Generac 7042 22Kw Standby Generator - Clean and Best in Class Power Quality - Reliable Power - User-Friendly Control

Bought the Generac 7042 in summer 2017. Installed by pros, with 200 amp automatic transfer switch. Does everything Generac says it will do, exactly they way they say. Starts itself every other Saturday at noon to recharge the starter battery, circulate the oil, warm up to disperse condensation. Runs about 12 minutes or so. Fired up every time we lost power, maybe a half dozen short periods that first year. But then, Hurricane Michael. No power for 6 days. The Generac 7042 ran flawlessly for six days straight. I had to take it offline at the 100 hour mark to change the oil and filters. Brought it back online, and it fired itself up again and kept running until power was restored. Completely pleased with our Generac 7042 Guardian 22kw standby generator.

I own a Generac Stand-By generator. I paid over $4500 for the unit in 2017. To date (11.2019) the unit has 650 hours. The unit has faulted multiple times and been complete down a total of 47 days, until a dealer could order parts, have them delivered and then come out and repair the unit. The unit failed once costing $3500 in parts (luckily under warranty) and recently a 2nd time costing over the units total value! We have waited for over a month for the dealer parts and service tech to get out there to repair it. It's been a horrible Generac experience. I have invested countless hours on the phone with Generac robot humans telling me they cannot do anything.

my 20kw generac had about 150 hrs. on it but it only had a 3 yr. warranty and was 6yrs. old generac said i wasSOL i now can look right thru the engine end.
