Bought this for mainly pump water and freezer during power outage. Put it together and started on first pull. Ran great. Just a little loud. Loader than a lawnmower, but worth the money. Nice to have during those ice storms. Would of giving it 5 if it wasn't so loud.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GP6500 Pull Start, COS W/Cord 49 St is a beast, simply stated. This thing is powerful and it shows in its size. It hooks up so easily and really is ready to use as soon as you get out of the monsterous box! It is easy to read instructions too. You can power multiple things around your house easily and for hours. I live in a hurricane path near the Gulf and this will come in handy for years to come. It does weigh 200+ lbs so have someone with muscles to help you out. Once its out of the box its very easy to get around using its wheels. I am in love with this machine!

Bought a GP3600 model today. We lost our electricity in a storm 4 days ago. Easy to assemble, started right up and is powering our fridge & some lights. Nice smaller unit. Very portable & not very loud. 4-20 amp duplex plugs & 1-30 amp locking plug. Not a bad value if it holds up.

Bought GP15000E after extensive research. Because of demand, it took almost four weeks to receive it and Generac transfer switch. Worth the wait. Both were reasonably easy to set up. I store the generator inside garage, but suggestions for shelter when it is being used outside would be appreciated. There are some slight differences in operating instructions between the generator and transfer switch manuals.

i purchased a GP6500E as a replacement of a generator that was impossible to obtain parts for and was pull start. At 79 years old an electric start was necessary. Home Medical equipment makes it a requirement for power all the time. it is easy to move around and ready in a moment. the Generac dealer put some fuel in it and ran through the starting procedures warning me about safety issues.

A third storm power loss this year and my old generator simply gave up. I am very pleased with the purchase of the Generac. It has the power to run several circuits that my house is wired to be run by a backup generator. It powers my well pump, refrig, freezer, hot water tank, and several light circuits. Its economical to run and easy to start with the battery back pack. My only con, is the oil fill is a little tight to fit a quart bottle.

This is a great generator for our entire house. No shortage of power and seems to be built solid. I really like the fact that it came with a battery charger to ensure its always ready to go. It's a little loud but not outrageous. Great generator dollar for dollar. We are ready for another ice storm with this Generac.

I am very satisfied with my purchase of my GP6500E generator. It was money well invested. The quality and performance of this Generac generator is great. The installation and startup directions were very easy to follow for someone like me that is not to keen on the mechanics of putting something together. The motor is not too noisy at all, we can barely hear that our generator is on at all when working. I will definitely recommend this product to all my family. I am getting ready to purchase a Generac Home Standby Generator in the next few months.

Last winter was an easy one here in the east. I bought this product after some internet searching. I was told at Home Depot that it would be 6-8 weeks before it would be delivered. To my surprise I got it in 1 week. Set up was a snap, and all was right with the world. Now waiting for a black-out. Didn't happen until July. 14 hours without power. Fired up the Gen and turned on all that I needed. With the exception of the somewhat loud muffler system, I have no complaints whatsoever. As I put in the review summary, great for the money. I looked at cheaper ones, but was willing to spend a few more bucks for something that got great reviews and ratings from other owners. Well worth looking at a Generac. Plus I spent about $100 more for the Electric start just in case I was not home when a problem occurs to make it easier for my wife to just push a button and light up the house. Ain't love grand!!!

In December of 2013 we had really bad storm, we lost power for three days we had no power in the house everything went bad, so we went and got a Generac Genitor and we haven't had another storm or power outage since. We also have a Generac Power washer.
