You get what is advertised
I decided that going without electricity and having the basement flood after the last hurricane was more stress than I wanted in my life. I did a lot searching on the internet for a generator that would give me the best peace of mind. I settled on the Generac 5940 GP6500- 6500 Watt Portable Generator (5940).
I paid for the tail gate service and it was delivered very promptly and wheeled up to my house. Assembly was extremely easy. I put oil and gas in it as directed, and with one pull it was running. A few weeks later I had the "Transfer Switch" installed and we killed all power to the house, started the generator, and flipped the transfer switch to the operating position. Everything we had connected (which was just about everything except central air conditioning) was powered on. We even ran water until our well pump turned on and the generator never even hesitated or appeared to be under strain.
So if we ever lose electricity again, especially for a long duration of time, the neighbors will see that we have heat, water, and lights. They will all be welcome!
Thanks Generac for supplying a product that truly is what is advertised. In today's world it is nice to see some honesty in advertising.

Service and Repair a Must
Purchased this Generac Generator, works great with RV, easy to move around. One thing all Generator owners NEED to remember is that if your Generator breaks down, Somebody has to Repair it. GENERAC Has Excellent Service and REPAIR. Generac is Nation Wide so finding repair service for Genrac is easy. Please Remember this folks. Service is Paramount.
My Generac has Not needed repair and probably will Not . Thank You Generac

Could be lower decibel level
Generator runs great but it’s LOUD LOUD LOUD!!!!!! With the technology figured the noise level would be lower a decibel.

Easy start
We purchased our unit the day before Hurricane Ida hit the LA coast. Our old unit would not start so we had to get a new one. This was the only one available everyone was sold out. I am sure glad they had this unit. It was very easy to assemble. Hurricane Ida hit and the power was out for 10 days. It ran 8 to 10 hours a day and never faulted in any way. It was very easy to start, it ran everything I needed (except to central a/c). I just took it out of storage for the new hurricane season. I checked everything out filled it with gasoline and started on the first pull. Very very satisfied.

Perfect
Arrived as planned! Packaged was perfect! Added oil and gas first pull started right up? Load tested it after 1hour of running! I’m highly pleased! For the money you can’t beat this unit! Highly recommend. I bought the GP3300i

EASY PEASEY
Initial assembly was quite easy. Oil fill: It would have been helpful to know that the whole quart would be needed, The Inconvenience of stopping and checking 2-3 times could have been avoided, that was unnecessary.

Home Back Up GP17500
Purchased for hurricane back up power for my all-electric home. Works very well but just falls short of being able to operate all the house loads. Having said that it still covers the important items (a/c, lights, tv, fans, etc.) but adding the water heater and stove pushes the 50-amp capacity. Neighbors are looking at upgrading their units.
