RiverCityCatEase of use4/5Quality4/5Value4/57500 watt generator set-upReviewed in Wisconsin on February 8th, 2023Age: 55 to 64 |Purchased from: In-store |Originally reviewed on: PowerShot Portable Generator SPG7593E
I purchased a 7500 watt generator with electric start. After also purchasing the correct battery; (which could be more clearly defined on the exterior of the box) I brought it home and it sat in the garage for several weeks. When I finally got around to opening the box and setting up the machine I found all necessary parts in the box and the instructions fairly clear. I will say that you could just say add the FULL bottle of oil so I did not have to stop and check the level over and over. Once the oil & gas were added and the battery installed it fired right up. I haven't put it to the true test yet but so far so good.
Response from SIMPSONThat's great to hear, RiverCityCat. We are glad your 7500 watt generator fired right up & we are confident it will serve you well. Thanks for taking the time to review!

So for right now happy, happy, happy.

HinsyEasily starts, runs smoothly and it's relatively quiet.Reviewed in US on May 6th, 2026Originally reviewed on: PowerShot Portable Generator SPG3645I purchased this to use with my camper. I place it in the bed of my pickup truck and it easily runs my camper's air conditioning and other AC things with no issues. My only complaint is, with the wheels and brace installed I can't put my tonneau cover down. It's like 2" too tall. No problem if it's not raining.
