Loud, good run time, not perfect

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2020

Style: XD5000EVerified Purchase

This generator is significantly louder than the equivalent power gas generator. It is also about as large as a 10k gas generator. However, it's diesel, which is convenient for some uses, and it has a large tank. It's over 24 hours of run time at near full load. I was not able to start this generator with the recoil starter and I am a reasonably strong male. I am not convinced that it can be done; I think it's just to shut the valves for long term storage (see manual). Also it doesn't come with wheels so you have to buy a portability kit and it doesn't come with a battery which is necessary, even if you could pull start it, for it to run. This powered my equipment (dehumidifiers) with no issues after a few hundred hours. There is no idle down feature; it runs at 3600 rpm at all times and is about the same loudness at all loads. This generator is quite expensive for what it is, but if you need diesel or long run times (I need both) than its worth the price.

Solid unit.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2016

Style: XD5000EVerified Purchase

So, a couple of things about this generator. It is a SERIOUS portable generator; it's big, heavy, holds a lot of fuel, runs a long time and makes lots of power. I immediately ordered a wheel kit for it and needed help getting it in and out of the back of my truck. It looks like it's going to be a good solid, basic generator. I like it; especially the Yanmar diesel motor. On the down side, it has a fuel cut-off solenoid that requires power to hold it open. So, while this unit has a pull starter and does not come with a battery, it will NOT run without a battery. Second, even with the battery installed, pull starting does not appear to be quite as straightforward as they make it sound. I followed the instructions exactly and pulled about 50 times to no avail, then finally pushed the electric start and it fired right up. Interesting to note, it seems to fire on about the 3rd revolution with the electric starter; the pull starter might pull through about two revolutions... Finally, and I knew this going in, these are not quiet motors; so be forewarned. Oh, and as others have mentioned, the "auto-throttle" is basically wide open.

It runs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 13, 2017

Style: XD5000EVerified Purchase

When Harvey came through South Texas, my 5700 watt McCullah wouldn't start. Got the little 3500 watt Champion out and had that going, it only puts out 110volts though. Ordered the Generac 6864. It was delivered on time, power had been restored by the time it got there though, big thank you to GVEC. I have hooked it up and did a test run using the 240 volt/30amp outlet through my interlock on my main power box. We are rural and have a water well, this runs the well just fine as well as all the lights in the house, all LED, and all ceiling fans. It did not like our 5 ton central ac unit, wasn't expecting it to run that and it didn't. Microwave worked well, two burners on the electric range are doable, that put the heaviest load on the generator, pulled the engine down, but it kept going.
As for the generator itself, it is heavy, the wheel kit is needed with this unit if you plan to move it around. Pull start with the compression release is difficult, electric start works well. The battery is a lawn tractor 330 CCA battery. This has to be installed so the fuel cutoff system works, will not start at all without the battery, and battery is not included. Next is to build an enclosure to help quiet it down. All in all, I like the generator, will not have the issues that ethanol creates in gas gens anymore plus the longer run time will make it easier on my wife if she has to use it when I am not home.

Do not purchase this generator!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2019

Style: XD5000EVerified Purchase

I purchased the generator in June of 2018 from CPO Outlets. It has been in the repair shop twice since the purchase for a total of 6 months. It is still in the repair shop as I write. Generac has terrible customer service, they keep giving the repair shop ideas about how to repair the generator, but none have been successful as yet. The generator is warrantied for 2000 hours. The first time it went to the shop it had 500 hours, the second time 1200 hours. The first time it went in for repairs was when the generator separated from the diesel engine, the bolts had not been properly torqued. When it separated it sheared metal from the impellers and embedded them in the wall next to the generator. The second time the generator quit producing any wattage at all and that's how it sits.
When it first arrived and I unpackaged the generator and looked it over the first thing I noticed was that the hose connectors were of different types. That only made sense if they ran out of one style and field engineered the rest to get it out the door.
I will be asking for a refund with my next phone call. I will update this review when the dust settles.

Generator was just what I was looking for

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2021

Style: XD5000EVerified Purchase

Hard to believe couldn't find with box stores and found just what I was looking for at Amazon. Everything was easy plus delivered to my doorsteps. This was a replacement and fit right in. Noise is typical for this type of generator.

It started fine after I got a battery

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2018

Picture is deceptive that it showed a battery. Battery is required for it to operate and It does not come with one as pictured. It started fine after I got a battery.

Warranty

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2020

Style: XD5000EVerified Purchase

Out of the box and the fuel tank leaks at a factory weld. Have been trying to get this repaired through the Generac warranty coordinators and they have yet to fine someone to make to evaluate the portable generator much less make the repair. Took to one of the repair shops, only one they (generac) could locate, generator sat at their shop for over a month - vendor eventually called me and told me their license to do warranty work with Generac had expired and for me to pick up the generator. I did so and now have a generator sitting at my home that has run approx 1 minute since purchased.
