Excellent performance for everyday use
I use my GENERAC to provide power in remote locations while working on our farm. It has never failed to perform above my expectations.

COSense needs to be removed
In the middle of a string of outages i now own a $1000 paperweight that will not run in the middle of my yard with no other exhaust sources for 100ft plus away due to COSense. It started and ran great for a few hours overnight and now wont run for more that 30 seconds before shutting down.
Wasted over an hour on the phone with CS with the only option to take it for service when i will probably need to be running it instead. I would happily sign any and all liability releases for the information to bypass this stupid sensor.
If you are shopping for a backup generator keep looking its not this one.

Didn't work, out of the box.
I bought the product on Sunday before a hurricane hit on Tuesday, knocking out our power. The main cable that plugs into my (electrician installed) circuit box worked fine, so I had water pump, sump pump, furnace, refrigerator and freezer working. But none of the four 120 outlets worked at all. I called for additional directions and was told to contact my local service person. I did and they said that I had to bring it in for service. So, I could not run extension cords into my house for electricity for the next 4 days that my power was out. I am taking it in for repair and hope that they get the outlets running. Service people have been very nice. Also, you make it very difficult to find the serial number, hidden on the back of the panel, and difficult to register the serial number/product, by telling me to go to a web site, then find the registration icon, then telling me to call a number. Why not have the number in your literature, or allow the registration on -line?

Great features
Love the CO sense no worries about the possibility of CO poisoning. The electronic push start lessens the hassle of pull start. Parts list could’ve been a little bit better detailed and the directions for installing the feet using the bolts and bolts for handle could be a little bit better but all in all everything was put together in about 15 minutes. I think instead of using cotter pins to secure the wheel pins I’d rather use a nylon locking nut.

Runs my entire 4,000 sf house
Really amazing, starts every pull. Unfortunately the cover rotted and I can’t seem to find a replacement. But otherwise 100%

Easy peasy
Fantastic generator. Easy start, easy connection. Powered everything in the house when the power was out. Only complaint would be the loudness, but the amount of power it puts out is worth the little bit of noise.

excellent product
The biggest thing about this generator was the ease of operation once i finished installing the wheels and handle. The electric start makes is so easy to start the generator. The generator provided power to spare in my house. the downside is that the installation instructions for the wheels and handle was very small to read, especially, when i was in the dark. I was also missing two nuts to mount the handle. i ended up temporarily installing some other bolts/nuts until i could replace the nuts. there's a need to be more specific as to how long and how often to charge the battery.
