The Generac 6500 is a gasoline portable generator with 6,500 running watts and 8,125 starting watts, enough to run a fridge, furnace blower, lights and a few small appliances during an outage. Its 389cc OHV engine, 7.9-gallon tank and electric start set it apart from smaller open-frame rivals that need a recoil pull and refueling every few hours. The trade-off is weight: at 182 lb it is a two-person lift and not something you carry up stairs. It suits homeowners who want a backup for a house or a job site and can store it on a level surface with wheels.
