Generac 5945 GP5500, 5,500 Watt Portable Gas Powered Generator (CARB Compliant) 4.7 5 64 64
Excellent value and reliability I bought this generator on day two of what turned out to be a 10 day power outage after the October snowstorm. It was easy to assemble, with everything including oil, in the box. It then ran for the next eight days powering my boiler, two fridges, lights, and other appliances. It performed like a champ and made a miserable experience bearable. My only small complaint is how loud it is. If Generac could quiet it down a little it would be perfect. I was looking at other brands priced much much higher for the same capabilities, but this one is a bargain! I have and will recommend it to anyone. It turned out to be far more reliable than our power company. 11/12/2011
Love this generator Bought this for oct snow storm and electric outage. Never having had a generator before it was easy to use. It was loud but not as loud as our neighbors which made us not hear ours. We were able to run everything when needed with no problems. I would recommend this product again and again. P.S. My brother is an electrician and he drove from CT to Troy NY to pick up 12 of these for family in friends. There were generators available here in ct but no generacs and he swears by them. 11/09/2011
Noisey Great product. Muffler is not up to the task though. At least Generac should offer an upgraded muffler or attachment to quiet this beast down. 11/09/2011
Great Value I bought this for a freak of nature snow storm in October 2011 were my power went out for 6 days. I bought a Husky generator with a briggs motor and the motor failed after 24 hrs of usage. So I returned it and bought this. What can I say, I made the right choice. it was quieter, bigger gas tank, hr meter, and a low oil shut off for the same price as the Husky. It powered my whole house. Tv, DVD player, 2 fridges, furnace, hot water tank, and lights. Don't think twice about it, Just buy it!!!! 11/07/2011
