Description

The 357 cc Yamaha MZ360 OHV 4-stroke engine on the Yamaha EF6300iSDE runs on gasoline and can put out 120/240V. It has a running power of 5,500W and a maximum power of 6,300W. The electric starter on the inverter generator is convenient and easy to use (battery included). It has a noise level of 58 dBA (The noise level is lower than that of a refrigerator). Yamaha’s Smart ThrottleTM is built into this generator. This load-sensing feature automatically changes the speed of the engine to match how much it is being used. This saves fuel and reduces noise. Due to its 4.5-gallon fuel tank, the EF6300iSDE can run for up to 13.3 hours on a full tank (using about 0.34 GPH of fuel). The EF6300iSDE makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 4%, so it’s safe to plug sensitive electronics into AC outlets (THD).

Outlets

The control panel has 4 AC outlets: a 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI duplex outlet, a 120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle, and a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle. Even though this Yamaha generator isn’t RV Ready, an L5-30P to TT-30R adapter can be used to connect it to a simple RV. The EF6300iSDE is also ready for a transfer switch because it has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle. If the power goes out, you can easily connect it to a breaker box and keep your home running.

Features

The EF6300iSDE’s control panel has a digital data center that tells you about the power output and lifetime run hours. This lets you keep an eye on the machine’s status and activity. On top of this, the device’s lights will show if the generator is overloaded, if it is ready, or if the oil level is too low. The inverter generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it easy and quick to check the fuel level. As for safety features, the device has a circuit breaker for overheating and an Oil Watch system that turns it off automatically when the oil level gets too low, so you can use it without worrying. The Oil Watch warning system from Yamaha gives you more peace of mind. This feature makes the car last longer because it keeps the engine from getting damaged and needing expensive repairs. When the oil gets low, the generator turns off by itself and won’t start again until more oil is added. It also has a sensor for carbon monoxide. This sensor is meant to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the air while the generator is running. If the generator isn’t set up right and carbon monoxide levels get too high, the generator will turn off by itself. It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times. In addition to the features we’ve already talked about, the Yamaha EF6300iSDE comes with standard documentation and an owner’s manual to help you get started right away. You can buy a storage cover from the company separately.

Mobility

The encased inverter generator design of the Yamaha EF6300iSDE (L30.7 x W24.3 x H27.2 in) makes it look better than any ordinary open frame product. The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power. Even though this device is technically portable (meaning it can be moved), it weighs 200 pounds and can be hard to move and use without special tools. But its 4 wheels and double handle make it easier to move once it’s on the floor.

Due to its high THD (25%), the H05751 is not a good choice for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

There are 6 AC outlets on the control panel: two 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI duplexes, a 120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle, and a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle. This Firman generator isn’t quite RV-ready, but it has an L5-30R receptacle that makes it easy to hook it up to an RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adapter. Also, the H05751 has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, which makes it ready for a transfer switch. It can power your home during a power outage because it is easy to connect to your breaker box.

Features

The status and activity of the H05751 can be easily checked on the control panel, which has a meter that shows voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours. The generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to find out how much gas is in it. When it comes to safety, this product has a circuit breaker for overheating and an automatic shut-off for low oil, so you can use it without any worries. The Firman H05751 comes with the standard paperwork and an owner’s manual, which will help you get the device up and running quickly. It also comes with a propane hose, funnel, tool kit, and oil.

Mobility

The Firman H05751 is a standard, open-frame generator with dimensions of L30.2 x W27.5 x H26.3 in, This gives the generator stability and lets it be raised above ground level. The design shown is great for the outdoors and other rough places. Even though this device is technically portable (meaning it can be moved), it can be hard to move and use without special tools because it weighs 194.5 pounds. Once it’s on the ground, though, its wheel kit (dia:10 “), and its folding handle can easily fix the problem of limited mobility and make the device easy to move.

The generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to check how much gas is in it. As far as safety goes, the device has an automatic shut-off for low oil and a circuit breaker for overheating, so you can use it without worrying. Along with the basic paperwork and an owner’s manual, which will help you start the generator right away, the Firman H05752 comes with a tool kit, a funnel, an oil hose, and a propane hose.

Mobility

The Firman H05752 has a traditional, open frame that measures L30.2 x W27.5 x H26.3 in, This frame gives it support and lets it be lifted off the ground. The generator is built to work well outside and in rough places. Even though the generator is technically considered to “be portable,” it will be very hard to move it by hand because it weighs 176.5 pounds (in the sense that it is movable). Once it’s on the ground, though, its wheel kit (dia:10 “), and its folding handle can easily fix the problem of limited mobility and make the device easy to move.

  • We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
  • For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
  • Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.

Description

With its dual-fuel technology, the A-iPower SUA6000ED is a powerful and versatile generator that can put out either 120V or 240V. Even though it runs on gasoline, it has a running wattage of 5,500W and a peak wattage of 6,000W. It is powered by propane and has a rated power of 5000 watts and a starting power of 5500 watts. Switch On Demand is a feature of A-iPower that lets you switch from gasoline to propane or propane to gasoline while the generator is running. The generator has a noise level of 78 dBA, which is quieter than a dishwasher. It has both a traditional pull-start and an easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). With a full tank of gasoline, the SUA6000ED, which has a fuel capacity of 4 gallons, can run for about 6.5 hours at 0.5 load (fuel consumption is approximately 0.62 GPH). If propane is used, it can run for about 5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 0.94 GPH). Due to its high THD (20%), the SUA6000ED is not a good choice for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

There are 3 AC outlets on the control panel: a duplex 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI outlet and a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) outlet. It also has 1 DC outlet, which is a cigarette lighter-style 12V 8A receptacle that makes it easy to charge your batteries. The SUA6000ED is ready for a transfer switch because it has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle. It can be easily connected to a breaker box and can power your home if the power goes out.

Features

The SUA6000ED’s control panel has a digital data center that tells you how many hours it has been running for its whole life. This helps you keep track of its activity and status. In addition to this information, there is a light that lets you know when the oil level is too low. A built-in fuel gauge makes it easy and quick to check how much gas is in the generator. For safety, the generator has an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), so you can use it without worrying. The A-iPower SUA6000ED comes with basic instructions and an owner’s manual that will help you start the generator quickly. It also comes with a propane hose, oil, and a battery charger.

Mobility

The A-iPower SUA6000ED has a traditional, open frame that measures L24.4 x W18.9 x H22.5 in, This frame gives it support and lets it be lifted off the ground. The device was made to work well in harsh conditions and in the great outdoors. The generator is technically “portable” because it can be moved, but at 157.7 pounds, it may be hard to move it by hand. Still, its wheel kit (dia:7.5) makes it easy to move “) and its handle that folds up, once it’s on the ground.
