well...........
I've had this generator for 2 years. It got a pretty good workout after hurricane irma hit.Ran like a champ. It has 77 hrs on it and the fuel gauge has started to leak. I contacted generac to order a new one and was told it was on backorder and that they have no idea when it will be available. Which is nice....... $8 part holding up $800 generator. Guess i'll have to do a little redneck engineering on it to stop the leak since generac didn't offer up any solutions. No more generacs for me.

Only owned 11 months and test run only...
Hello Folks,
I love the premise of the Generac easy dial operate, BUT I seemingly have run into a problem starting after my 11 month test! Fresh Gas and about 30-40 pulls without even a Pop?
Though perhaps that I had missed a step but after watching this video I realized that I did not... Any Clue as to what may be wrong?
Please advise and Thanks Much,
Mike...

Exceptionally easy to operate!
Product overall was a great buy. Now the only reason I did not rate it with five stars is because I could not seem to find anything in the owners manual that talked about a Break-in period. Coming from a power generation background you know it’s extremely important to do a proper break-in, unless these are broke in at the factory before sale I could be wrong but I recommend that Generac adds something into the set-up criteria along with some extra oil for the matter. Finally the generator worked flawlessly during this hurricane season for I was without power for 4 days straight. It is a little on the noisy side, so I would also recommend a better muffling system on the exhaust. Overall great purchase

Top quality product with great features.
Bought after Hurricane Florence when my older generator broke down. Easy to operate and fulfilled all my needs.

Would buy again
Bought this for a hurracaine that did not come in 2017 put up without even taking out of box ,fast forward to hurracaine Michael in 2018, got out box day before it hit put oil in it ethanol free gas pulled 3 times, cranked off ,4 days without power never missed a beat, like the handle and wheels, power dial is cool idea, makes it a little aggravating for people who needs to run gas out carb and drain tank for storage till next hurracaine, needs little improvement in that area ,a way to shut fuel off and run out of carb and empty tank

Great quality product
Bought prior to Hurricane Michael. Our home never lost power so we carried it to my wife's mother's house which was without power about a hundred miles from us. We unboxed it and installed the wheels and pull handle which was very easy. Filled it with gas, turned dial to choke pulled once and engine fired right up! Was able to get my wife's 89 year old mother temporary power for her house and well pump. I am very impressed with Generac generators.
