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!

Took unit right out of the box, added gas and oil and one pull, started right up. Had plenty of power to power up what I needed. Ran it for six hours straight. Saved my contents in fridge, freezer and keep my sump pump running. Wife asked if it could run the coffee maker. Yep it did. Well worth the purchase price!

I bought this during hurricane season since my other generator did not put out power anymore,it started great but shut down 15 min. later, I can restart it, but it kept shutting off every few minutes. The CO2 sensor is just too sensitive. You can't have it near anything pretty much out in the open. It's kinda hard when it's raining and you can't even run it under a tarp other than that, I guess it's a good machine. Hopefully it will start up for me next Hurricane season, I would give it a five star if there is a way to disconnect that CO2 sensor and not void warranty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were fortunate to be selected as part of a Generac campaign and were given the opportunity to try out the Generac GP6500E TF generator. After putting it to the test, we can confidently say: this generator is absolutely outstanding! Watch my video you can hear the noise level. For such a large generator it's not loud, loud! Compared to our old (small, little dude) DuroStar generator, the difference is incredible. See my side by side comparison of the two generators. The old one was unable to power our whole home. Mainly had it to keep the fridge on and perhaps a lamp. As you can see from the photos, the Generac is much more compact, yet it delivers so much more power and efficiency. It's designed to handle major loads — from running a huge RV to keeping an entire home powered. In fact, we're currently in the process of wiring our home to connect it directly, so during the next round of severe North Texas thunderstorms or tornado-related outages, we'll be fully prepared. What truly impressed us: • Tri-Fuel Capability: The GP6500E TF runs on natural gas (NG), liquid propane (LP), or gasoline, giving us incredible flexibility depending on what resources are available during an emergency. Need different ways to be able to source power! • Reliable Startup: It starts up easily and quickly every time, which is critical when you're dealing with unexpected power outages. As you can see just the push of a button. • Quality and Efficiency: Generac has a stellar reputation, and after experiencing this machine firsthand, we understand why. It's thoughtfully engineered, highly efficient, and feels durable enough to last for years. • Easy Assembly: We had it fully set up in about 15 minutes. The instructions were clear, and we also watched a couple of their setup videos on YouTube, which were incredibly helpful. • Peace of Mind: With a young child at home, having dependable backup power isn't just convenient — it's essential. This generator gives us the confidence that we'll stay powered and safe, even when the grid goes down. Our close friends down the road are gonna get one now! They came over and checked it out. They have kids too. So having power is important for them as well. Our power grids out here and very unreliable. One night all it took was someone hitting one pole in our town to knock out all the subdivisions power. Even though we didn't purchase this unit ourselves, we would absolutely invest in Generac products in the future based on this experience. The GP6500E TF has exceeded our expectations in every way. We can now rest easy knowing that no matter how bad the weather gets, we'll have the power we need to stay comfortable and safe. Love the solar options they have on their website! We're campers so definitely gonna get one of those. I need to crockpot it in the forest!! Thank you, Generac, for selecting us to be part of this campaign and for delivering such an incredible, reliable product!

Purchased this generator after Hurricane Michael. I used it to run refrigeration, medical equipment and my well. It had absolutely no problems carrying the load. It is a quiet generator and ran for about 14 hours on a tank of gas. I highly recommend this generator.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This is an awesome generator! I love that it has wheels, this adds a lot of portability. I also love that you can power it with gasoline or propane, which is super versatile. It provides a lot of power, which gives me a lot of peace of mind.

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.

I bought the GP8000E to replace my Honda 7000 that was over 25 years old. The setup was relatively straight forward except for attaching the battery cables. When I unclipped the zip tie holding the battery leads for shipping, I didnt notice that the power connector for the starter had become disconnected, probably when I cut the zip tie. I called Generac Support as the electric start was not working and they had me check all the connections including the power connector for the starter. I connected it and the generator started right up. I've only had it for a month but I love it as its easy to operate.

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.

So glad I bought this unit. Sence I bought it I've had to use it twice already
