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.

Flimsy wheels
This is a brand new product for me, I’ve only had it for a few days. My power was out for about 36 hours and I used this generator the entire time. It started right up and ran fine. I am not a fan of how weak and flimsy the wheels are, I don’t think they will last long.

Good investment
Satisfied with the product. Fairly easy to assemble and hook up. It powers everything in my house, just not all at the same time which I expected. :^) I do have one issue with the welds on the cradle/handle that I am sure will be rectified by Generac.

Great Generator
I bought this for my 5th wheel after experiencing a power outage, it has a 4 prong 30amp plug, and several 20amp plugs. There is a Y adapter that can be purchased after market to plug into the 30amp and the 20amp and then to your 50amp RV plug. This lets you utilize at least 45 amps from your generator. Now I can power both A/C units when on portable power.

Better than the rest
This genny is does everything I need when the power goes out or when I'm working on project away from electrical service. One nice addition would be a keyed starter switch.

Buy it!.
I stopped in Lowe's, 5 miles down the road, and bought the generator due to storms damaging electric lines. Easy to assemble, instructions easy to read, put oil and gas in it and fired it up. It’s been providing electric to the house for over 40 hrs, no issues. It’s wired to a transfer box then into the house, and I selectively control the house breaker panel for needs. I keep the water pump, water heater, TV, Internet, and lights on all the time. I selectively control whatever else I need. At night I have a box fan running and can’t really hear (25 ft from the house) the generator. Great product. Buy it! I love the electric start. Wish they had a separate power outlet for charging the battery, instead you have to use one of the 4 120 VAC outlet provided. I made a 1 ft extension cord with three female plugs, and mounted the cord to the frame Now I can charge the battery, and still use the outlet for multiple items. Buy it

Easy to operate
This is a great generator capable of powering a home during an outage. It is easy to operate and the electric start is a nice feature. I would have given it 5 stars except the first unit I purchased kept shutting itself off after 12-15 seconds of operation. The Generac customer service representative helped me trouble shoot the unit but it never operated properly. They recommended I take it nearly 20 miles to the closest service center. I opted to exchange the unit where I purchased it and the second unit operates perfectly.
