Reliable, well built, delivers when needed, keeps us safe
The GP8000E Generac Portable Generator is the first generator we have acquired. Its no nonsense starting instructions make it easy to start the generator. We read through the instructions completely and started it same day we purchased to validate reliability and our know-how and it started immediately and safely. Instructions are easy to understand and follow. We look forward to having it up and ready to go whenever we may need it. Safety directions are clear and thorough.

Power When We Need It Most!
Guess I’m turning into my Dad….have been wanting a Generator and finally broke down and bought one. Chose this model due to its capability to power most everything in my house and due to it’s ease of use if I’m at work and my family needs to use it. I also installed a Generator service to my house to make it safer to hook up in the event I’m not home. Haven’t got to use it yet other than a few test runs. Honestly hope we don’t need it but It’s a Generac so it will be ready when we do.

bran new and it won't quit tripping the circuit breaker when we run a portable welder with it.
We have 5500 watt model over 5 years old that runs better with portable welding equipment. this new GP 8000 cuts off, tripping the circuit breaker whenever we run a portable welder.

Used 1 winter 44 hours, won’t battery start
Used it for one winter. Started great with battery !Then tried battery start in Spring and it wouldn’t start. Charged battery. no go. Changed battery, no go.Changed spark plug no go! Called customer service and after being on hold for 34 minutes, I told employee my problem and my troubleshooting and she said maybe bad gas, I said it starts manually pull start. She said, maybe new battery is not charged! Checked , full charge. She told me to bring it to local Generac repair shop. Now i gotta rent a truck, lug the 250 pound machine across the state and drop it off to have them check it out. Not sure if its worth the trouble even though its obviously still under warranty til 2023. I heard they were dependable, thats why I bought it. Looks like I’m pull starting for the duration even though the selling point for me was battery start....Bummed out and disappointed!

works well
Bought it during an ice storm, no power for 4 days. It powered our whole house, however our house is new and very efficient all lights are LED. gas heat, water heater, dryer. Gas tank was large enough to run all night-NICE! only down fall is there is no gas tank drain, will need to siphon gas out of tank to run engine dry for long term storage as we seldom are without power.
