Great unit for the $

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.

just purchased so can't say good or bad.

There are a lot of exposed wires that could be better enclosed so the chance of them catching on anything and getting damaged. Starts easy, easy to put together.

This model has the power and features to last

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.

awesome

Awesome unit. My only suggestion is to change the attachment for the wheels. The clips supplied tend to come off and of course the wheels fall off as well.

Easy to run

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!!!

Great quality for a great price!

Bought this for hurricane season. Have read tons of great reviews on it, and will be glad to have it in case of a hurricane or other loss of power event. Can't beat the quality for the price.

Crank- no Start ongoing issue

Bought this generator in May, 2018. Worked fine for a few short power outages. Live in rural area and need Generator for power outages as we are on a well and have no water when power out. In Sept 2021, we had a major hurricane come through and had no power for four days. As soon as power went out, we started Generac and it ran great for about 48 hours. At 3 in the morning, it stopped. I checked, fuel good, oil good and had been overall for only 76 hours per meter. Could crank it it but would not keep running. Took it to tech who could not fix it. Paid the $250 and sent to next tech. He could not fix it, paid over $500 for all the parts replaced Next, sent it to "Certified Generac" Tech. After months, was finally told it could not be fixed. According to Tech, Generac refused to assist him any further. After only 76 hours of run time, I now have a 450 lbs anchor as it is useless. Would love to have it working but can't afford to spend anymore when Generac will not help with a known issue for these models. (See YOuTube for verification) DO NOT BUY #Generac Cranknostart

Really well built

I bought this during the Bay Area power shut off and it's made my life a lot easier. It was easy to set up and it starts with ease. It's been running a bunch of things in my house with no problem. It ran about 10 hours on a tank of gas. My only criticism is that I wish it had a better muffler or some type of insulation as it's nosier than I thought it would be.
