Jim's Recommendation
In 2008, Generac started manufacturing mid-sized portable generators, including this very popular GP8000E.
Now, Generac is introducing their second generation of portable generators. As a result, they decided to replace this best selling generator with a newer, more expensive model.
Our customers liked the GP8000E so much that we decided to take all 250 pieces of Generac's remaining inventory.
Based on it's prior popularity, we don't expect these units to last forever. It's a great generator at a great price.

BACK-UP POWER FOR HURRICANES
Wanted enough power to run an aquarium, refrigerator, TV, computer, lights, a fan and a room AC. I think this will work.
I was a little concerned about ordering online and shipping, but no one in the area handled the unit I wanted.
This has been a great experience. Easy to order, delivered to my driveway in about a week and arrived in perfect condition.
Following instructions, very easy set-up and start-up. Unit looks top quality in every way (I like that it has a steel gas tank) and I am very glad that I ordered from Electric Generators Direct.

A gem!
Took a while to receive as the delivery company was an interline carrier and my phone number did not make it through the billing process.
But once received, I pulled it out of the box, set it up, put oil in it, and it fired on the first pull and started on the second.
I have used it a couple of times so far constructing our new home. No issues, works fine, a gem!

Highly recommend product and EGD
I was talked into buying a Generac generator by conversing with a sales representative at a big box store.
Your price was $50 better and you didn't charge me shipping. The item was delivered right to my shop with lift-gate service.
I did the test run on it last week and it works like it's supposed to. Highly recommend this product and this distributor to others. Delivery was 3 days after purchase.

Worth it
I feel that the generator I purchased from you was worth the final price, and worth waiting for until you had it back in stock.

Starting in the cold
I bought a electric-start 8000 watt Generac generator last Fall, and it started fine in warm weather but when it got
down to approximately 10 to 15 degrees, it would not start by using the electric start.
I'm an old retired citizen and bought the one with the electric start because I have arthritis in my shoulders. So, I called my installer about this and showed him what it was doing and he took it to a factory rep.
They put it in their building, and when they tried to start it was fine because it was warm in the building.
Now the Generac company won't do anything to rectify my problem, so I'm stuck with something I will not be able to use this winter if I need it.
It would have been only used if the power went out; luckily it didn't this winter.
EGD RESPONDS: Batteries discharge very quickly in cold weather; you may want to keep yours indoors on a trickle charger so it's ready when you need it.
Also, using a synthetic oil in your generator will help it start quickly and easily, even in the cold. I bought a electric-start 8000 watt Generac generator last Fall, and it started fine in warm weather but when it got
down to approximately 10 to 15 degrees, it would not start by using the electric start.

Now the Generac ... more

First class equipment, honest company
I just want to pass along the excellent service and equipment your company provides.
I placed an order and within days the components started to arrive, and the generator was delivered right to my doorstep.
I received this equipment just as the second major snow storm arrived in Texas.
First class equipment and a wonderful, honest company- need I say anymore?!

Backup plan for a new baby
A colder and more wet than normal winter spells power outages.
With a new baby in the house you got to have a backup plan - Generac is our backup plan - and so far it's been a good one.
Now hearing the weatherman predict snow doesn't bother us at all.
It's the next best thing to a whole house generator.
