For high-output inverter power with clean delivery, Gorilla Power GP6500iE is a petrol inverter generator built for demanding home backup, tools and site work. It provides 6500W maximum output and 6000W running output, with true sine-wave inverter performance for stable supply.
Starting is supported by both electric and recoil options, and an ATS-ready port allows automatic mains-fail switching when used with a suitable setup. A 25 L fuel tank is paired with Economy Mode to reduce fuel use at lighter loads, while low-oil shut-off helps protect the engine. Connections are arranged on the front panel, with 240V outlets in 13A, 16A CEE and 32A CEE formats, plus an ATS connection port and a ground (earth) terminal.

Guide only — add up running watts for items used together, then ensure the single highest starting surge stays within generator limits.
Running vs starting watts
Running watts are the power required to keep equipment operating. Starting watts are the brief surge needed to start motors and compressors. Typical values — always check your device label. With 6.0 kW running, you can operate several medium loads together if the largest start surge stays within limits.
