| Summary | The Generac #7705 GP15500EFI is a 15,500-watt gasoline generator built for whole-house backup and RV power. Electronic Fuel Injection adjusts fuel delivery based on load, meaning the engine burns only what it needs rather than running at a fixed rate. At this wattage, it can run central air conditioning, a well pump, kitchen appliances, and multiple lighting circuits simultaneously, functioning as a realistic alternative to a permanently installed standby system without the installation cost or natural gas hookup. | The Powermate PM3800 is a durable and compact portable generator, ideal for home use and DIY projects. It features a Generac 212cc OHV engine, delivering 3800 starting watts and 3000 running watts. The generator offers a 21-hour runtime at 25% load, facilitated by a 5-gallon fuel tank. Its POWERDIAL™ simplifies the startup process with an integrated off/run/choke knob. |
