    Great Product, easy pull start and good on fuel. Having blue tooth connectivity to see how much fuel is remaining is handy and also the fact it tells you when to service it is great.
    Only small downside is due my application I am not able to use the auto idle so it is a little noisier at close proximity. Also wishing it was electric start and plastic shell/panels feel a bit flimsy but considering other similar sized units are twice the price these small negatives are easy to live with.

    Purchasing the item was easy, the customer service was great and delivery was prompt.

    Product Review

    I purchased this in August. It was delivered safely and in great condition. My only complaint is that it is very difficult to start . Sometimes 10-15 pulls. It’s has been filled with Fresh fuel and B&S oil that came with the generator. I was told to take it to an accredited B& S service department which I did. Was then told it had a “ tricky choke “ ( whatever that means ). I have operated many different types of power equipment 2 stroke & 4 stroke and this is by far the worst one I have had to start. I am disappointed because it’s seems other reviewers have not had any difficulty starting their generators. With this in mind I cannot rate this generator as high as I would have liked.

Product Q&A

Ask a Question

  • Q:Is this machine silent?
    A:

    Hi There,

    The Q65000 is a very quiet generator for its size and output capacity.

    It has a noise level of 66dba @ 7m which is comparable to a lot of generators in this category.

  • Q:Would you recommend this generator for a small vintage caravan doing coffee and cake
    A:

    HI There,

    The Q6500 would be well suited to your application.

    Many customers have purchased this generator for their coffee/food trucks.

  • Q:Hi just wondering if this generator would run a welder?
    A:

    Hi There,

    We would not recommend running a welder from an inverter generator.

    For welders we recommend portable trade style generators with a suitable capacity to power the welder.

  • Q:What is the noise rating at full power?
    A:

    Hi There,

    Sorry we do not have a noise rating for this generator at full load.

  • Q:can the 6.5 be connected by an electrician to run a house in a power blackout
    A:

    Hi There,

    Yes it certainly can.

    Your electician would need to insall a 32A single phase transfer switch in your meter box.

  • Q:Would this generator be able to run a standard household HWS (Hot Water system) rated at 4800W
    A:

    Hi There

    Provided the hot water system does not draw more than 6500W you will be able to power it with this generator.

  • Q:Hey can I run a cement mixer 1.5hp and a 9 inch grinder together?
    A:

    Hi There,

    This generator would most likely be too small for running both of those items together.

    You would be better off looking at an 8-10kVA generator to run them both.

  • Q:HiDo you think this generator Would be as quiet as the Honda eu70is? I’m looking at purchasing one for my coffee cart but not sure if i should spend the extra and get the Honda.
    A:

    Hi There,

    The Honda generator will be quiter than the Briggs & Stratton generator.

    Our best recommendation would be the Yamah EF6300iSE which is extremely quiet, and powerful.

  • Q:Hi,If I want to run my house as a backup but I’ve only got a 16amp inlet, is this still possible or will the generator run in some kind of restricted mode?
    A:

    Hi There

    If you were to connect the Q6500 up to your transfer switch with one 15A outlet, you would only be able to pull a maximum of 3450W. 

    Having a 32A transfer switch installed would give you the ability to use the generators full power.

  • Q:Do you sell ramps that would help to wheel the generator into the back of a van?
    A:

    Hi There,

    At this time we do not have any ramps in our range sorry.

    You may have luck at a hardware store, or having some fabricated locally.

  • Q:Does this run a 450litre fridge? IE family size? And an 2 oil heaters at the same time? I am just trying to work out what it can run from an appliance perspective at the same time? Dryer? Washing machine? Dishwasher?
    A:

    Hi There,

    How many, and what appliances the generator can run at any one time really depends on how much power each appliance requires.

    We have a handy power calculator that allows you to calculate your power needs: https://www.mygenerator.com.au/power-calculator

    This should help you determine if this generator would be the right model for you.

  • Q:i have a manual transfer switch installed with 2 fifteen amp outlets can i plug in two fifteen amp extension leads in to the generator? and get full use
    A:

    Hi There,

    Yes, you could do that. You would just need to make sure that the appliances on the circuits being powered will not attempt to draw more than the generator can provide.

  • Q:Hi, can this generator be connected in parallel?
    A:

    Hi There,

    Unfortunately there is no paralelle option for the Briggs & Stratton Q6500.

  • Q:Greetings to you and thank you for your time! Is much appreciated!Could you advise please, can or does the Briggs & Stratton 6500W Inverter Generator come with a Remote Start unit feature please?Thank you! Cheers. Kind regards, James.
    A:

    Hi There, The Q6500 is recoil start only. Thanks
