I just got this generator and so far it seems to be a workhorse. It was easy to put together and get ready to use the first time. I still need to get my transfer switch wired up and then I'll be ready.

I start and run my generator once a month regardless for 15 minutes. How do you keep the battery charged on this model portable generator. I am on my 3rd battery and have had 2 batteries completely fail in 4 years. Thanks

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.

Decided to go with this unit instead if a whole house generator.This unit will supply the power we want plus it's portable. A lot cheaper that installing a whole house generator.

This generator ran perfectly and powered what we needed during our last ice storm. I have 1500 sq ft and we could run our water well, water heater and lights and receptacles.

I really like this generator. I only have one concern and that is the motor runs at a fairly high rpm with no electrical load. 8m not sure if that is normal operation or if something needs to be adjusted.

Great value for the price. Have used it 4 times since purchased in 2012. I use it to energize the entire power panel so we can use water (well), fridge, stove, lights and AC. It's a bit noisy, so this is the one improvement I would suggest.

We use our generator for special events and for backup purposes, not very noisy for its size/power, fuel efficient and very reliable, I would highly recommend the GP17500E!

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.
