[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The photo shows it on its side because the wheels were being put on. However the wheels make it much easier to move around and the handle is even a better touch. The noise is not as loud as some I have heard and it was easy to start with the pull start. We plan to connect it to the house so it will run a few major appliances like the deep freezer and fridge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is reliable and versatile, I'm impressed with its features and functionality. It can run from 3 fuel sources which makes it convenient for many emergencies or when you need it most. The wattage and power is impressive. This runs my deep freezer for hours without any issues. It was easy to assemble and the wheels and handle make it easy to move around. This generator is incredible, the noise level is surprisingly low for as much power that it boasts. This is perfect for the power outages that have unfortunately become more common in this area. This is a product and brand that I highly recommend.

Compared several modals, sizes, features, the generac was the best overall. Very reliable, easy to use. Had power through hurricane for refrigerator, window a/c , most house lights, made a 4 day power outage tolerable. Had a 12 hour outage recently, I had just come home from a triple bypass, instructed my wife how to start and she got power to house in matter of minutes. Would not want to be without it.

Excellent reliability, use on job, always starting and stopping the generator.. Even dropped off of the side of a roof, and it landed up side down , still started first pull after this incident...I have replaced the pull cord once during my two years of ownership

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a powerful generator! It is very durable and a medium size, so you can move it around if needed. Easy to use and hook up to your appliances. There is some noise but half of the noise of my neighbors generator. This is a must buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great item. It us loud but not horribly loud. We hooked it up to the propane tank which it started up immediately. Great handle that bends down for storage. Many plugs to be used. A great item to have in your home for emergency. Every home should have one.

This has been a great unit right out of the box. Easy to assemble, simple easy to read starting and usage instructions, portable and enough power to maintain my home in a safe and functional state during a power outage. Easy electric start for my wife if I am away on business. Great generator, bought 2 more for my children's homes.

I bought 2 of these after Hurricane Helene. One for me and one for my mom. My moms house used theirs and was plenty of power to run almost everything except the HVAC. Assembly was straight forward and started right up. Only used it for about 10hrs before her power came back. She was out for a total of 6 days. I never started mine because my power came back while I was picking them up lol.

I picked up the GP 6500E generator today. All parts were present and the assembly was easy. The unit started right up with the electric start. The generator appears to be well built and has good operating directions. It ran my power tools without a blip. The wheels and pull handle makes moving the generator on the ground easy but it isn't lightweight. It takes two people to lift it into a pickup. A separate battery charger is included as the electric start battery is not directly charged from the generator. I'm impressed so far and look forward to many years of usage.

I have given this generator a 5 star rating based on my experience with it so far, and so far I haven't needed to use it for the reason it was purchased; to supply emergency power during electrical outages. That having been said, I am impressed with what I have seen so far. The unit arrived in perfect condition, and assembly was easy. I was concerned by the advertised weight at first, but the carton was easily handled by two people, and after assembly, it is easy to move from storage to the driveway where it will be used. The battery was charged when it arrived, and it started right up and ran steadily for about 15 minutes. I had minor difficulty adding the engine oil, in that I had to hunt around for a long necked funnel to use to pour the oil into the unit, no big deal. And, the instructions indicate that you should check the oil level as oil is being added, so as not to overfill the unit. I did this, only to read later that the recommended oil capacity is 1 quart, and exactly one quart of oil was supplied. It would have saved me a few minutes if the instructions said "Pour the 1 quart of enclosed oil into the oil fill plug". Also, no big deal. Finally, it would be nice to have a compartment or something on the unit to hold the battery charger. I solved that problem with a bag attached to the frame with zip ties. If this is all I can find to complain about, I would say that I'm pretty satisfied. I trust that this unit will perform as well when the need arises as it has so far.
