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.

I REALY LIKE THIS MACHINE , MY BATTERY WAS BAD, I CONTACTED THE COMPANY AND RECEIVED A NEW BATTERY, NOW EVERY THING OK.
THIS GENARATOR WILL NOT RUN IN A CLOSED BUILDING IT WILL SHUT DOWN. RUNS GOOD AND STARTS FAST.

Besides being portable it has EXACTLY the features I was looking for!
I have been considering purchasing a backup power source for my home and had actually purchased a portable generator years ago. But as I've gotten older, having to pull the cord to get it started takes a toll on my shoulder and then there's the thought of my wife having to start it if I'm not home or able, it's no longer practicable. So I have been weighing my options and this unit looks great, compact, has electric start! Even included the battery. Although, I haven't needed it just yet, I feel confident that when I do I'm going to be able to get it going without injuring myself. and i won't have to worry about having being without power!!

No idol control
Little disappointed.. my other generator has idol control slows motor down with no load.
Not a deal breaker... still very happy with the 3 generators I have bought thorough out the years

Works as advertised
This unit was recommended by my electrician. I’ve only needed it once, and it worked as advertised. assembling was very easy. It had sat idle for more than a month in a cold shed but started right up with the. Push of the button yesterday.
