Summary
The Firman P03503 is a 3,550-watt gasoline generator built around a 208cc OHV 4-stroke engine with a cast iron sleeve. This wattage handles mid-range household loads: a refrigerator, microwave, and several outlets running simultaneously, or a modest RV power setup. The 5-gallon fuel tank delivers 14 hours of runtime at 50% load, meaning a full tank covers a typical overnight camping trip or a daytime power outage without refueling. The 4,450 starting watts give it enough surge capacity to turn on air conditioning compressors or well pumps, making it practical for both emergency backup and recreational use.
The Yamaha EF5500DE is a versatile dual 120/240 volt generator, ideal for emergency backup power for home, cottage, or business, as well as primary power on job sites. It features a 358cc OHV engine, electric start, and offers 5500 watts maximum AC output with outstanding fuel efficiency.
