I like the color and paint job. It starts easily and holds a good quantity of fuel. Construction is German caliber excellent. Portability is good despite the weight.

I brought the Generac 6500 Generator last September after losing power due to Hurricane Helene. I relied upon it for 6 days and it performed flawlessly. I have it stored in my utility building until the next time I have a need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very heavy ! Very sturdy , does not budge when running . Easy to maintain and runs extremely well and very powerful . It is a big noise but as long as it works it doesn't matter !

Bought my Generac generator last Fall but have not had to use it yet as no outage of power so far. Had a stand-by unit before and loved it's reliability but chose this unit with manual transfer system for whole house coverage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited for this generator! I live in Texas and we have hurricane season that sometimes knocks out the power!! Now I am prepared for when this happens!!

Genarator was purchased last fall to perpared for a possible power outage. Used it for the first time when we lost power for 26 hours after an ice storm. It worked flawlessly to power the well pump, heater and some miscellanenous lights and outlets.

We get a lot of outages and it usually 6 to 8 hours to get it back. This generator furs up on the first pull and powers everything but the AC. Can't imagine life without it!

We brought it because we got tried of loosing power all the time. I have used it yet but I know it will work just fine. I fill but just having it. I will recommend it.

I use this generator for 2 months every yr on weekends at deer lease and run fuel dry when I leave till following weekend Iv used the 6500 for 1st year no problem except oil consumption 2 nd yr had to have carb rebuild and and 3rd yr now needs a valve job junk I'm not putting any more money in it. also friend (same deer lease )has a generac 5000 3 yrs old has had to replace push rods

I bought this electric start Generac Portable generator for its Electric Start Feature. I have owned a Generac Non Electric Start Model for approximately 10 years and have been very satisfied with it. I bought this model for the Electric Start feature. I wish Generac kept the previous style handles which were separate and could be easily locked into position with the spring loaded pins. The new model uses a pin on a cable which is harder to use and flimsy. Also I do not know why Generac placed the Sticker with the Serial and Model number just below the generator motor with about 2 inches of clearance with the frame making it very difficult if not impossible to see and photograph. I had to lay on my garage floor in the cold with a digital SLR camera to photo the serial and model number and did not get the quality photo I would have liked. The Serial and Model Numbers could have been easily seen and photographed if the sticker was placed on the opposite bar of the frame which has plenty of space to be photographed which I do in the event of theft. Other than the handles and the sticker I am very pleased with the unit.
