 Know what you're getting in to. Oct 19, 2010
By CFO Ron
First, let me make a clear distinction between Amazon and Generac. I purchased this item on 9/15/10. Amazon could not have done better both before and after the sale. Exceptional service. Generac, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired. I have not had an opportunity to use the generator yet. I won't have the necessary electrical work done for another week. But I assume that the generator will deliver as promised because I'm certain other reviewers would have said something by now. If it doesn't, I'll add to this review.
My generator was DOA. It would not turn over with the electric start in spite of charging the battery for two days. Also, it would not even "pop" with the manual starter. Four of us tried. And this is where the problem really begins. Generac's warranty policy states that portable generators must be returned to a factory authorized service center under all circumstances. In my opinion, having wheels doesn't make it portable for warranty purposes. Somehow, getting a 255 pound generator in the back of my 4 door sedan, and driving it 25 miles to the closest service center after paying over $1,200 for something that never even started leaves much to be desired. I spoke to two levels of customer service at Generac, and got the same story from both. Because of the hazardous materials in the generator (oil and gas), it can't just be returned. So you need to deal with Generac and their warranty policy. I could have someone from a authorized service center come out to work on it. But, it will cost me $100 right off the bat because Generac will not pay to have anyone come out. I don't think I should have to do this on brand-new merchandise.
I think another reviewer also found this out the hard way. So before you buy anything from Generac, just be aware of what you may need to go through if the item is defective within the waranty period. If you're one of those people who regularly haul things around in a pick-up truck or with a trailer, fine. If not, think twice.

 New, will not start - why didn't I pay attention to the reviews Jul 26, 2011
By advsrbill
Brand new today. Put it together, oil, gas, excited to start it up. Nothing. Cranks, but will not turn over. Not even a hint that it wants to start.
Guess I will have to pay the bucks for a repair guy to come out an visit. Very, very annoyed!!!

Generac very poor quality Jun 21, 2011
By Jaykalish
Purchased this after I did a lot of research. Bought it because it was made in the USA. Now I know why we are such deep trouble . It was dead on arrival. Would not start even when pulled. I recharged the battery and tried the next day.. Nothing . Took apart the cover and tested all connections to see if there was any juice. Got a pair of jumper cables and jumped the battery . It sparked but nothing else. Took a screw driver and crossed the starter cell. Started up. Bad starter controller. Called customer service and after waiting for 25 minutes , explained the problem, explained I am a handicapped Senior and had no way of getting the machine to a dealer which was 75 miles away. Asked her to send me the part and I could replace it with no problem. Out of the question. Told me to go to a lawn mower shop and buy a part. The choke cable is to short so when the unit is running , it rattles the choke cable on and chokes out the generator. Sorry I got involved with this company. Amazon said it is not returnable and I have only had it 2 day. So much for Made in the USA a real sorry unit with no quality control. They should change the Corp name to Gener=crap Sequel Genracrap vs Irene. Had problems with gas in oil, bad shut off value, after that was fixed and had to use manual choke as cable was bad, it did the job but what a pain in the butt

New but wouldn't start. Jul 25, 2011
By Tuck
Brand new out of the box , it would not start. Because it uses gas Amazon will not refund your money or exchange it. I had to find a local dealer to fix it. Please don't waste your time.

 Outstanding! Nov 02, 2011
By Tom D.
The entire experience from ordering the unit through Amazon, delivery (on time), and performance has been terrific. I just recently went through hell with a new generator (different brand and company)that I was unable to exchange until Amazon reinburst me causing the company to take their unit which arrived damaged back. Thank goodness for Amazon I was able to get my money back and purchase this new unit which is just as powerful and $100 less. This unit came nicely packed, little assembly required and started up on the first start!! Thank you Generac and THANK YOU AMAZON!!
