use. I wish I would have bought this one years ago. My cousin services generators and he said as long as you stabilize the fuel and start it every month when not in use, this generator will last you al long long time. I used it for a week straight, only turning it off to refuel. It worked Flawlessly. Don't hesitate to buy this model. I live in a single family ranch home. It powered my fridge, my freezer, my cable, my lamps, and a fan. What a lifesaver.

Starts very easy and easy to use.
I bought this for a home backup and it was used over three days without any issues. Noise from exhaust is very acceptable.

Easy to use, easy to store, easy to move!
Should have had my Generac GP5000 for Hurricane Irene! Now I am prepared. My Generac is very easy to move around. Makes for easy storage. Very convenient to start it up once a month. Starts with no problem. For my situation, it is the perfect size to get my family through the next hurricane or ice storm.

Very nice generator - good value - user friendly - but very noisy!
I purchased this generator for use in home power outages, and it has performed perfectly.
It is easy to start and it runs smoothly.
My only criticism is that it is very noisy!
So noisy, that running it all night; other than in a loosely populated residential area; might lead to neighbors voicing complaints.
As this model generator is sold as a portable type, intended for use with recreation vehicles and for emergency home use; it should definitely be equipped with a much quieter muffler!
I plan to construct an insulated, and baffled, semi enclosure, in an effort to suppress the excessively loud engine exhaust noise.
Other than this one flaw; I am completely satisfied with this generator and it would otherwise; merit five stars.
