| Summary | The Briggs & Stratton 30728 Storm Responder is a 6250-watt gasoline generator built for homeowners and job sites that need sustained power for essential appliances and tools. With 8500 peak watts, it can start large loads like air compressors and refrigerators that draw high inrush current. The 7.5-gallon fuel tank delivers 11 hours of runtime at half load, meaning users can run the unit through a full workday or overnight without refueling. This is a stationary-leaning portable unit, not a grab-and-go machine. | The Champion Power Equipment 201505 is a 5500-watt dual fuel portable generator equipped with a 389cc engine that runs on either gasoline or propane. It features CO Shield® carbon monoxide auto shutoff system, providing up to 11 hours of run time on gasoline or 6.5 hours on propane. |
