Generac GP5500E Portable Generator Features

Long Run Times so you are able to Power Through Extended Outages

With its large fuel tank, this generator keeps going for up to 13.4 hours on a single tank. This means fewer interruptions for refueling and more continuous power when you need it during storms or at remote job sites.

Effortless Electric Starting and Recoil start

Say goodbye to struggling with pull cords! The easy electric start with battery backup ensures a quick and simple start every time. And if the battery is low, you can always rely on the recoil start.

Know the Power usage and Fuel level and Avoid Surprises

Stay informed with the easy-to-read fuel gauge, which keeps you on top of how much fuel you have to gauge how much power you can supply to your equipment or essentials. This helps prevent the generator from running out unexpectedly.

Move it Smoothly: Heavy-Duty Wheels for Easy Transport

Transporting your generator has never been easier. The tough, never-flat wheels make it a breeze to move the GP5500E across various surfaces, from your garage to the campsite.

Engine Protection System That Extends life time

The low-oil shutdown is a smart safeguard for the engine. If the oil runs low, the generator will shut down automatically. You can expect to get the most of your equipment.

Flexible Power access: Lots of outlets for All Your Devices

The GP5500E is equipped with two 120V GFCI-protected outlets and a 120/240V twist-lock outlet. This gives you the flexibility to power a variety of devices, from household appliances to power tools.

Advanced Carbon Monoxide detection Offers Real Safety

Protect yourself from the dangers of carbon monoxide with the CO-sense® technology. It monitors CO levels and automatically shuts down the generator if unsafe conditions are detected, adding a layer of safety.
