Generac 5976- 6500-Watt Gasoline Powered Portable Generator, 49/CSA

I admit we purchased this generator during a disaster. We first purchased a Troy Built. After getting it home I found that the frame and motor housing was busted and the unit was unusable. We found this Generac and while it was 500w less and did not have electric start, it was easy to set up and get started. Am very satisfied and have recommended it to others.

I bought this to replace a generator I've had since 1999. It was a 5500 kw and was very basic. It worked ok but was not powerful enough. I need one with more power and extra startup power. Also needed some safety features. The GP 6500 w/8175 startup power fit the bill perfectly. I had it 1 week and had 3 break-in hours on it and we had a storm go through that knocked the power out. I ran the GP6500 for 19 hours straight and it performed exactly as I had hoped. It always starts on the 1st or 2nd pull. Excellent purchase.

Great looking product, great features, and easy to set up and start first time.. Quiet little generator, as well.. ( And the color, is splendid..matches our Kubota Tractor ! ...Cannot wait for first storm to try it out !~ Great job, Generac ! ! !

we recently bought 8 of these generators, they seam to be well built and do what they need to do. BUT, BEWARE of the Handle!! when handling the generator, the handle swung up and pinched the tips of 2 fingers off. After that we saw that the handle could be pinned in the up or down position.

i highly recommend everybody having a generac generator as an emergency backup after going through hurricane irma and having no power for 8 days and we lost all of our perishable food in deep freeze and refrigerator because we did not get generator until after the storm but so glad i ordered it because of the unbearable heat in florida and we were able to run window ac's and well to take showers very satisfied.
