A Durable Power Supply Wherever You Need It
The Generac 6,500-Watt Generator is an ideal portable generator to have at home, on the job site, or wherever you need power. Its compact frame--33.5 x 26.5 x 27.5 inches (LxWxH)--is fitted with never-flat wheels and locking fold-down handles, so it can easily accompany you wherever you go. And with its hardened steel-tube cradle, this rugged generator holds up well for frequent travel, allowing you to look forward to years of operation.
Thanks to its versatile design, this generator adds comfort and possibility to any situation. Use it to keep your family safe through unexpected blackouts, add some fun to a camping trip, or make your job faster and easier.
Powerful OHV Engine with Secure Shutdown
The Generac 6,500-Watt Generator is equipped with a powerful 389-cc OHV (overhead valve) engine. The engine features a low-oil shutdown system, which prevents engine damage and keeps your generator in good shape for long-term use. It also features splash lubrication and a high-performance alternator, ensuring that operation of your electrical devices is efficient and smooth.
Plus, this generator's sturdy, 6.6-gallon steel tank ensures a full ten hours of operation at a 50-percent load, letting you relax for hours of use. And with the tank's built-in fuel gauge, you can monitor fuel levels at a glance. Generac even provides you with your first supply of oil.
Plenty of Wattage to Run a Full Range of Appliances
The Generac 6,500-Watt Generator supplies 6,500 output watts and 8,000 maximum watts (for start-up of devices). It has an A/C voltage of 120/240 and a frequency of 60 hertz.
For unexpected blackouts, this is enough wattage to run home appliances such as security systems, computers, and electric stoves. For construction and landscaping applications, it's enough to support devices such as lawn mowers, belt sanders, and table saws. And for camping and outdoor events, it can run portable stereos, outdoor lights, and electric grills.
(Note: All appliances should be checked for actual wattage ratings.)
Safe, Quiet Operation with Overload-Protected Outlets
If security and quiet operation are important to you in a generator, then the Generac 6,500-Watt Generator is an ideal choice. Its four 120-volt outlets and single 120/240-volt 30 Amp twist lock outlet are circuit-breaker protected, guarding against power overloads and allowing the generator to smoothly send power to your appliances. And the low-tone muffler means the generator runs at a comfortable noise level that easily blends into the background.
This generator is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Buyer's remorse,
By some guy (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Generac 5623 GP6500 8,000 Watt 389cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Generator (Lawn & Patio)
The customer relations at Generac are terrible. Their knee-jerk response is to blame you if you have a problem with your generator. The voltage regulator in my portable Generac (XG6500) failed twice after less than three hours of service. When I informed Generac of the problem, they said no way would they send a replacement. I told the "case coordinator" that my generator was wired into our house circuitry through an outside inlet leading to a transfer switch, and he said their portable generators aren't designed for that purpose and are only supposed to be used with ordinary extension cords! So why does it have a 4-pronged, 30 amp receptacle? It isn't just me who has issues with this company. At the very least, check out the Better Business Bureau web site in Wisconsin and ripoffreports.com, and see how many people have filed complaints with them about Generac's products and warranty. Their attitude is that you agreed to our crappy warranty when you bought it, so now you're stuck with it. They make you feel powerless. The one star rating is for the company, not this particular machine (mine is a different model). See my review of the XG6500 for the full story.

This review is from: Generac 5623 GP6500 8,000 Watt 389cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Generator (Lawn & Patio)
Works perfect, as I haven't had a power outage since I got it!
It was packed well, but for some reason the main control panel was "pushed in". I called Generac and they said to first check with the fright forwarder to file a damage claim. The issue was so minor (I bent the panel right back) that it wasn't worth the hassle. Also, there were some missing carriage bolts for the handles. Generac sent those right out without question. Starts well, runs smooth, not awful loud, but not a 'campsite' genny. I bought it to run refrigerators, freezers, furnace, and sump pumps during extended outtages. I could power a pump and 2 fridges, but never tried to tie in the furnace. I don't expect to run them all at the same time with this, but it does have the overhead peak wattage for some heavy start up surges. Nice buy for the money.

Generac 6500,

This review is from: Generac 5623 GP6500 8,000 Watt 389cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Generator (Lawn & Patio)
Minor assembly required (wheels...handles...adding oil) but relatively easy to complete. Out of the box, generator started with a couple of pulls and runs very smoothly. A little on the loud side, but not atypical for a portable generator. Have tested generator by hooking up to our house transfer switch and transferring the to gen power. Worked flawlessly and easily ran gas furnace blower...well pump...2 refrigerators and a couple light circuits. Thus far...nice machine.
