"Parts were easy to find"
I found what I needed without much hassle, and most of the parts were in stock. You don’t have to spend forever digging around, which made the whole thing straightforward

"Much quieter than I was worried it would be"
I was a little nervous about how loud the generac would be during an outage, especially since I didn’t want to bother the neighbors or regret having it run for hours. But it really wasn’t bad at all. Inside the house it was more like a steady low hum, and even when I stepped outside, it wasn’t anywhere near as annoying as I expected. Big relief, and I’m happy with it so far.

"Customer service did get back to me, but..."
Customer service did get back to me, but it took a couple days. They helped me out eventually, which I appreciated, but ngl I wish the response time had been faster...

"Repair was done quick"
I think the tech came out on Tuesday, or maybe it was Wednesday, but either way they showed up right on time and got the repair done quickly. No complaints from me.

"I looked at a few different generator..."
I looked at a few different generator options, and Generac seemed fair price-wise. It wasn’t the absolute cheapest, but it feels like you’re getting solid value for what you pay. The website was easy to use too, so I didn’t feel like I was just guessing my way through it. Overall, I’m happy with it so far 🙂

"Still going strong after years"
We’ve had ours for years now, it still kicks on just fine. Nothing fancy to say—just one of those purchases that makes you think, yeah, this was a good call

"The app works well most days..."
The app works well most days. I might just be forgetting the smooth times and only noticing when it’s annoying, but the alerts do seem to load a little slow sometimes.

"In my experience, the generator itself has been..."
In my experience, the generator itself has been fine and does what it’s supposed to do. The main issue for me has been the monitoring connection. Some days the app updates right away, but other times it shows old info or says it’s offline even when things seem to be working. Support was okay when I reached out, but I personally wish the connection was more reliable...

"Generac docs made setup a lot easier"
I thought the manuals on generac.com were going to be a headache, but they were actually easy to get through. The wiring diagrams and maintenance steps were clear enough that I wasn’t sitting there second-guessing everything the whole time.
I also found the model info quickly, which saved me a lot of time and probably a call to support. A couple pages could still be better, but overall the docs were really helpful. Did anyone else run into any confusing spots, or was it mostly straightforward for you too?

"Kept things running when the power went out"
Our power went out and this generator kicked on quick. It kept the fridge, heat, and Wi-Fi going, so I can’t say it didn’t do its job. It was a little louder than I expected, but overall it worked good and got us through the outage.

"Generator works well, but support was a bit frustrating"
I ordered a Generac generator through the site, and the buying process was straightforward for me. So far, the generator has been working fine, and I do feel better having it around when bad weather rolls in.
The only downside in my experience was trying to get clear answers about installation and warranty details. I had to call more than once and ended up hearing different things, which was frustrating considering the cost. Overall, I’m happy with the product, but I wish the support side had been smoother.

"Tech support actually came through"
I called in about an error code on my generator, not really wanting to mess with it too much on my own just in case I made something worse. The support guy walked me through the steps quickly and kept it simple. It’s working fine now, so I’m glad I called instead of guessing.

"Solid dealer, scheduling was a pain"
The dealer who came out was on time, polite, and actually knew what he was doing, which is always a nice surprise because some people are total clowns. He explained the basics clearly without making it a confusing mess. I’m giving 4 stars only because scheduling took longer than I expected and was kind of a pain in the ass. Overall though, it was a good experience.

"Showed up right on time"
Booking the delivery was easy, and they actually showed up when they said they would. I don’t usually get too excited about delivery stuff, but I also get annoyed when people are late, so that was a nice surprise. The driver called ahead too, which made things smoother. nothing fancy happened, but that’s kind of exactly what I wanted. No real hassles, and I’m happy with it.

"I went on Generac because I needed to..."
I went on Generac because I needed to figure out what maintenance was due on my standby generator, mostly the oil, filter, and the usual yearly service stuff.
Umm, I’m definitely not the handiest person, but the site was actually easy to follow. I found the maintenance schedule and manuals without clicking around forever or getting confused.
I still had a tech handle the bigger checks, but it really helped to know what needed to be done ahead of time. Super useful, and I’d give it 5 stars

"I had to reach out to Generac..."
I had to reach out to Generac about a warranty issue with my generator. The person I spoke with was polite and seemed willing to help, which I appreciated. It just took more calls and waiting than I think it really should have. I get that things take time, but when someone has a valid warranty problem, it feels fair to expect a little more urgency. They did get it sorted out in the end, so I can’t say it was a bad experience, just slower than I hoped.

"Works exactly like it should"
We had the Generac transfer switch installed last month, and it’s been working great so far. During a recent outage, the power switched over really quickly and everything came back up without any weird issues. A friend had recommended going this route, and I’m glad we listened. Happy with it.

"Good when it works, but not perfect"
I’ve had my Generac for a little while now, and overall it does what it’s supposed to do. When the power goes out, it usually kicks on, which is definitely reassuring. That said, it hasn’t been quite as trouble-free as I expected. I’ve had a couple of minor starting issues and ended up needing to call for service once. It’s not a bad generator by any means, but for the price, I was hoping it would feel a little more dependable

"Install was easier than what I’ve heard from others"
I ordered through Generac the whole thing went smoother than I expected. The installer showed up right when they said they would, which already put it ahead of a lot of service appointments I’ve dealt with. It took most of the day, but they cleaned everything up before leaving and walked me through the basics so I wasn’t left guessing. I’ve heard a few neighbors complain about installs taking forever or being messy, but mine was straightforward overall.

"Uses Way Less Fuel Than I Thought"
I picked up a Generac mainly for power outages, and my biggest worry was how Much gas it was going to chew through. So far, it’s been better than I expected. I’ve had it running the fridge, some lights, and the internet for hours, and it hasn’t been nearly as thirsty as I thought it would be.
It’s not like it uses no fuel at all, obviously, but compared to my old setup this thing is a Big improvement. It starts up fast, runs steady, and I don’t feel like I have to keep checking the tank every five minutes like a nervous weirdo.
