My electrician installed a transfer switch for my house main electrical box and recommended the 6.5 KW General (8K Starting) for backup. The 30 amp connection was purchased separately.

Bought this generator the day after Florence hit Wilmington. Ran it for 4 days. Performed flawlessly. With a little maintenance, this generator should do the trick for a long time.

Purchased this generator due to all of the freak weather events in Massachusetts. Saved the house when we lost power for 6 days due to the October snow storm. We had heat and hot water and a full kitchen to keep us safe and in our own home.

To early to tell, but seems to be a very well made genset. Runs very smooth and is no louder than my neighbors smaller unit. Pleased with this quality unit.

Bought this generator after our last hurricane. Works awesome. Can power up the whole house. Uses less gas than my old generator. Easy to start. After buying this, I had 4 relatives get the same exact generator. Highly recommended.

I'm really pleased with my Generac 6500e generator. I replaced a 14 year old unit with this one and I feel like I now have a reliable back up when the storms come and the power goes out.

product runs great does everything i want it to do 2 other friends bought same generator and both have had engine problems around 40-100 hrs fingers crossed mine holds up!

We use a big automatic Generac at the fire station. Now I have portable for home and farm. It should be a big improvement the next time the power goes out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great brand of generator. I love this one becuase it it super heavy duty and you can use it even in the harshest conditions.

We get a lot of outages and it usually 6 to 8 hours to get it back. This generator furs up on the first pull and powers everything but the AC. Can't imagine life without it!
