Generac7722 GP3600 3,600-Watt Portable Generator with COSENSE® Technology ,Orange/Black

I love this generac generator, it puts out a lot of power, it's easy to start, it's fuel injected so it runs smoother and more reliably, but there are some cons to this generator and they go as follows:Pros: Lots of power, easy to start using a key ignition, it's fuel injected so it's definitely more fuel efficient than a traditional carbureted generator, it puts out clean power compared directly to the carbureted model that's similar, it responds to power demand quickly and smoothly.Cons: it's really loud same noise output as a carbureted model, it weighs 260 Lbs dry, 300 Lbs with a full fuel tank so you won't be loading and unloading this generator by yourself.Overall it's what I would expect from a large generator***Update 3/9/23*** The generator is continuing to operate absolutely flawlessly, I have owned this generator for about a year now, I have not experienced this " parasitic electric draw during storage" or " failure to start" or have other electrical starting issues. Mine came with a perfect battery right out of the gate, and I follow the storage and maintenance instructions, I'm noticing that a lot of the negative reviews about the generator not wanting to start, are because they are not reading the owner's manual which tells you that if you're going to store this generator for longer than a few days without running it then you should keep the electric battery charger plugged into the front of the generator to both maintain the battery and the electrical systems of the generator. It includes a charger for this purpose. Anyway, I have experienced absolutely zero issues with this generator, it's on running hour 935.***UPDATE7/11/23*** Running hour 1597.6, still no problems, replaced the spark plug for the first time, this wasn't necessary, as the plug was still good, but an ounce of preventative maintenance is worth a pound of longevity. Left the generator off the battery maintainer for over 3 months while it was in storage, and when I pulled it out, and gassed it up, with a couple of primes to get the gas flowing, it started right up. Generac must have made some defective units as I still have yet to experience this parasitic electrical draw that others describe, these must be older units, as the reviews are older, so I think Generac fixed the issue with the current model. Go Generac, Thanks for the workhorse powerhouse!***UPDATE 12/3/23***I haven't had to use this generator for my company much, and my bud who's off gridding, just had his generator quit, so I let him barrow this machine, and with making him provide receipts to prove maintenance of my unit like oil changes, filter cleanings, and occasional fuel injector cleaning like Gumm-out added to the tank, he just purchased a much larger generator for his tiny home, and gave this unit back to me. He used this as his main power source for almost 6 months while he saved up to purchase a new unit and batteries and solar panels. It has well over 6000 hours on it now, AND IT STILL STARTS AND OPERATES LIKE NEW. GENERAC PUT A MINI CAR ENGINE IN THIS THING.My bud told me just how reliable this thing was for him and told me he is now forever sold on Generac! Like I said before about maintenance and following the owners manual, and an ounce of preventative maintenance is worth a pound of longevity, but also Generac for making a generator so powerful and also so reliable and so well built, it handled the Arizona summer (in the middle of the desert) like a beast. If you need a generator for your Constuction site, or you use a generator often for your work or recreation, or if your an off-gridder and need that absolute can-not-fail-you generator that puts your mind at ease to own and operate, buy this one. @8KW it's enough to do just about anything. I still can't say this enough. THANK YOU!***Update: 6/30/24***The generator started to give me issues and not run correctly, it began to stall under load, and then wouldn't want to start and stay running. Went through a whole myriad of things, took it apart and checked different components, I finally nailed down the issue, it is a fuel injected generator, and the fuel injector like any other car or motorcycle or fuel injected engine in general has a fuel injector with tiny little jets, three out of the four jets have a grain of sand in them and will not spray correctly. This is no fault of Generac. They do provide a fuel screen and a fuel filter, but somehow or another some dirt got through. Like I mentioned, this is not generac's fault at all. It's all in the environment where I live, out in the Phoenix Metro you can expect to get sand in everything. Although this generator is not currently running, it is a simple fix to get it running. I will update this review again when I either unclog the fuel injector or get a new one.

I DO BELIEVE IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL WHEN I HAVE A LOSS OF POWER. IT STARTS VERY EASY AND PROVIDES PLENTY OF WATTAGE. THIS SHOULD SOLVE MY POWER OUTAGES.

I saw all of the good reviews of this generator and jumped on buying it. I have had it for about a month and today was the first day. I tried to start it, and it would not turn on. The motor won’t even start. We even tried to jump the battery and that started it and it ran for about 10 minutes, but after that, it would not start again. I am going to try charging it overnight and then if that doesn’t work, I will replace the battery. If that still doesn’t work, I am going to try and figure out how to return it. I see that everyone that has left a low remark about this product has had similar issues. so my recommendation is to stay away from this generator. I would lean more towards a Honda. I feel like I may have wasted my time and money. So far it’s a 250 pound paperweight.

Powerful, does all that I want, easy to start. I wired up a transfer switch and all I have to do is hook up to my house and turn it all on. Have my 3 ton ac unit on it, a fridge/freezer and lights and fans for all my rooms. With everything on including freezer and fridge door open and ac cranked down low, I was only drawing about 4000 watts so less than 50% load which was my target. I do have a hard start kit on my air compressor that helps a ton too. Before I installed that, it would briefly bog the unit down when it kicked on

The generator works fine. The push button start is very easy. My only gripe is the instructions. Very limited for an expensive portable generator from a reputable company. I had to refer to the picture many times to understand what the instructions were telling me to do. I had trouble removing the gas cap since I did not know it can open by twisting either way. Most gas caps twist in one direction only.Bottom line. A good generator that could use better instructions for assembly…

I had a prob with first one they sent a replacement love it .not to much noise pretty quite, love it .

Great Value. Well made and very dependable

Generator looks sharp, but does not start after assembly. Generac's customer service line is absolutely no help - I have to take it to an independent servicer (getting the 250 lb thing there is my non-trivial problem), wait and then pay for repairs, then hope Generac will deign to cover the repairs under warranty.I'm stuck with this thing, so I'm going to try and make it work, but I'll be telling everyone I know to never buy a Generac product for the rest of my life.

Purchased product Sep 05/23. Due to delivery delays, not rec'd until Oct 04th. Assembly - no problem. Battery dead upon delivery requiring 12 hr charging with supplied charger. Conducted an initial run test. It was a rough start but eventually did run. Ran it for approx 20 minutes with no load and then stored it in garage. After 30 days decided to run another test to ensure it would be ready for next power outage. Unit would not start, even after recharging battery. Called Generac customer service, discussed the problem without resolution, and their recommendation was it would probably require warranty service at one of their service centers. Luckily for me there's one close by in USA. That's where it is now. Hopefully repair is not going to be a huge issue. So at this point, I'm extremely disappointed with this purchase and would not recommend !!! Will post an update if and when issue is resolved. (Update Jan 21/24) Service shop determined problem to be a faulty battery. Battery was replaced under warranty. Just survived 5 days without power resulting from a severe winter storm. Generator worked flawlessly. I was impressed and now am content with my Generac purchase choice.
