Rated 3 out of 5 by from Generator helps in power outages We’ve had our generator about a year and it came on perfectly during power outages. It is a bit loud but I’d prefer that to no electric. However, less than a year in and the red light came on. We can’t reach our local dealer despite leaving several messages. After paying $10K you’d think we’d have better customer service, and that it would last more than a year before having trouble.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Pressure Valve Problem I bought a new Generac RXSW200A3 and it immediately started having a problem where it would red light and Er out with OVERCRANK. After several service calls I found out that the pressure valve is defective from the factory. You can clear it by removing the battery side panel and release the pressure valve, bottom right, manually, GENERAC is aware of the faulty part but so far nothing has been done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet and Reliable Just had the Generac 60kw standby generator installed. We had another brand with 1/3 the output at our previous home. The difference in the quality of the system is evident just looking at it with the covers off. We haven't had a power failed event yet but am confident in the system and workmanship of our installer.
