Generac 5941 GP6500E Review
Key Features and Benefits:
- Single Touch Electric Start: The GP6500E portable generator conveniently lets your start up the unit with a push button.
- Powerful and Reliable Engine: this portable generator comes with the powerful Generac 389cc OHV with splash lubrication for a longer life. The inbuilt automatic low-oil level shut down prevents damage to the engine and the hour meter time maintenance intervals.
- Long Running Time: the GP6500E has a 7.2-gallon fuel tank which provides up to 10 hours of run time at 50% load. This means you can enjoy the convenience of modern appliances overnight without refilling.
- Heavy Duty Wheels: despite weighing 186 pounds, this generator moves easily thanks to the 9.5 inch heavy-duty never run flat tyres. The hardened steel tube cradle, and folding lockable handles also enhances portability.
