Summary: Bad Product
Comment: I have a Generac 12Kw generator I bought 3 years ago. It ran automatically 12 minutes a week to exercise the engine. In the 3 years it has powered my home about a total of 2 hours. It was warranted for 2 years. Just before Gustav hit the gulf coast the generator bit the dust. Between Gustav and Ike I had a Generac dealer check out the problem. The problem ended up being major. After the tech came out 3 times he found the rotor to be bad. We found out the thursday before Ike arrived. I went ahead and evacuated. When I came back from Ike I took the generator apart and brought the rotor to another dealer for a double check. The tech at that dealer said that he had changed out 3 or 4 of the rotors on the same model. He said they were faulty built rotors. I contacted Generac about the faulty rotor and they said to tell them the whole story in writing and they would see if they could cover the rotor. Right now I am sitting here with a useless generator and Generac will not send me a new rotor unless I let the highest price Generac dealer install the rotor at what ever price they want to charge for labor. Believe me, you don't want to buy a generac generator. I have heard other stories about them. A 3 year warranty is really not good on something that doesn't run but a couple of hours in 3 years. This generator cost me a total of $3200 just to hear it exercise itself for 3 years. I am trying to make up my mind to spend another $240 to have it go out again. If you don't have power outages but a few minutes a year it's not worth the trouble. Do not depend on it. My neighbor across the street bought one for a 6600 sq.ft. home before the hurricane's hit this summer and they never was able to use theirs. The company that installed it had to replace it with another. It was a big Carrier generator.

Comment: We own a standby Guardian generator and are very happy with the product. Living in a wooded area, we lose power often during wind and rain storms. In the event of an outtage, the lights go dark for approx 30 seconds and then LIGHTS! We have septic & well, and a small child so for us this was a necessity.
