Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love all the features on this model. I know the generator works thanks to the weekly tests. My power used to go out all the time. It has not since I bought this. So thank you Generac!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is my second purchase and it has many new features. Recently purchased my second Generac getting a bigger unit for whole house power. The Generac unit I previously had was half the size of my new unit and had provided backup power on several occasions, the most was for 41 hours running uninterrupted. It has been the best investment for my home and an additional benefit was when I notified my insurance company of the installation they noted that I would get a credit on my policy for having the generator and that it would also add value to my home. IT WILL NEVER DISSAPOINT YOU!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product We LOVE our new whole house generator. I have oxygen machines that require electricity to charge. It gives us peace of mind to have the generator in event of power failure. We have had one power shortage since installation. It came on promptly, powered our house and used very little gas to run for about 4-5 hours. It is great! Also increases the value of our home. Love it and am so glad we purchased!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Product! I had a 22kW Generator installed, model: 7043-11. During the simulated power outage the generator come on after 5-6 seconds. We had our first schedule test run last Saturday afternoon and it ran perfectly. I feel confident that we will be protected during a storm. This model also comes with built in wifi and mobile link features!
