Bought the 6500 in 2015 after losing power for 5 days after a storm. I went with Generac because of the trusted name and reviews. Recently lost power in a winter storm for two days. This baby ran for 48 hours straight through a transfer switch and powered my heat, two refrigerators, three tv's, all my lights no problem! Best $800.00 i ever spent.

This generator works great and I got it for a great price on sale. I havn't used it much, but it starts right away and seems to have a lot of power. The only complaint I have is that getting the cotter pins in for the wheels is a bit hard how they have them positioned. Other than that the generator seems to be great so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Y'all!! This generator is huge! Built to last and so quiet to use! Being able to use 3 fuels makes it accessible! Was so easy to assemble and easy to maneuver with its handles and wheels! It powers our big farm house with ease! Definitely going to be a big help during power outages or whenever we need added/extra power!

The.instructions for assembly were easy to follow. The instructions were straight forward with all parts included. The generator started on the second pull and worked flawlessly. I feel confident the generator will help keep my family comfortable during an extended power outrage. Having the generator and being able to connect it to the house is very convenient.

Purchased to replace a 12 year old Generac 6500 that I use for emergency power. As I live along the Gulf Coast it doesn't take a hurricane for us to loose power. Ran 8 days on generator power Zeta and the ol' Generac didn't miss a beat. After quick final assembly, oil and fuel this new unit fired up on the second pull. Looking forward to not having to concern myself about power loss for another 13 years!

I did a lot of on line research before my purchase. I found this unit on sale for an incredibly low price that pretty much made the purchase a no brainier compared to the other Generators on the market. I haven't had the need to use it yet but do start it up once a month as per instructions. It's very easy to start. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is a little noisy.

Bought this almost a year ago, worked well, although I only had to use it the one time then. Power company trimmed all the trees over the lines last week, so I don't know if I will ever need it again. Glad to have the b/u though. I know it will work next time because it is a Generac

Bought this Generator used with 100 hours in it (4 days of use) got a great price and looks and works like new! I can run everything in house, all lights, electric stove (not oven), heat (furnace) & hot water heater. Haven't tried to run the central air unit yet but the heat and hot water is more important, anyway I ran everything with no hesitation or strain on generator. I gave it a 4 on features because I wish it had a voltage meter on it otherwise all 5's! Full tank of gas you should get 8+hours run time with everything I described above, I Love this Generator and now ready for any outage, may not need for 3 years but will be ready when it happens.

Have installed and maintained Generac Whole home generators. So I am familiar with the quality , ease of Operation and maintenance of Generac products. Bought this for home backup After electrical outage. And with ice storm on its back fully anticipate using it. Am pleased with what I've seen and will add another review if I use it with my thoughts on product.

I received this item early last spring. I got it to be used in case of an extended power outage which is very rare for my service area. But since I have a grinder pump for my septic, I could have water from the local tower but wouldn't be able to flush without electricity. The unit was packaged and shipped very well. I finally unpacked and assembled it in late July. The assembly was very easy and the unit started on the second pull. I ran it for about a half hour but have not had to use it since. I did install an outside receptacle that I have wired into my main panel. So I'm ready. It is hard to give a review of something that you haven't had to use, but based on my observations as a mechanical design engineer, and from the Generac reputation, I have much confidence. When and if I actually use this generator, I update this review.
