Summary
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.
The Powermate PM9400E is a portable generator offering 9,400 starting watts and 7,500 running watts, equipped with a Generac 420cc OHV engine and an 8-gallon fuel tank, providing up to 13 hours of runtime at 25% load.
