Description
The 389 cc Dewalt OHV 4-stroke engine powers the Dewalt DXGNR6500. It gives out 120/240V, runs on gasoline, and has a running wattage of 6,500W and a peak wattage of 8,750W. It uses a simple, traditional pull-start mechanism to get going. With 7.5 gallons of fuel, the DXGNR6500 can run for about 10 hours at 0.5 load if the tank is full (fuel consumption is approximately 0.75 GPH).
Outlets
Two 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI duplexes and a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle are among the 5 AC outlets on the control panel.
The DXGNR6500 is ready for a transfer switch because it has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle.It can be easily connected to a breaker box and can power your home if the power goes out.Features
The data center on the DXGNR6500’s control panel is one of its many features.
It tells you how many hours it has been running for and lets you keep track of its activity and status.A built-in fuel gauge makes it easy and quick to check how much gas is in the generator.From a safety point of view, the product has an automatic shut-off for low oil and an overload protection (circuit breaker), so you can use it without worrying.The DXGNR6500 also has the CO Protect carbon monoxide shutdown feature from Dewalt.If CO levels get too high or rise too quickly, the generator shuts down automatically.It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times.The DXGNR6500 comes with the usual paperwork and owner’s manual to help you get started quickly.Dewalt also included some oil in the package.Mobility
The Dewalt DXGNR6500 is 27.2 inches long, 27.1 inches wide, and 25.8 inches high.
Together with its traditional, open-frame design, they support the generator and allow it to be raised above the ground.The generator is built to work well outside and in rough places.The generator weighs 165 pounds, so it may be hard to move or transport it by hand, even though it is technically considered “portable” (movable).Still, once it’s on the ground, its wheels and folding handle make it easy to move.Product Videos
We could find any videos of the product at the time of writing. Please search YouTube for any update.
The following charts show how some of the most important features of the Dewalt-DXGNR6500 compare to other generators with the same power output.
**Fuel efficiency is give in relative percentage, 0 being the lowest and 1 being the highest value. Please see below specification table for actual value.

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
About the Manufacturer
DeWalt is a well-known US-based manufacturer of power tools that was established in 1922 by Raymon DeWalt.
DeWalt, a current subsidiary of the Stanley Black & Decker company, has 7 manufacturing locations in the US and a wide range of items to choose from, including everything from screwdrivers to portable generators.The portable generator series from DeWalt features open, traditional designs with a range of outputs, some of which are propelled by Honda engines.They are reportedly not all built in the US, unlike many of their tools, and are instead _manufactured under license by Generac_.Warranty Information
A warranty covers the Dewalt DXGNR6500 for up to 3 years.
This warranty may not cover all parts of the generator or may only cover certain parts.Check out Dewalt’s warranty policies to learn more about the warranty on Dewalt generators.You can also call their customer service line at 1-800-4-DEWALT (800-433-9258).
