Summary
The Briggs & Stratton 30737 is a 5000-watt gasoline generator built for homeowners and job site operators who need extended runtime without constant refueling. With 5000 running watts and 6250 peak watts, this unit can power a refrigerator, multiple lights, and power tools simultaneously, making it suitable for emergency backup or outdoor work. The 7.5-gallon fuel tank delivers 12 hours of runtime at half load, which means a full day of operation before refueling becomes necessary. This is a stationary-duty machine. At 184 pounds, it requires wheels or multiple people to move, so placement matters before startup.
The Ford FG6250P is a 5,250-watt gasoline generator built around a 420cc OHV engine that delivers enough continuous power to run a refrigerator, sump pump, lights, and several power tools simultaneously. This wattage tier covers whole-house emergency backup for modest homes or active job site power where circular saws, drills, and compressors cycle throughout the day. A 6.6-gallon tank stretches to 11 hours at 50% load, eliminating mid-shift refueling during typical use. At 167.6 pounds with a wheel kit included, this unit is heavy and demands dedicated storage and transport planning.
