About Generac 7676 GP8000E 8,000-Watt Gas-Powered Portable Generator
Overall Feedback:
69% positive
71% liked the sturdy construction, but 29% found it flimsy
The assembly process was easy and required only a few steps.
On the first use after hurricane Ian, the product broke, indicating poor build quality.
I immediately noticed that the fine mesh filter was missing from my Generac generator, which is my second one. The quality control and customer service are both poor.
I broke the handle while trying to put it in the storage building because it was not welded properly.
67% found maintenance straightforward, but 33% faced complications
I was informed by the service shop that the problem was a faulty battery and it was replaced under warranty.
I need to service the generator periodically to clear valves professionally.
74% were satisfied with the quiet operation, but 26% were bothered
The generator is noisy.
71% found it easy to transport, but 29% found it bulky
I purchased the product on September 05, 23 and received it on October 04th due to delivery delays.
75% appreciated the high power output
If the power goes out, our generator has plenty of electricity to power our home.
To run the generator for 6 hours, I would advise carrying at least 2 full gas cans as it consumes a lot of gas.
67% appreciated the long runtime, but 33% found it limited
Even after recharging the battery, the unit would not start.
My battery dies within two days even after charging it up from the included charger.
If I don't charge the battery every 2 weeks, it won't start without a jump.
80% found it easy to start up, but 20% experienced difficulties
I can easily start the generator and it runs smoothly and reliably due to its fuel injected feature.
My favorite feature is the electric start and it comes with a battery charger.
This generator is much easier to move, fill with oil, check oil, and start compared to my old generator.
On the first 3-4 times, the generator started up immediately, but on the 5th time, it backfired a few times, which is similar to my experience with the first generator.

64% found it resistant to various weather conditions, but 36% experienced issues
During the 5-day power outage caused by a severe winter storm, I found that the generator worked flawlessly.
I had a bad experience with the generator as it never wanted to start, even after 2 years of usage.
