Engine Failure, 5.2 Hours
By Tony R. 
Ashford, Connecticut
Review Posted 01/04/2018 
review 1 image 1
I bought the Powermate 6500W a couple years ago, used it twice for a total of 5.2 hours in CT. Always started and ran a couple times per year, stabilized the gas, checked oil, etc (I take care of my equipment). Just started it last night as a blizzard was on the way and it expelled oil through the exhaust and billowed smoke for about 8 seconds and was ready to stall when I shut it down. Oil leaking from exhaust. Will start but blowing oil. I assume this is engine failure (exhaust valve, piston ring, cracked head?). I was forced to immediately order another generator and will have to have this one repaired at who knows the cost - this was a $1000 machine that FAILED in 5.2 hours, I bought a Generac to replace it. .THIS PRODUCT IS GARBAGE.

Very sorry you experienced issues with your generator. We've sold Powermate models for quite a while and the failure rate on their generators is very low. To locate a Powermate service center in your area, Powermate can be reached directly @ 800-445-1805.
