Excellent Choice
We lost power for 6 days and the Generac didn't miss a beat. It easily handled our heat ,well pump,sump pump ,refrigerator,TV and some house lighting. I would gladly recommend it to others.

Product worked flawlessly
In anticipation of hurricane Irene, I bought the GP5500. Luckily I did, we lost power for 3 days and the generator kept my sump pump, refrigerator and lights working. I have battery backup on my sump but it only lasts for 10 hours- the GP5500 really saved my basement from flooding and also a lot of potentially spoiled food in the fridge/freezer. I was nervous about the cost, but I would have to say it paid for itself instantly.

Exceeded my expectations
I bought the Generac GP 5500 based on a recommendation from my electrician. Purchased it at Power Place in Rockaway NJ and it runs and works great.. Great price, great value and does just what I need

Fuel Guage Leaks if tank is overfilled or unit is on unlevel ground
I won this unit in a raffle so I don't guess I can complain much. My previous Generator was a Coleman Powermate 5000ER so thats what im comparing to. I don't like the steel fuel tank it looks rather cheap especially the fuel guage which leaks fuel if the tank is too full. I guess thats why they tell you not to fill the tank up to the filler neck. The unit is also somewhat hard to start when cold and the choke rod feels as if its about to break when you try to push it in. once its running it handles a load quite well. The unit is heavy in comparison to other units of the same output which makes it a little difficult to load into a truck.

Does the job well
Have used on jobsite several times. Consistant, stable power. Easy set up. Have not yet had to use as home back up, but am confident that it will do the job.

The solution during a 5 day power outage
We purchased this generator before a hurricane that ultimately spared us any damage. Two months and 16" of snow later, it saved us when the power was out for five days. Started on the first pull, easily rolled it in and out of our garage, and powered all of our critical systems. This was a great purchase!

All that i could expect,very dependable.
Not a lot to say,the 5500 has started on the first pull every time,voltage is very stable. Setup was very easyand instructions are well written.Im absolutely sold on the 5500's quality and performance.
