The Generac Guardian 10,000-watt home standby generator is one of the most affordable automatic standby generators on the market today. Featuring a newly designed alternator that can start a three-ton air conditioner with power to spare, this generator will give you the backup power you need when the grid goes down.
At the heart of the generator is a 530 cc 18 HP Generac OHVI (Overhead Valve Industrial) engine, the only air-cooled engine designed specifically for generators. This engine offers the finest lubrication technology available by providing instantaneous disbursement of lubricant to all engine parts. It also features an automotive style spin-on oil filter for easy maintenance. The generator also has an electronic governor, which maintains steady speed and eliminates voltage drop when loads are applied. This, as well as the automatic voltage regulator, provides a smooth rate of electricity, which is especially important for sensitive electronic devices such as computers. The engine offers one of the longest life expectancies in the industry, with over 3,000 hours of runtime.

Like all Guardian standby generators, the Generac 10LP/8.6NG Guardian home standby generator can operate on clean-burning natural gas or LP gas service. This provides you with unlimited runtime during extended utility power failures and meets all EPA emissions requirements. The engine consumes approximately 1.93 gallons per hour of LP gas, and 156 cubic feet per hour of natural gas.
Maintenance is a breeze, thanks to the generator's convenient design features. A hinged top and removable front panel offers quick and easy access for maintenance and servicing, and a new textured, powder coat paint process provides consistent coverage and better bonding to seams and exposed edges providing, which translates to a durable, long-lasting, tough finish that can withstand the elements. The enclosure also includes key locks for safety and sound-absorbing panels for exterior noise reduction. The generator measures 48-by-24-by-28-1/4 inches (LxWx H) and weighs 375 pounds. The generator is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.

- GUARDIAN BAD CHOICE FOR GENERATOR
- 7,000 watt Guardian Generator professionally installed! Failed to come on at intervals. Serviceman come and company instructed serviceman to check ground wire to metal. Serviceman scraped paint from metal and reconnected it. Tested it, started OK. Next interval start failed after 3 tries. Called service and have been advised that the next visit they would install More reviews
- Glad to have this generator, but...
- I purchased this generator from a local dealer without the standard transfer switch (instead I upgraded to a 100A whole house switch so I did not have to pick the circuits to be on the generator). Overall, it works great, but my only complaint is that it seems to have a hard time maintaining a steady voltage, which results in my UPS's (on my computers) to cycle wildly on and off as the voltage More reviews
- One of the best purchases I made
- We live out in an unincorporated area where power lines are above ground and there are many trees. We regularly have power outages. We also have downed power lines in storms and sometimes its days before we get power back. This generator is awesome and has paid back for itself in saved hotel bills - we never have to run around to get More reviews
- Generac Guardian Standby Generator
- Great product. Easy to install and works just as the instructions said it would. The only thing I would change is the surface mount circuitbreaker box to a recessed box. I'm 99% satisfied. More reviews
