[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were fortunate to be selected as part of a Generac campaign and were given the opportunity to try out the Generac GP6500E TF generator. After putting it to the test, we can confidently say: this generator is absolutely outstanding! Watch my video you can hear the noise level. For such a large generator it’s not loud, loud!
Compared to our old (small, little dude) DuroStar generator, the difference is incredible. See my side by side comparison of the two generators. The old one was unable to power our whole home. Mainly had it to keep the fridge on and perhaps a lamp. As you can see from the photos, the Generac is much more compact, yet it delivers so much more power and efficiency. It’s designed to handle major loads — from running a huge RV to keeping an entire home powered. In fact, we’re currently in the process of wiring our home to connect it directly, so during the next round of severe North Texas thunderstorms or tornado-related outages, we’ll be fully prepared.
What truly impressed us:
• Tri-Fuel Capability: The GP6500E TF runs on natural gas (NG), liquid propane (LP), or gasoline, giving us incredible flexibility depending on what resources are available during an emergency. Need different ways to be able to source power!
• Reliable Startup: It starts up easily and quickly every time, which is critical when you’re dealing with unexpected power outages. As you can see just the push of a button.
• Quality and Efficiency: Generac has a stellar reputation, and after experiencing this machine firsthand, we understand why. It’s thoughtfully engineered, highly efficient, and feels durable enough to last for years.
• Easy Assembly: We had it fully set up in about 15 minutes. The instructions were clear, and we also watched a couple of their setup videos on YouTube, which were incredibly helpful.
• Peace of Mind: With a young child at home, having dependable backup power isn’t just convenient — it’s essential. This generator gives us the confidence that we’ll stay powered and safe, even when the grid goes down.
Our close friends down the road are gonna get one now! They came over and checked it out. They have kids too. So having power is important for them as well. Our power grids out here and very unreliable. One night all it took was someone hitting one pole in our town to knock out all the subdivisions power.
Even though we didn’t purchase this unit ourselves, we would absolutely invest in Generac products in the future based on this experience. The GP6500E TF has exceeded our expectations in every way. We can now rest easy knowing that no matter how bad the weather gets, we’ll have the power we need to stay comfortable and safe. Love the solar options they have on their website! We’re campers so definitely gonna get one of those. I need to crockpot it in the forest!!
Thank you, Generac, for selecting us to be part of this campaign and for delivering such an incredible, reliable product!
