Overview
Generac built the GP8000E CO as a gas-powered portable generator with a four-stroke engine and electric start for residential backup. Five outlets are on the panel, and the generator ships with an owner's manual.
A large tank and long listed run time suit outages that last overnight, and electric start saves effort. The discontinued flag is the key drawback, and the listing also gives no CO feature detail despite the model name.
Who it's for
A homeowner who wants to run essential circuits and appliances from one engine during an outage. Buyers who need active support, or portability for camping, should look at current models.
Pros and cons
- High starting and running output
- Large fuel tank
- Five outlets on the panel
- Owner's manual included
- Marked as discontinued
- Very heavy frame
- Maintenance steps not described
Performance notes
Running watts set the continuous load, with the higher starting watts covering motor start-up surges. A larger tank and a bigger engine mean longer run time at moderate loads. Electric start removes the pull cord from the process.
