New generac generator 8000 watt XP8000E
***A true bargain! I reduced this already low price.***
This Generac XP8000E is brand new. This generator sells at Lowes for $1499. plus tax. I took it out of the box and installed the wheels. I have the original box and all that originally came with it still in the box. Pickup for this item is New Bern, North Carolina. I went on line and copied and pasted to my ad below, a review from someone who purchased this generator. He was very pleased with his new generator purchase. Please read the whole review;
I originally started off looking for a full home generator and found Generac at Home Depot but didn t see any portables. It turned out that the rep Home Depot sent me said they were loud compared to a Kohler generator.
I soon found out that Generac makes a portable model that performs very well and is said to be the second quietest on the market. When I called Generac and spoke to a sales representative, I was told they don t list their noise levels like others. She said they were not hiding anything, just that it s hard to measure noise levels because there is no standard. (Hey Generac, opportunity here, set a new standard and challenge everyone else to use the same Be the leader )
Off all the Generac Generators that I found, the XP8000e having 8000 Running Watts / 12,000 Starting Watts, includes electric start, hour meter, cord set, fold-down locking handles and maintenance kit, is the best bet compared to other Generac generators.
Note: Two XP8000e model exist, one has only an electric start [model number 0057080], the other [model number 005714] has electric and manual. Manual star as a backup is ideal. Also, when trying to decide between a Generac XP or GP portable generator, you ll want the XP.
The XP is the top of the line and produces less than 5% THD (total harmonic distortion) that work well with sensitive equipment, such as high end flat screen, computers and more.
I found the XP model at Lowe s [Generac 8000 Watt Electric Start / Manual Portable Generator (CARB)] for $1,500 and the Electric Start Only model for $1,299. This model runs at 72dB
I found the GP8000 at Home Depot for $1,299. This model runs at 72dB
