The generator is easy to use and to move around. The portability makes it useful in a number of different situations. The generator is a bit noisier than I would like, however, the convenience and ease of use out weighs this distraction. Should we experience another hurricane, we will be quite comfortable and safe. We plan to have this wired into our system so that our whole house will have power in the event of an extended outage.

I purchased this product due to several power outages in the last months. Easy set up, with the electric start makes this product above the rest. I recommend this product to anyone and everyone. I also use this when I'm building a new barn or sheds. When ever you need power away from a power source, this product will take care of all your power needs !!! Excellent Product !!

I recently purchased two GP8000E CO2 sensing Generac, one for my house and one for my Mom. Easy to put together, start, and store! They start right up and are surprisingly fuel efficient. My Mom is 71 and has no trouble starting and operating the generator! We have used it several times since June and have been very pleased!

Here in the Northeast we just got pounded with a winter blizzard, power out for 5 days on my street. Our Generac 6500 performed up to my expectations and then some. 90+ hours of straight run time and didnt skip a beat. We had this unit wired direct from our service panel to tranfer breaker panel with an outside outlet and 20' cord. 2- Frig's, heat, kitchen lights and outlets, microwave, livingroom lights and outlets, 3 bedrooms lights, office lights and outlets, garage lights, 2 bathrooms lights, cable, internet, tv..

I bought this generator because of the Oct storm. We were out for four days (not again if I can help it). I had a transfer switch installed. I have two heaters (gas), refrigerator. hot water heater (gas) kitchen lights, dinette lights, bathroom lights, hallway lights and family room outlets hooked up to the transfer switch. No problem with all of it on at the same time. I run a line to the garage refrigerator. In the evening, I ran a line from my washer/dryer to the family room outlets. Again there was no problem. The generator is outside. I closed the garage door and the door to my house (there is no discernible noise from the generator) and after a while I forget I'm on generator power. It takes forever for this generator to run out of gasoline. I rated it five stars because (so far) there is nothing this generator has a problem carrying.

I bought this generator at the suggestion of my contractor. He knows what I needed. The delivery was simple. Though you will need four men to unload if you don’t have a lift. It was delivered in good shape. It was easy to put together, though the print could be larger (need a magnifying glass). It took some figuring out. It started up super easy. Haven’t had to use it yet, but am confident it will do the job.

I had this delivered to the house. The packaging was very good. No damage. I did all the assembly within a half hour. Filled it with oil and put some gas into the tank. I used the electric start and it started up with no problems. Temp outside was less than 5 F. I bought the electric start only for my wife so she could start it up if I wasn't home. The manual provides all information needed to star and maintain the unit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Generac GP6500 portable generatoras a free sample. I think the quality is excellent. I tried it out right away to see how it performed. It started on the first pull and was able to power all the essentials in my home. I am very pleased with the performance and quality of this generator thus far. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The generac portable generator has come in real handy during our spring storms. We've had bad storm blow through our area this year and power goes out easily. My husband hooked up the generac to our fridge and a few other household things and it may our time without power so much easier. It is not very loud and it's easily to move around. When our power came back on we brought it to our sons house so they could run things Everyone's benefits from this.

The price was within or close to the many competitive brands I reviewed and researched out. I wanted an electric start so my wife could start it if needed in my absence. The main initial wattage output was very important to start the electrical appliances in my home that I feel is needed. Primarily, the well pump, two refrigerators, several room lights, TV, security system and possibly the AC/heat system if really needed. I do not have it set up yet but will soon be adding a manual transfer switch to connect this unit to. Looking forward to providing me the power I need during the next hurricane. IRMA was cruel to us. Thank you Generac !
