Quality Generator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Generac 5500 generator was very simple and easy to put together. Adding oil and fuel easy as well. Start-up with manual startup was fairly easy. This unit also comes with a battery for an electric start which is pretty cool. The load can handle several small appliances such as a refrigerator, freezer and a TV or you can use it to run a single 220 volt HVAC system by itself. Moving the unit is a breeze as it comes with a handy handle that folds up and down for easy storage. Overall I highly recommend this unit and Generac is well known for their reliability and quality.

Nice generator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This geneator will be great when we are boondocking with our RV! It requires gasoline which is a minus for me because of the smell but at the same time, it is easy to find and purchase. This is a very heavy item, and you will need a friend to move it around!

Super handy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super durable and handy. We have a winter storm coming and I feel totally prepared because we have this thing! It is super heavy and we keep it in the garage.

I bought my unit based on its dual fuel capabilities however starting it in LP mode is a bit of a challenge.

Reliable and Powerful generator.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator came almost fully put together. Super simple instructions for putting together/use and I love how powerful it is. It’s easy to fuel up and set up the controls aren’t to complicated. We used it with multiple bad snowstorms this last year and it never let us down. Would absolutely recommend and it’s worth every penny.

Good generators but…
Bought 2 of these. In FL, I start them about every 6 months. At 9 months old, one did not start. H Depot didn’t even have them on file as a purchase. Generac fixed that. I got the repair but had to rent a uhaul – 2 separate trips to take to the shop and back home. I think it should have been fixed on site, considering I spent almost 2k with them. I do like them though
