I received the XT 8000 added the provided oil, added gas and it fired right up (with factory precharged battery) and ran for 1 hour powering 2 500 watt halogen work lights (which only lit one bar on power meter) and it purred like a kitten, well lion. It is not overly loud considering its massive 10,000 surge watts and 8,000 running watts. Nice control board,hour meter, power output meter, covered plugs and the idle control is nice for the times you need power intermittently, idles down to save on fuel and sound. The included wheel kit makes the weight of the machine manageable.The extension cord that comes with it is nice and heavy duty. Overall the XT 8,000 seems built very solid and looks great and with the Generac name should last many many years. Thanks Generac.

The generator is a good quality the only problem I had with it is whoever welded the handle brackets on has put all the weld on the bracket when I picked up the welder with a handle of course it come right off the auto idle works if you pick up on The Wire seems to be no broken wires are loose wires but doesn't work on its own unless you pick up the wires

Followed the easy installation requirements, start up was instant, ran great, lost power to the house for 4.5 hours. Generator handled the entire 3400 square foot home. It is loud, but most generators are.

Hooked it up when I got it. Powered the furnace and everything else in the home with only using half power. Did not try with the washer or dryer however. But 2 fridges, one freezer, tv, everything was working. A little loud, but it’s a generator. Came perfectly packed. Did lots of research and bought a generator from a generator company.

Easy assembly , Filled with oil used pull rope to turn engine over several times as I let battery charge . After charging for a while filled with gas pulled rope few times to prime carb. Used electric starter didn't even turn over a full turn and it fired right off . Like the idle control switch for break in . This is a very nice generator. Ran for about a hour will do it again tomorrow . Will be ready for the biden BROWN OUTS here in the Sowthwest .
