Features

Powers fridge, freezer, furnace, well pump, and much more: The EM6500S can power a wide variety of appliances in your home. Check the applications tab for more examples.

Consistent power with iAVR (Intelligent Automatic Voltage Regulation) technology: Honda's exclusive iAVR technology ensures a consistent flow of power regardless of the load. This translates into stable power for sensitive equipment and a more reliable power source for you.

Provides 7,000 watts for 10 sec to start larger equipment: Honda exclusive iAVR technology lets the generator operate well above its maximum rating for up to 10 seconds to start high initial amp draw equipment.

Honda My Generator app + Bluetooth® capability: Honda's exclusive My Generator smartphone app offers remote generator operation and monitoring with impressive performance and unmatched convenience. The app includes wireless start/stop, operation monitoring, and service reminders, utilizing Bluetooth® connectivity.*

CO-MINDER: Advanced Carbon Monoxide Detection System: CO-MINDER™ continuously monitors carbon monoxide (CO) levels. It automatically shuts down the generator before detected CO levels near the generator become dangerously high.

Powerful Honda iGX commercial engine: Honda's innovative iGX series engines deliver exactly what you've always wanted: reliable, optimal performance. These intelligent computer-controlled engines operate automatically with much better, simpler, and faster controls.

120/240V Selector switch - More usable power, more flexibility: Choose between using both 120 and 240 Volts, or 120 Volts only. This allows for the total generator output to be available through any of the 120 volt outlets, limited only by the capacity of the individual outlet. This enables you to power units with larger wattage requirements.

Easy folding handles: Wide, positive lock folding handles offer convenient transport and storage and a more compact unit.

3 year residential and commercial warranty: You can rest easy, knowing your generator is covered from top to bottom for 3 full years.

Runs up to 9.8 hours on 6.2 gallon tank: Runs approximately 9.8 hours at half load and 6.4 hours at full load. This makes the EM6500S great for overnight power.

Electric start: Electric start (battery included) makes starting easy, along with recoil back-up

Wheel kit standard: The EM6500S is easy to maneuver and transport.

12V DC Auto Charging: Use when charging 12-volt automotive type batteries. (Requires an optional charging cord.)
