I've only had to use the generator twice due to power outages, but it ran all the lights, two refrigerators (and freezers) and the 1.5 horse well pump perfectly. However, it is a bit loud.

I purchased this unit to power my home in case of a power outage. Hard to find a unit for this price with this much power. Easy to assemble and seems well built. Have not used it yet so really cant review the functionality.

Purchased the generator as a back up during bad weather or general power outages. Very happy with the product, and ease of operation. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a quality product that will get the job done.

Just lost power for 3 days. So glad I bought this generator. Ran the whole house. Great product. Price was reasonable. Should have done this years ago. To me the generator paid for itself running the house for these 3 days.

The machine i have only has .5 hrs that right half of an hour and metal fuel tank is completely rusted out and now carburetor needs to be replaced as well. I want a plastic tank for the machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generac GP6500 is a very heavy generator nearly 200 pounds but it came in great packaging without any damage and is portable.. It was easy to assemble and runs great. Highly recommended.

The 6500E has sufficient power to provide for the essentials of this household. It has the ease of starting to fill in within the time constraints of an emergency. It should meet our needs for years to come.

So far I love this generator. I love the start, run, stop switch. Everything is so easy to operate. Smooth and quiet running compared to other generators.

This 17500 generac generator is ideal for our needs it has all the features I was looking for. And the price was within our budget. If you are looking for a powerful and economic generator this is the one to get

Easy to use. Love it! Runs my whole house. Lights, refrigerator, furnace, well pump.. my house is 1700 sq ft. Only complaint is the gas gauge gets condensation which makes it hard to read how much fuel you have. Wish I bought it years ago!!!
