Its compact design, smaller footprint, semi-solid, rally-style wheels and fold-down locking handles make this XG Series generator easier to transport. Additionally, its durable construction with oversized full-wrap frame tubing and impact resistant corners minimizes damage from rough handling. And all XG Series generators come with covered outlets for added protection from the environment and rugged working conditions, plus an hour meter to help track maintenance requirements.

Note for California residents: This model is not CARB-compliant. Units sold to California must be CARB-compliant.

Powerful, Long-Lasting OHVI Engine

The Generac OHVI (Overhead Valve Industrial) engine is the only engine designed specifically for generator use. Generators are often required to run for hours at a time, or even day after day. Engines adapted from other applications can overheat and may have shorter lifespans. It offers advanced heat reduction technology such as plateau-honed cylinders that lessen break-in time, plasma moly ring seals that help to keep excess oil out of the cylinder, and graphite piston inserts that provide a smoother surface for the piston to move against--all helping to contribute to a significantly longer engine life.

Maintenance costs are reduced with a spin-on automotive-style oil filter that's larger than a standard filter, catching more particles so oil stays cleaner for a longer amount of time. Service intervals are up to twice as long as competitive engines, approximately 2 years or 200 hours of operation.

Plenty of Wattage to Run a Full Range of Appliances

The Generac XG7000 supplies 7,000 output watts and 8,750 maximum watts (for start-up of devices). It has an A/C voltage of 120/240 and a frequency of 60 hertz.

XG Series control panel (see larger image).

For unexpected blackouts, this is enough wattage to run home appliances such as security systems, computers, and electric stoves, as well as window A/C units and sump pumps. For construction and landscaping applications, it's enough to support large devices such as lawn mowers, belt sanders, and table 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.)

This generator's sturdy, 9-gallon steel tank ensures a full 12 hours of operation at a 50-percent load, letting you relax for hours of use. You can monitor fuel levels at a glance with the tank's built-in fuel gauge, while the unique lighted Power Bar displays available wattage. Its 120-volt outlets are circuit-breaker protected, guarding against power overloads and allowing the generator to smoothly send power to your appliances.

This generator is backed by a two-year limited residential warranty (one-year warranty for commercial applications).

Generac 5797 XG7000 8,750 Watt 410cc OHV Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit Review

I decided to replace my old, problematic Colman Powermate generator, with a new, higher quality unit. After reading reviews on the larger portable units, my choice was narrowed to two manufactures; Honda and Generac. My electrical needs dictated a machine with a 6000 to 8000 kW capacity. Both companies offered equipment in this range as well a several units with homeowner, commercial, and industrial ratings. I decided to buy American (we need the jobs!) and to buy an upgraded, commercial unit, just in case. I purchased my Generac XG7000 from Northern Tool Co. and had it shipped by truck to my home. The installation was very straight forward and because of my previous unit, all the electrical lines, grounding and platform were in place. However, because I had had problems with gasoline's gummy aging issues in the past... and yes, I did use the additives... I decided that I would add a small amount of fuel to the new Generac, test the starting of the engine, and let it use what small amount I had in the tank, stopping when the carburetor ran dry. I wanted the gas tank and carburetor empty. I then removed the spark plug, and lightly oil down the cylinder walls as recommended for storage, or until I needed to use it. Last week, as the hurricane Sandy approached, I filled the Generac's gas tank and assured my family that we've done everything that we could do to get ready. The winds were high, our neighborhood's trees started to fall, and we lost power around eight that evening. It was clearly too dangerous to walk across the yard to our garage, so I waited until the morning to power it up. The generator started on the first pull, but when the transfer switch was turned on in the house... no power! I ran back to the garage and pushed the circuit breakers buttons on the generator... no lights in the house. This (yet to be used) generator was not working. I called Nothern Tool and they told me to contact Generac, which I did (and waited for 20 minuets!) and spoke with a customer service rep. He told me that I had to transport the unit to their local dealer/service center... a well respected local generator installer, Cannondale Generator in Wilton CT. As bad as the weather was, I borrowed the neighbors station wagon and dropped it off that afternoon. Cannondale was clearly overwhelmed with service calls, but said that if I left it, they would have someone take a look at it in the next two to three days! It was made clear to me that their customers would have priority, which I understood. I went home to a dark, cold, waterless house. In the next few days our home dropped to 52 degrees, we had thrown out our spoiled food, used the showers at the high school, overdressed to stay warm, and carted our water from the forestation. My family was miserable and I was not a happy camper. Four days later, Cannondale's mechanic was able to look at my unit and told me that it had factory defect and should have never have gotten past quality control at the factory... and to top things off, he did not have the parts needed for repair. I was in shock. I had prepared for this event by purchasing a quality generator, and I got a lemon! I left the shop and called Generac from my car. Once again I was placed on 'hold', having to listen to Generacs recorded promotion... telling me of their 'reliable solution', assurance of 'real value', that I would 'never feel powerless',and insuring the quality of their 'largest, nationwide dealer service'. Once again customer service eventually answered my call. After I explained the experience that I've had with their product and stating that I would like Generac to provide a replacement unit, or a refund, the rep. apologized profusely, but insisted that refund or replacement was not the policy of Generac, but they would honor the 2 year warrantee by repairing the unit. I informed him of the lack of parts and that no completion date was offered to me. He again apologized and informed me that this was all that the factory was prepared to do! I asked if I could speak with his supervisor... there was a pause, and he the told me that he was the supervisor... in fact, that he was the Vice President of Sales for Generac, and simply helping out with the phones because of the flood of calls due to the storm. I was speechless. It was clear that Generac had no interest in customer satisfaction. If not a refund or replacement, why not offer a repair priority? or FedEx the needed parts? or extend the warrantee? The apology was simply not enough. It was Saturday, and on my ride home, I was informed by radio newscast of the new Noreaster... a storm to arrive Wednesday with 60 mph gusts. While I owned a Generac, I've been without its service through one of the largest storm crises in the history of the east coast. Generac has shown just how much they care about individual consumers who use their products.
