Ratings & Reviews for Generac RECALL GENERAC 6500W GENERATOR

Works as it should.

This was a warranty replacement for my 3300. I removed and applied thread lock compound to all the fasteners because of the previous generator failure. This new one works as it should. I don't like the handle because it collapses when trying to push generator backwards.

Terrible services for defective products

Unit was defected. No output power. None of authorized shop recommend can fix it. Could not refund to due to crazy FleetFarm policy. Running around for 2 weeks trying to get it fix. Loss $20 to drain gas not cover by warranty. Terrible experience. Don't recommend it.

Easy to start and dependable

I have owned this Generac Generator for approximately 6 months. I have not had to use it in an emergency situations as of yet. It does however start on the first pull every time I pull it out to place a load on it. So far so good!

Starts right up.

So far. So good. I haven't really had to use it yet. I purchased for power outage. I start it every month or so. It starts on one pull. Even when temperatures are below zero.

Dependable and easy to use

Bought it for power outages and works great. Just ran it 24 hours continuously with no issues. Easy on gas at low to medium loads. Haven't run it long for big loads.

Love it

I Love my new portable home Generac. It performs perfectly. Thank you

Good Product

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 plac...

Life saver and great value!

Words can't describe how valuable this generator is for me. With more frequent blackouts I need to be prepared with a backup solution and this Generac GP 6500 more than fills the bill. Absolutely LOVE it!!

I love it GP6500

I enjoy my Generator I just fill like the gas run out to Quickly For me Tho I still use it as I'm texting you'll now Thanks GARY WHITE

Great for backup power during hurricanes and other outages

We live in a rural area in south Georgia and lost power for 5 days during hurricane Idalia. A good friend loaned me his GP6500 once his power was restored and it saved us from loosing food in our refrigerator and freezer plus we were able to run our well and water heater. I was sold and purchased our own GP6500 the next week. He has owned his since before hurricane Irma and purchased it for the same reason.

A few quirks but overall happy with the product

Having an urgent need after a storm for replacing my generator ( that refused to start ), i went looking for a new one. The store had plenty of "off brands" or generic brands i was not comfortable with. I found a GP series 6500 tucked away under the rack. Knowing that Generac has made a reputation for home backup systems, i was willing to chance that they did some thinking before they put their portable generator to market. I liked the setup for the most part and it fired up with one pull (to my...

dont waste your money

i have 12.2 hours on this junk. It stays in a climate controlled garage when not being used, i run ethanol free gas only and drain the gas out when its done. We lost power the other night so i went to start it, it wont start and all it does is leak gas out of the carburetor. For what this junk costs its unbelievable how cheap it is

Generac 6500

Works as expected but does vibrate quite a bit is louder than expected and extremely heavy

Exactly what I needed

Living in Metro Detroit I unfortunately have the regional power supplier as my electric utility. Unfortunately the power is just a bit less reliable than it is in Afghanistan. After numerous outages and a ridiculous amount of damage I bought this generator. Unboxed it, put the frame and wheels together, added the oil and gasoline and it starts on the first pull (actually not even a pull - just a tug after the starter engaged). Light enough for me to lift myself, and with the wheels it is...

Great generator

This generator powers my entire house including heat pump, all electronics including a gaming PC and laptop and oven when the solar panels aren't producing power. I'm not fond of the Cosense but it's still well worth the money.

Weak spots

Governor rod wore hole out in carburetor. Replacement carb still has plastic throttle lever. Governor spring tends to break. I am a heavy duty user. I run this generator about 4 - 14 hours per day. Every day. They last about 1.5 to 2 years under this demand. Excellent generator. Just bought a third one.

This product is very easy to operate.

Had to purchase a portable generator before a hurricane in order to maintain medical equipment. Based on what I had read, Generac makes a quality, reliable product. This generator lives up to the Generac reputation.

This generator is a one pull start just about.

This generator is easy to start. I can load and unload it in my truck by myself. I have been totally happy with this product.

Hurricane

Living in Florida with Hurricane Ian coming our way we needed a generator that could run our refrigerator and freezer plus lights and of course our TV, we have a small home on a lake and this General did the job for us.

I have two generac generators

After a lot of research I had decided on a Generac i3000 for camping. This unit is amazing. Quiet and economical with enough power to run a 29 foot travel trailer. Many years ago my brother bought a new generator and I bought his old one “Colman”. Loud yet did the job until it broke. Now wanting a new generator I had no hesitation buying my new GP6500. It’s awesome. Yes I have two generac generators and I am pushing my in-laws to buy the same. Thank you.
