Best Buy Generac-5623-Portable-Powered-Generato

I can't say enough good thigs about my dealings with Amazon, I purchased a Generac 5623 8000 watt generator this past Monday the 31st after a freak snow storm left our area without power. I ordered it Monday morning and it was delivered Wednesday at 1:30 right to my front door, within minutes it was in place working.

The transfer switch I also ordered was delivered Tuesday afternoon. The generator is working fine with no problems, I have powered my oil fired furnace, oil fired hot water, well, refrigerator and family room with no issues.


I just received it yesterday. Took a few minutes to set up (attaching wheels, handles, adding oil and gas).

Started first pull. I tested all of the 120V sockets with a High Power drill and all seems fine. If I have any problems in the future, I will update this review.

Shipping company was right on time. Estimated between 10am & 2pm. Showed up at 10:05am. The two gentlemen were very courteous and placed it in the backyard for us (it weighs about 200lbs).

I rolled it out of the garage, checked the oil and put in 1 gallon of gas. After a few pulls, it started up. I plugged in my pool filter and it ran for over 3 hours.

Remember, you should periodically run your generator so it will always be ready in an emergency. This also removes any possibility of having stale gas in the carb which will eventually gum it up.
