Bought the biggest of all, the 17,000 Watt generator some years ago, and never used it until now. Living in Florida, you never know, when you need it, and now with Hurricane Irma, we lost power for several days. Backfeed my house at the panel, and supplied power to all my A/C untis (3 unit total) exterior lighting, etc, since we were the only house among 90 inour neighborhood, with full power, A/C, lights, etc. Unit started right away, and ran for 5 days 24/7. Highly recommendended. Only wish, you could have propane option at the flip of a switch, just in case. All gas stations ran out of fuel, so it would be a nice optional feature.

Bought this generator for use as a power backup when power is lost for myself , other family members or friends . Received unit in a VERY timely matter , after installing wheel kit ( a must have ) , adding oil and gas the generator started right up , runs quite and smooth . Love the electric start and the twist Lock power cord that came with this unit , as of yet have not had to use it but pretty sure it will perform as needed , I would recommend this Generac GP6500E generator to anyone and it's a good value .

Bought this for mainly pump water and freezer during power outage. Put it together and started on first pull. Ran great. Just a little loud. Loader than a lawnmower, but worth the money. Nice to have during those ice storms. Would of giving it 5 if it wasn't so loud.

We chose the 6500E over other models due to it's many positive reviews from multiple sites and its features for the price. I especially like the number of available 20 amp outlets plus the 20 foot power cord. I specifically wanted the electric start and the automatic voltage regulation, and the rubber outlet covers are a great addition! Cons: The set-up instruction card had several minor errors and omissions. For example - the set up instructions did not mention that the fuel line was disconnected at the shut-off valve and needed to be connected by the owner. Good thing I saw it during my initial inspection. Suggestions: An onboard voltage meter (and maybe a manual voltage adjustment) would be a great addition, so the output voltage can be monitored without needing a separate meter. And it would be nice to have an onboard power meter showing amperage draw. But, for the price this model is perfectly adequate for our needs. Unfortunately, the week we received our generator, the price dropped $50. Wish I had waited one more week.

A Great Friend brought me a Generic GP6500 he just bought that he only used for 2 hours. My Coleman hit the dust during the heavy rain of Florence. House was wired for generator and the GP6500 powered my freezer, refrigerator, lights and a portable AC unit during Hurricane Florence. Power has been out for a week with no problems. Rated at 40 amps the breaker lets you know when you are turning on to many circuits that add up quickly. Using LED lights through out your house helps on the wattage load.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit was package very well and sturdy in the box. This is my fisrt time assembly a generator and this one was pretty easy. It only took about 45 minutes. I test this unit for about 4 hours for a total of five days. It is not as loyd as I thought it would be. No problem hooking up my cords. It has a twist adapter which is a plus. It also show how long you have for power. Lastly, I finally took this to a tailgating event. This works so well. Everything worked so well.

I purchased this portable unit about 3 weeks ago, and it is a wonderful generator. I do have a few issues with it though. First off, it is way to loud. I had to build a house for it about 100 ft away from the house to avoid hearing about it from my neighbors. My other issue is being able to read the fuel gauge to know how much fuel is in the tank without me having to look directly inside the tank. I had a GP3250, and it was very easy for me to read the fuel gauge, but the fuel gauge for the 7500E is not reader friendly. Besides those issues, I have to admit that it has a lot of power to keep your house powered up for a lengthy period of time.

We purchased item and it took longer than expected to receive it and that was frustrating considering the price we paid for it. We haven't got to use the product yet as we just picked it up from the store on 12/08/2021 which was more than a month since we purchased it. We will update more if we actually get to use the generator this winter more than just starting it.

Living in a remote location in North Western PA. our power was always going out and with this years bitter cold I figured it was time to purchase a generator. After speaking with a lot of people in my situation and electricians as well as the local power company it was clear a Generac was the way to go. I purchased the GP8000E. The electric company hooked up a connector to my meter that fit my 220 plug. The first time I had to use it was awesome. I plugged it into the meter pushed the start button and it powered my entire house. The only draw back was the wheel bracket on the frame broke. so I had to drag it into place from my shed as apposed to free wheeling it. Still it was pretty quite and after 7 hours of use still had almost half of a tank. I'm sold.

My company purchased this generator at the recommendation of our electrician. We have a 20,000 sq ft facility (5k office, 15k warehouse). We looked into a 45-60kw standby generator but felt the cost was too high. We decided to try this unit with a manual transfer switch for our facility. One week after installation we lost power for 2 business days. This generator ran 2 HVAC office units, 6 modine gas heaters, 25 personal computers, 3 computer servers and related hardware, office telephone, fridge, half of the office and warehouse lights and more. If we could have hooked up the transfer switch to more of the breakers I think this unit would have powered almost the entire facility. It started and ran without skipping a beat. We spent a fraction of the price quoted for a built in standby unit. We would recommend this setup to any small business.
