The Powermate 4500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator has a starting power of 4,500 watts and a running power of 3,600 watts (gas), enabling it to power small electrical appliances at an outdoor location (picnic or campground) and certain power tools for home DIY work.

The Powermate 7500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator is also suitable for outdoor events and power tool use, with 7,500 starting watts and 6,000 running watts (gas).

Both variants are designed to run either on gasoline or LP gas fuel.

The generators are driven by Generac OHV engines, which deliver constant power for a variety of applications and have a simple dual-fuel dial that allows customers to choose between gasoline and LP gas. For simple travel, these include a steel frame and a compact design with integrated wheels and a handle.

The generators are equipped with innovative co-sense technology that enables them to shut down if the surrounding carbon monoxide levels become dangerous.
