A Durable Power Supply Wherever You Need It
The Generac 5,000-Watt Generator is an ideal portable generator to have at home, on the job site, or wherever you need power. Its compact frame--33.5 x 26.5 x 27.5 inches (LxWxH)--is fitted with never-flat wheels and locking fold-down handles, so it can easily accompany you wherever you go. And with its hardened steel-tube cradle, this rugged generator holds up well for frequent travel, allowing you to look forward to years of operation.

Thanks to its versatile design, this generator adds comfort and possibility to any situation. Use it to keep your family safe through unexpected blackouts, add some fun to a camping trip, or make your job faster and easier.

Powerful OHV Engine with Secure Shutdown
The Generac 5,000-Watt Generator is equipped with a powerful 389-cc OHV (overhead valve) engine. The engine features a low-oil shutdown system, which prevents engine damage and keeps your generator in good shape for long-term use. It also features splash lubrication and a high-performance alternator, ensuring that operation of your electrical devices is efficient and smooth.

Plus, this generator's sturdy, 6.6-gallon steel tank ensures a full 10 hours of operation at a 50-percent load, letting you relax for hours of use. And with the tank's built-in fuel gauge, you can monitor fuel levels at a glance. Generac even provides you with your first supply of oil.

Plenty of Wattage to Run a Full Range of Appliances
The Generac 5,000-Watt Generator supplies 5,000 output watts and 6,250 maximum watts (for start-up of devices). It has an A/C voltage of 120/240 and a frequency of 60 hertz.

For unexpected blackouts, this is enough wattage to run home appliances such as security systems, computers, and electric range tops. For construction and landscaping applications, it's enough to support devices such as trimmers, belt sanders, and circular saws. And for camping and outdoor events, it can run portable stereos, outdoor lights, and electric grills.

(Note: All appliances should be checked for actual wattage ratings.)

Safe, Quiet Operation with Overload-Protected Outlets
If security and quiet operation are important to you in a generator, then the Generac 5,000-Watt Generator is an ideal choice. Its four 120-volt outlets and single 120/240-volt 30 Amp twist lock outlet are circuit-breaker protected, guarding against power overloads and allowing the generator to smoothly send power to your appliances. And the low-tone muffler means the generator runs at a comfortable noise level that easily blends into the background.

This generator is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

4 out of 5 stars Good quality product   June 13, 2010
Rodney A. Foust Sr. (Bear, DE)
Purchased to run an outdoor concession stand for football games. Performed very well.
It's a little loud, but ran great at full load for 6 hour stretches throughout the season.
No complaints



4 out of 5 stars Good generator but need a few pull to start.   April 8, 2010
J. Sit
This generator is Loud as the engine size is 389CC bigger than other with the same Wattage.

The noise is loud and need few pulls to start.

I bought this because the previous reviewer stated this is made in USA. However, the label so "MADE in China". Why pay more for a China made generator.

I live in an area where the power goes out a lot and this thing comes in handy a lot. I've got it hooked up to my whole house and it handles everything (with exception of electric heat, A/C, or water heater). But if you have natural gas appliances then your good. I got this about a year ago and the only problem I have had is sometimes I gotta pull the starter cord 10-15 times to get it to start.

Boy this is a great generator for the price. I got a 8,000 Watt and it will run my whole house. Great if you have a power outage. Darrell

I bought a different brand but similar sized generator at a local store. I bought that generator as a closeout model thinking I found a great bargin.

The problem with this overseas-made generator was that fuel poured out where the carburator mated to the engine. I suspect it lacked a gasket, but it went back to the store pronto as I wasn't going to deal with it.

The Generac GP5000 is solidly built and well made. It just has a solid build feel to it without being unnecessarily heavy or bulky. The engine started up right away and ran fine. It was a shade louder than I anticipated but certainly nothing unusual or obnoxious. I like the fact that Generac designs their alternators and engines specifically to work together and they are not two independent units designed by different manufacturers and simply slapped together.

If you are running electronic equipment off this generator, or most any other generator, you will risk damage to that equipment as this generator, like others, does not produce a clean enough energy wave. So you may wish to consider some type of voltage regulation if you plan on running sensitive equipment for extended periods. Generac makes pure sine wave portable generators called their "XP Series" for running sensitive electronics, but be prepared to pay a premium for these models.

All-in-all, a good, solid, American-made generator that I hope to have around for a long time.
