[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is absolutely an amazing generator—-I mean, top of the line brand, and just remarkable specs. It can run on gasoline, liquid propane, or natural gas. It offers 12500 starting watts of power and 9500 running watts. This generator gives me so much comfort that if something happens, I know we will have power and everything will okay until the power comes back!!! I highly recommend this generator— worth every single penny!!!

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

Last year after storm Sand we were without power for 13 days. I don't ever want to be in a situation like that again, Cold showers and food wasted. I had an old Volt generator that would only run 90 minuets on a fuel refill. then had to wait for it to cool down to start over again, The features of the Generac generator I purchased will run 10 hours and has an battery start. Being 73 years old that is a life saver , i should have done this sooner . I need this for the next storm. Love the product

The GP6500E is a great product for the price I paid. This is due in part to the terrific price promotion from the retailer, but I still feel that this item would be a good buy even without the promotion. There were some minor problems in assembling the unit, but once I got it started I was very pleased with its performance. There was enough power to power most everything in my house, but what most impressed me was the apparent purity of the signal. I have two UPS units in the house which didn't like the voltage from my previous generator (they gave an alarm signal and shut down), but no such problem with the GP6500E. This performance I would expect from an inverter, not from a standard portable generator. In conclusion I am very pleased.

We bought a Generac brand new & it didn’t work straight out of the box. We’ve had 2 service calls & they still can’t figure it out. We’re waiting on another part. Parts take forever to get & then you have to call & chevk bc they don’t call you. Not happy at all!

This is a very good product, easy to put into use, and I can effectively use it to run everything I need in an emergency. starts easy even though it doesn't have an electric starter. I would by it again. We live in an area where storms take out power frequently. The transfer switch was easy to install as well.

Bought the 6500E after the last ice storm and power outage for 5 days. Although I didn't have to use it for the latest winter storm (thankfully), the ease of set up and start up was great. I just ran it for a little to make sure it was gonna be ready if needed and it was everything I thought it would be. Not too loud and would easily handle my emergency backup needs.

We purchased this unit as a home back up power source to insure our furnace and well pump were operational during winter storms. I found this unit to be an easy set up for that purpose, and a whole lot more. Although the weather has been cooperative this winter so far, I've found the portability of this unit to be valuable in powering all sorts of tools and lights in my newly built pole building. I recommend this unit to anyone needing a standby power source. It's great!

I had researched different generators for use with my 5th wheel camper. I wanted a output range of 6000 - 7000 watts. In looking at the various brand that were available on the market I found that the Generac GP6500E was within the range I wanted. It had the option of battery or pull start with a battery wall charger. There was a 120/240 twist outlet that I would be able to use a twist adapter to convert to the existing power cord on the camper. The large capacity fuel tank would give me longer times between fill ups. With the additional four 120 volt outlets I could also plug in any additional electrical component outside the camper. My determining factor was that Generac makes generators of all ratings and uses and that they would have the dependability and reliability that I would need. They also have a toll free number to call for service 24/7.

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.
