Porter-Cable BSI550-W 5,500 Watt Generator with 10 HP Engine
At the heart of the Porter-Cable BSI550-W is a 10HP, overhead-valve Briggs and Stratton engine that delivers 5,500 continuous running watts, with a 9,000-surge-watt capacity. The BSI550-W runs for a respectable 13.2 hours at half load and 8.1 hours at full load on one fill of the 7-gallon fuel tank.
For the price you have to pay, which is often considerably less than $1000, the BSI550-W is packed with many of the same features found on portable generators costing 2 or 3 times as much.
Cast-iron cylinder sleeves, low-oil protection, an all-ball-bearing brushless alternator, semi pneumatic wheels, dual voltage receptacles, outlet circuit breakers, vibration minimizing rubber mounts, fold down handles all come as standard on a unit that you will find indispensable at home during a power outage or running a few tools or appliances at a remote location.
Porter-Cable H650IS-W 6,500 Watt Contractor Generator
For their 6kW portable generator Porter Cable have elected to go with the reliable 13-horsepower Honda GX390 engine equipped with cast iron cylinder sleeves and low oil protection.
The 7-gallon gas tank delivers up to 9.4 hours of run time at 1/2 load and 6.0 hours at full load. A fuel-saving automatic idle control lowers engine speed and reduces general wear and tear when the generator is at not loaded.
On the alternator side of the generator the design is brushless, providing cleaner and more consistent power while eliminating the need for brush replacement.
A fully featured control panel features an hour meter, circuit breakers, a full power selector switch, 12-volt DC outlet, 120-volt duplex outlet, 120-volt twistlock outlet, and a 120-240-volt twistlock outlet. The full power selector switch provides maximum power to the 120-volt outlet for maximum motor starting power.
Porter-Cable DBSI325 3250 Watt Home/Yard Generator
The Porter Cable DBSI325 was designed for portability from the ground up. The large wheel and dolly style frame allows one to move the 3250 watts of continuous power produced by the 6 hp Briggs and Stratton overhead valve engine easily to any location where remote power is needed.
The impression of mobility the DBSI325 give us is reinforced by the 0.75 gallon fuel tank which only provides 2.3 hours of run time at half load and 1.6 hours at full load. Plenty for a portable generator which is not designed to chug away all day at a static location but rather to get in to tough locations, get the job done quick and get out again.
Porter-Cable BSV750-W 7,500 Watt Generator With 13 HP Engine
At 7500 continuous watts, the BSV750-W Porter Cable portable generator is big enough to run a home if commercial power were to fail and with a Briggs and Stratton 13HP Vanguard on board, it has an engine with a reputation for reliability strong enough to shoulder that responsibility.
The BSV750-W's 7-gallon fuel tank will keep this generator running at half power rating for up to 9.4 hours so you will not have to worry about getting up to fill the tank in the middle of the night and a low oil protection sensor ensures should anything go wrong engine wise the generator will shut down immediately.
Its electric starter ensures hassle-free starting, wheels ensure portability, dual 120/240 voltage ensure versatility and idle control ensures economy.
