Unboxed 'brand new' 2014 model
I purchased this unit at Lowes just before a 'big ice storm'. It was a year after the 2013 December ice storm shut down Ontario and Quebec. The 2014 storm never happened, but never got around to setting it up. I bought gas each year and had all the accesories. Anyway, cleaned out the garage today, cause nothing else to do in lockdown. Unboxed, put it together. Easy instructions, but not sure the "included tool" was for, it didnt fit any of the bolts/nuts. First pull primed it, Second pull ...vroom. Very nice. My hour meter didnt seem to work. Not sure if that's got a hidden battery or something??? Anyway overall impressed and look forward to be ready for anything. Will run it once a month or so to keep it ready.

Broken part out of the box.
Took the unit out of the box and the air cleaner housing was broken. Called Menards to see what they said to do. They would replace it, bring it back to the store(50 miles away). But they did not have another new one right now. Finally got to talk to a real person at the Generac factory. She was great. Registered the unit I have and ordered the new part. Got the part in two days and installed it. Set up the unit and the generator works great. Wish it had a voltmeter on the unit.

You Split The Power
Plain and simple, the power rating is not what is advertised. You cannot get advertized watts from a single source - you split the power. Half of total watts on one side and half on the other and it cannot be combined.
Other than this false advertizing it starts easy and runs well. I do not believe what is claimed in the instruction manual for rating.

Awesome workhorse
Bought mine 6 years ago it’s a workhorse
Saved me through hurricane harvey ran window unit lighting and receptacles at night and ran fridge lights and receptacles during the day
A full tank lasted a little more than 12 hrs
I’ve used it for work when needed and it does the job just fine
Just recently ran for 72 hrs straight during this Texas freeze had all lights receptacles gas stove and gas furnace running it worked well
And I would recommend this to any future customers who need me to hook one up for them
I’m an electrician and know what’s needed to connect to you main electrical panel to make it easy to plug and play

Great generator. I've owned in for ~5 years and never had an issue. I use it (>8 hr) 2-3 per year and start it monthly.

Everything is so easy-to-use and get to.
Great for camping and great on power outages. I live in a tiny house and it will run my whole house.

Good generator that saved my frozen food
I bought this for a recent extended power outage to save my deer meat and refrigerated foods. My Yamaha inverter failed and I bought this without much research. It works very well and was a good value in my opinion. Yes it's loud but that was expected. The handle makes moving the unit very easy. We got over 10 hours on a tank of fuel. As a preventive measure, I did change the oil twice in the first 5 hours and got lots of metallic debris from manufacturing in the used oil. I'm very satisfied and look forward to a many years of service.

Lifesaver!
This GP3300 was actually broken down when I got it. The repair was easy and I got it for $130 under retail.
It kept the bedroom going, heat and all, when a small tornado tore up the Oklahoma fair grounds a few years ago. A different generator kept my food cold.
Next power outage I ran a GP7500E as long as I could, the 3300 stayed in the garage.
Now we're going on five days without power. This and the GP7500E have been absolute troopers, with the 3300 running my fridge and freezer and the 7500 running heat and my old Pentium 3 desktop.
I definitely did right by putting the money and work into Generac units. No regrets!!
