Love the product ,i purchased this generator right after a recent storm .it ran really well and then started giving an error on the co2 sensor. I now need to take it to an authorized repair shop. Strange because the generator was out in the open .it was only 1 day after purchase

The generator arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was outstanding. It took about 20 minutes from the time it was it was uncrated until it was running. It was connected to my 2100 square foot home and it ran the whole house. That included a 5 ton AC, electric clothes dryer, lights, ceiling fans, chest freezer, refrigerator, water well pump, TV's and yes even the microwave...................the whole house. It never "bogged" down or missed a beat. Noise is moderate....but with doors and windows closed with the TV on I never noticed it. It came with an extra air filter, fuel filter, some Sta-Bil fuel treatment and 2 spark plugs which I thought was a very nice touch. It is heavy but well balanced and easy to move about. Great product for a reasonable price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator was fairly easy to put together, the wheels roll this generator around with ease also handle makes it very easy to help wheels move. I love this product is very portable, this generator looks to be very heavy duty. This generator has a generous amount of 3 prong plugs, that have a rubber cover to keep these plugs in great condition when not in use. It has a hour meter which is pretty awesome to let you know your aproximate running time. This generator is very easy to start and can be transported in vehicle if needed. This product is definately great if there is a emergency and you need light etc. This generator is very well made of hard metals and hard plastics, all bolts hold parts securely in place. I love the directions are written clearly on generator no fumbling through thousands of pages, it has everything from dangers to warnings and pictured instructions how to properly function device. You can also visibly see what every button and switch is for so there is no confusion. This generator is brightly colored on top so I can definately spot this generator in my garage with no stress or searching. I used generator for a t.v and a couple lights and it worked great had a long runtime and was very surprised how much poewr this generator has. I am very happy with this product I would definately recommend to others.

There are two minor suggestions to improve the handling of the generator. One: The handle is too high for a person of average height. In order to move the generator I have to bend my arms. Two: The supports in the rear to balance the generator are made from very thin sheet metal easily bent. Yoram Manor

Have owned this unit for 16 years. Very particular about maintenance, so it has never let me down, always starts first try. Big enough to power entire house, including central a/c. Ran for 55 hours straight in Hurricane Irma 2017. Annually, just before Hurricane season, do oil & filter, spark plugs & air filter. Only store with non-ethanol fuel, and run carburetor dry at shutdown. Lives in garage under a large cover, looks like day I bought it.

We purchased our generator just before hurricane Helene came through as our older generator of 20 years stopped working. The new unit worked fine for the week we were without power but started dripping some oil the last two days. After speaking to Generac and then taking it to an authorized repair dealer we were without the unit for almost six months due to no part available. Thankfully we didn’t need the unit as we never lost power during that time but that is way too long to wait for a repair.

The generator was ready to gas up and start up when I picked it up at the dealer. It started immediately on the very first try and ran like a top. We installed the transfer switch and tested the generator with the same load I would expect during a power outage. It performed flawlessly! I have a good comfort feeling knowing we will be comfortable during our next outage.

We have had a lot of power outages in the past year. I had a small generator, but wouldn't handle everything, I would have to shut off things then turn on things. With the New bigger model I can run everything ! Easy to put together, easy to run ! So glad I made this purchase !!!! My small generator is a General, had great experience with it, so that is why I recommend General !!!!

I just had the generator wired to my house and the electrician and I ran a test. It ran everything in the house. It won't run the heat pump or furnace, but that's o.k., it will keep us from going to a hotel and the contents of the refrigerator /freezer won't go bad.

After researching and using other products, such as Honda. I could not help but know that my GP6500 is the best bang for the buck! I know the dependability of generac having owned one in the past ( used it as an enticement on sale of my previous home). This particular model will also give a surge of power when increase of load is needed . With proper maintenance there is no reason it should not last a very long time. Very comforting to know the dependability of the generac name. Living in Florida having dependable back up power is essential. Sleeping better knowing I now have it!
