Generac generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Generac generator is a tri fuel generator i like that you can use gasoline or propane or natural gas it also has a CO sensor that shuts off the generator if it detects carbon monoxide you can start it with a push button or a pull rope it is not very noisy it is easy to assemble and easily rolls where ever you need it

Runs when you need it!!

Bought this to replace an older one I gave to my son, ran like a champ for years. The new one was purchased because of the Deracho that went through our area Benton Co. Iowa, August 10, 2020. Finally found one 75 miles away in Cedar Falls. First oil change 41hrs, second change at 109 hrs. The unit ran continuous for 187 hrs. straight! One pull start every time. The unit ran our 28,00 sq. ft. home, AC, frig, freezer, lights etc. Excellent piece of equipment and reliable! Never been happier. Thanks, Lee

Poor Quality, not recommended

Very poor. Bought GP6500 just after Helene last year. Took 2 days and a lot of energy (it gave me a good workout pulling the starter) to get it to start. I tried leaving a review then at Generac's website using the link they provided, that didn't work either. I bought another generator, better quality, different brand, for reliability.

First time Generator Purchase

Bought the Generac 6500E as a back up for my home. I live in New England and Power outages during the winter can be frequent. Spent 3 weeks without power the year before last and Swore that wouldn't happen again. Fortunately Did not loose power this year, but I am prepare now for the future. Product is reasonably priced, starts right up with the push of a button and runs without a hiccup. Only thing is I wish that it gave the option for alternative fuels, such as propane. Would be a nice back up incase gas stations are closed.

For 50 hours then nothing

Bought this unit to get us through the storm last year. It did it's job well for the first 50 hours, then it quite running. It won't start and run. Pretty sure it's the electronics, the CO2 sensor. Saw a U tube video of the exact model doing the exact thing. Bad unnecessary CO2 sensor. So it sits there broken waiting for me to find a shop, time, and help to load it.

Awesome Generator

Great quality product as expected from Generac! Runs everything I need during a power outage with ease! After buying portable Generac I'm even more convinced to purchase a standby down the road! Then I'll be able to camp and tailgate exclusively with my GP6500!

This product quit working

It only ran for 4 hours and stopped producing ac power to our house. When we needed it, it failed. I called and was given a number of a dealer that could fix it. It is now in the shop. I am waiting for it to return, fixed I hope. After my experience with this generator I would NOT recommend anyone buy one.

Great Features

Good value for the money. Will take stress away from power outages. Protect my home from water freezing in pipes and damages thereafter during winter months. Comfort for family during outages. Can't rely on Power Company to get power back in reasonable timeframe, less than one day. Have had outages lasting 1 - 3 days. Power Company continues to get worse every year due to their lack of maintenance, outage prevention, manpower reduction.

Recommend the GP8000E to power a home

The GP8000E works well for running our whole house. We had an outage for 2 days and were able to run our whole house without any issues. We have a well water pump, AC, refrigerator, freezer, lights, etc. We did not encounter any issues. The portability works well for moving and storage.
