Portable Generator 12000 Watt,Gasoline Powered,Electric Start

I purchased the Green Power America 8K generator several years ago and have had great service. I decided to purchase this one due to hurricane season. I fired right up and runs well. The only thing I'm not happy with is the handle to move the generator around, they should have stuck with the old version where you can just pick up the end of the generator to move it around, this new version you have to lean down on it to lift the generator. It's okay for someone who has some weight, but if someone under 150 lbs. had to move it they may have trouble.

I wanted a generator I could run my whole home on. I added a 6ga cord to this set-up so I would not lose any power. I fired it up and ran almost everything in the house at the same time. I do have a very efficient home with every light being LED's, 2 Mini splits, Well pump, Lift-station for the septic system, 2 tankless water heaters, 1 is 110-volt 30Amp circuit the other is 220 volts 60Amp circuit. We can run everything with the small water heater, but we have to shut off the AC to run the larger water heater, it draws 54Amps. Both AC units are 18,000 Btu's each Mini splits that are on 20Amp circuits and only draw 10.8 Amps each. We did run a couple of burners on the stove with everything else on and noticed only a small strain on the generator. We live here in central Florida and lose power with some summer storms and most hurricanes. I like that it runs with more power on gasoline than other generators with dule fuel, "pick a fuel man". We look forward to losing power and having the peace of mind knowing that we will be OK.

Chinese quality. Mine came scraped up, but works fine for a budget tool. The wheels are cheap plastic and must be treated with care or they will break, the welds look like they were done by a 4 year old, but they will hold.... Last of the bad, some of the packing was basically melted on the lines, so it required cleaning before starting. The real rating is about 6.8/10 to a 7.2/10. The good: Very portable and easy to move around. The price point is pretty good for what the generator does.

The media could not be loaded.  Like in the earlier post, the noise is a little high, but no higher than the any other generator with less wattage like our dewalt 4500. It's only really noisey when pushing heavy loads.But just use three barrells if u have on sides and point exhaust away from gathering areas, and it sounds like a car on low rev.Review Update Nov 29Service Department is Awesome, warranty is honorable, we contacted Green Power America and John went out of way to accommodate with issue at hand. John offered repair at the nearest repair to me or replacement. John, His response was immediate even at night. Green Power Truly stands behind You their units , and honor there warranty.Thanks Green Power for immediate response. I really haven't seen this type of customer service in a while. For some if you remember when the customer is first, well this company put customers first.

Bought this gen for backup power at my home. Got it put together, ( no assembly instructions included) gassed and oiled it up (oil also not included), and started it for the first time for it to run for 5 seconds and then power off. I followed all the normal procedures with the choke and made sure the fuel valve was on and for some reason it just will NOT stay running after many attempts. Customer service is hard to get ahold of, and not helpful so I would recommend going with a different machine.

Isn't

we bought this in preparation of this years Hurricane season (2020) with the way thing have gone in the first three months and the fact this is supposed to be a busy season I didn't want to take any chances after Irma, we were without power for 2.5 weeks. so we decided to look at generators and I'm happy with this purchase.We needed something to run our freezer, refrigerator, portable A/C, and C-PAP machines. This generator works well for that. After assembling the Generator (wheels, Handle bars, and front legs) I added Oil and gas and let it run for about 5 minutes, and there were no issues. I then turned it off and hooked up both freezers, the portable A/C, and C-PAP machines and ran everything for about 10 minutes to test with no issues. I didn't measure our total watts, but the generator didn't skip a beat.So far we are happy with this purchase, the price point was excellent and I'm happy with the build quality.

Was what I expected. Customer support was very helpful.
