| Summary | The Generac XT8500EFI is an 8,500-watt gasoline generator built for whole-house backup and job site power. With 10,000 starting watts, it can simultaneously run a central air conditioner, refrigerator, sump pump, and lighting circuits, or power multiple heavy-draw tools on a work site. Electronic fuel injection delivers consistent performance and fuel economy, while the 8-gallon tank and 9-hour runtime at 50% load mean a full workday or overnight outage before refueling. | The Predator 13,000 Watt Tri-Fuel Portable Generator offers versatile fuel options, including gasoline, propane, and natural gas, making it suitable for emergencies, jobsites, and home backup. It features a remote start capability and CO SECURE technology for enhanced safety. |
