I bought this generator a few days ago to prepare for power outages in our area. After reading all the reviews I decided to go with this model to not only power our home but also our well pump and septic pump. The generator basically was ready to use after attaching the wheels and feet to the frame and adding the engine oil included. It was easy to start and has met my expectations.
Older single female purchased this generator due to its easy to use features. Is a large enough unit to power what I need and is transfer switch ready.
I recently purchased this generator and it has created a priceless sense of ease. It was easy to learn how to use and a great design. Would highly recommend this generator!
I recently purchased this generator as an upgrade to my old generator. This 7500 is more powerful than my older generator, and when I plugged it into my home, it ran everything well with no lag. Great! I'm ready for the storms!
My only issue is that the instructions of the generator were lacking. When I placed the oil and the gas in the generator it wouldn't start. I checked and re-checked EVERYTHING and it wouldn't work, not even with the pull-start. I thought I got a lemon.
The issue was, was that the battery needed to charge so the electronic start would work. I didn't know this, since I assumed that the battery was charged up and ready to go. You have to wait, like, an hour or so for the battery to charge up. Once you see that little yellow battery light lit, you're ready to go. The instructions do not say this and while this may be obvious to someone more attuned to electronic-start generators, for a newbie like me, it was perplexing and frustrating.
Here's hoping that this generator lasts many years!
