The HY6500SEi is the top of the range portable inverter leisure generator from Hyundai. Providing a convenient and cost-effective source of power the HY6500SEi is the perfect generator for providing portable power on the move.

Powered by the extremely powerful Hyundai IC390E 389cc 4-stroke OHV engine producing a max output of 6.6kW, the HY6500SEi is capable of powering a number of home appliances allowing you to take the modern luxuries of home with you wherever you go. Ideal for the serious motorhome, sports home or horsebox enthusiasts, uses include motorsport, equestrian, home standby, DIY garage.

The compact symmetrical suitcase generator design allows effective storage, transportation and manoeuvrability. Weighing 89kg combined with the front and rear moulded grip handles and four wheels, make transportation easy across a variety of surfaces.

The HY6500SEi petrol generator houses the latest Hyundai digital inverter technology designed to cope with inductive loads applied when using power tools and electric motors with high start up currents. The LCD display makes it easy to monitor the performance of the generator, displaying voltage, frequency and hours run.

The control panel features 2 x 230V sockets for use with any appliance which uses a standard 3-pin 13 amp UK mains plug, 1 x 32 amp 230V socket, 12V DC battery charging outlet and 5V DC 3.1amp USB socket ideal for charging mobile phones & tablets. The HY6500SEi is a very quiet generator, running at 25% load the noise level is 55dB at 7m.

Producing a pure sine wave output, it can safely power sensitive electronics without risk of damage from unstable sine waves or frequency fluctuation. Starting the generator is simple with key start or a wireless remote start system that will start and stop the generator up to 15 metres away.

Built to be user-friendly with low maintenance requirements the HY6500SEi features digital overload protection to protect the generator from being overloaded, and low oil shutdown also turns off the generator should the oil levels drop too low.

Highly economical, the HY6500SEi has an “ECO” mode which, when selected, will lower the engine speed to match the load applied to the generator, which in turn increases the fuel economy, lowers noise levels and extends the lifespan of the engine making the HY6500SEi portable generator extremely economical.

Not as silent as described. Sounds like a box of rusty spanners whilst starting but seems to generate enough power.

First time purchasing from Generators Direct, the whole experience was excellant. Expert advice was exactly that expert. Online ordering was seamless and the delivery was on time. Would highly recommend Generators Direct if you are looking to replace or first time buyer of a generator.

I researched generators before getting one of these. It's powerful enough to power our basic house, e.g. gas central heating, pumps, lighting, fridge freezer, network wifi etc along with one or two major appliances. It's also much quieter than the equivalent Hyundai diesel generators. Auto throttle means the engine slows as the load reduces which means it's quieter and fuel efficient. Although it has an ATS connector on the front, this doesn't work to remotely start the generator, but could be used to trickle charge the battery. This has key fob wireless remote start / stop which works at 100m line of sight. However I prefer to start manually and warm up for 2 mins - then connect load which a basic ATS wont do. . It's quite heavy but still a manageable 2 man lift so it's just portable. My office business park recently had a 48 hour power outage. We used it to run all our IT servers networks and some temporary lighting and it easily did so, and we didn't have any downtime.

This generator is used to provide power to a small-bore rifle range in a redundant military bunker. It is reasonably quiet and low in vibration. Easy to start. Easy to refuel. It would have 5 stars but for the fact you cannot extend the exhaust which made locating it in a steel shipping container difficult, but we managed.
