Power, fuel, runtime, engine, connection, dimension, weight, price, availability, and warranty fields come from Powermate’s current listings and manufacturer materials. Unpublished noise or power-quality figures are labeled rather than estimated.

Outdoor use only. Keep portable generators at least 20 feet from occupied buildings, with exhaust directed away from doors, windows, and vents. Use approved transfer equipment installed by a qualified electrician for building connections.
