Optimal Power for Work Site Applications
By Ben B.
Generac Marketing Communications Coordinator
Review Posted 05/24/2017
Generac's XC6500E portable generator, model number 6824, is powered by Generac's NEW 426cc G-FORCE Engine, which features best-in-class power and full pressure lubrication to reduce wear and tear and promote a longer engine life. Fully wrapped in a frame of 12-gauge steel tubing, this unit provides rugged durability. Its impact-resistant fuel tank design also features recessed tank edges to reduce damage when transported by forklift or crane, which is ideal for professional work sites.
Best of all, model number 6824 features True Power™ Technology to ensure users are able to keep sensitive loads optimally powered for a variety of applications. Model number 6824 is also CARB-compliant and approved for use in all 50 U.S. states. XC Series portable generators are truly Generac's toughest portable models to date.

Consumer Stuck In The Middle
By Joe S.

Review Posted 10/12/2019
High price doesn't equate to high quality. 2yrs old with less than 10hrs run time. Unit will not throttle down when load is reduced (one of the main reasons I purchased). Been in the shop since August 9th (it's now October 12). Carb has been changed and so has the circuit board. I'm told they're having a difficult time getting technical support from Generac. I'm directly involved with Generass now myself. We'll see, but I'm shopping for another brand. Do not recommend.
