What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this generator for exceptional reliability during extended power outages, with many reporting it powered refrigerators, lights, and medical devices for 12-14 hours on a single tank. Reviewers consistently highlight effortless starting on the first pull and intuitive operation, even for those without technical experience. The built-in CO detector that automatically shuts down the unit at dangerous levels is frequently cited as a confidence-building safety feature. Most find it powerful enough for essential household systems, though some note the 3-foot power cord requires extension cords. A few mention assembly challenges or rare issues like fuel leaks, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by strong overall satisfaction.

Bad pricing

I love the generator but, I don`t like the fact that the same brand but, larger wattage went on sale after the hurricane, for less cost.

Unit is a little noisy but similar to others.

Would Recommend

The generator is the perfect size and with the dual fuel option is versatile for my needs. I completed two stages of the break in using propane without the load. Will run the gen with 50% load today to resume the process. Battery is fully charged and started the unit right up.

AWESOME!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has already been a life-saver this fall. Lost power briefly within two weeks receiving it. I don't have a washer or dryer, so can't comment on how it would handle an entire load of heavy appliances, but it covered everything else. I lose power a few times a year and work from home, so this is pretty essential for me! It is very heavy, so I did need help moving it and getting it out of the box to set up, but after that everything was simple.

Heavy Duty & Does the Job

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have no basis for comparison, as this is my first generator, but I'm excited to get this guy going . Aesthetically, it's a little bigger than I was probably looking for, but hopefully that translates to more power. I could also do with a color other than orange. Upon opening I was able to start it up with one pull, after putting some gas in. It is a little loud, but I feel completely ready for some camping or the apocalypse.

Excellent generator

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First things first, the handle and the wheels are an extreme plus for maneuvering this baby around. My husband is the main user of this but if he's not home I know that I can handle it. It has a very powerful motor that allows us to use multiple tools at one time and not have to worry about a drop in the power. Another benefit, it starts up with one pull (I love that)! The noise consistency is at a medium level, there is no smell and it ran smo...

Powerful

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've looked around for a while for a generator and am very glad we now have the GP6500. For some reason, when a storms come through our area we loose power a lot. It is comforting knowing we have the generator. The GP6500 allows us also to use it our at our fence to run the sprayers when we repainted the fence and also down at the barn to run power tools as we are building. I am very very glad we now have the GP6500.

Great product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall we have loved having this generator around. We did test it out with a few power tools and it works great. We have it ready to go for the rest of hurricane season. Right now we have used it for minor stuff just to test it out and so far it seems to hold up great. It is not overly loud for a generator. I will say it is really heavy and I am glad it has the handle to push/pull it. I am even more glad its handle can be moved in different po...
