    • Very happy - money well spent.
Pattern Name: Generator Style: 22kW + 200-Amp Switch
I feel sorry for those who received damaged/dented products, so I feel lucky that my unit arrived undamaged and in perfect condition. Having said that, I see how a flimsy layer of cardboard sheet attached to the base pallet may not provide much protection during shipping. Perhaps Generac should consider investing another $25 for a fully framed out protection. Speaking of delivery, my generator arrived 90 minutes later of the delivery window's upper limit. Since it was a Saturday, there was no-one available to talk to. Phone calls went to voicemail or calling the corporate number message was "mailbox full". Keep that in mind when you schedule delivery outside of normail business hours M-F. Prepare to buy a battery (about $60) and if you live in cold climate, a cold weather kit (around $200) to keep your battery and oild filter warm during winter. None of these are included. Currently working on hooking up the unit. Already ran the gas line and the wires to the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATF). I am giving a 5 star review in anticipation of everything working out as expected. Should something not, I will come back and update my review. 30 day update: We had a 1 hr unexpecred power outage. The generator kicked off and ran just fine. Automatically turned off once the power came back on. Very happy customer. 60 day update: Additional 2 power outages, each lasting about 8 hours. Generator worked flawlessly. Fired up in 10 seconds after the outage, ran smoothly providing electricity to the entire house and turned off automatically after utility power came back on. VERY HAPPY - money well spent. ... show more

    • Awesome generator!
Pattern Name: Generator Style: 24kW + 200-Amp Switch
Bought this Generac 24kw whole house generator to have automatic power transfer during outages, it came with a 200amp transfer switch and a bunch of useful features. It was packed well and bolted on a pallet, the cardboard carton that surrounded it was a little worse for wear but the contents were fine (undamaged). Note: the generator requires a battery but it’s not included, and if you live in cold weather country you’ll want to order the cold kit which includes a battery warmer and oil filter warmer (worth the money). Also, if you have home wireless there are several features you can take advantage of including Generac’s mobile link which allows for remote monitoring and alerts etc. (visit their site and read more there). I must say the unit is much quieter than I though it would be, I fired the unit up to initialize and we let it run for a bit while we reignited it etc., by wife was in a bedroom right next to where the unit is located and she did not hear a thing. Standing right in front of it with the covers on and shut its extremely quiet, very impressive! (Note: I’m using LP gas and I understand that is quieter than natural gas. (This generator will use either once you set it up right, just a lever to move.) overall very happy with my purchase. Had to use customer support for a few minor things, they were quick and professional. ... show more

Pattern Name: Generator Style: 18kW + 200-Amp Switch
this generator started up twice, but since then, it won't run. Have purchased two brand new batteries and a code keeps coming up "low battery". now can't get generator to kick in. Installation was properly done by following the booklet instructions. Have called generac several times & not getting much help there. Had a generac technician come out & all he said was even though the wiring was done according to the booklet, that a 4 grade wiring was requiring, but he really didn't tell us why the generator wasn't kicking in. I am very frustrated & feel like I have wasted $5500. I purchased this item because my husband is a fully disabled vet & I wanted reassurance & security of having power. Not sure what else I can do. ... show more

I believe in Generac quality, I purchased a temp Generac for my daughter and à whole house gen for my wife and I. It came with a bent access panel. I tried to get a replacement panel but got the run around. Amazon offered to refund so I could buy another. I have electrician coming so didn't have time to wait and take a chance the second one will have a worse damage. The over-all unit is good and I straightened out the panel best I could and looks much better. Not perfect but better. I am looking forward to getting it connected. The fuel tanks (LP) will be here soon. Placing the pad base this week. I will keep you posted. ... show more

Pattern Name: Generator Style: 24kW + 200-Amp Switch
Bought the whole house generator (Generec) and the transfer switch. Problem was the transfer switch was 200 watts and we needed 100 watts. Had an electric company to install everything. Works fine.
