Generac 7682 GP6500E 6,500-Watt Gas-Powered Portable Generator - Powerrush Advanced Technology with Electric Start - Durable Design and Reliable Backup Power - 49-State Compliant

I had little difficulty in putting the Generac portable generator together out of the box. I had my wife start the generator to see how it started with electric start. It fired right up. It was a great buy knowing that either my wife or I can the start generator when the need arises. After having several instances in the recent past with power failures due to storms, I can safely say that I am ready to respond with this generator for some of the necessities of life without power.

We like to look of the generator. It has all the features we were looking for at a fair price. We purchased it to use during power outrages and have not needed it yet so unable to review how it performs when needed.

I have (2) of these I purchased from a local big box store, they are barely used and very well taken care of and stored in my workshop, with the fuel pumped out and ran until empty. I just recently took them out to run them and neither one of them were working due to the carburetors needing to be cleaned or replaced. During Hurricane Ida I had to use whatever gas was available and was fortunate to get any. Needless to say the gas available had ethanol in it and caused the problems even though I had pumped out the fuel and ran them dry before storing them in y shop. I think they are very good generators as long as you can keep non-ethanol gas in them. Otherwise clean or replace the carburetor.

This is my second Generac generator so when I added gas I immediately knew that the fine mesh filter was missing. Lousy quality control and inefficient customer service. It is now two weeks since I called and still no filter despite an additional call. It is much more noisier than competive generators.

Easy for Older people to start.

We now have to get two of them repair after only 8 months. Can someone please contact me. We use them infrequently.

Ran it this winter no problems. needed it on two storms. tarted right up and ran great. does not use much fuel. so far Im happy.

I thought it would’ve been quieter but it’ll work very easy to start
