Shopping Guide
Who this is for
This is a portable generator for a buyer who wants a choice of fuel and a built-in carbon monoxide alert. It runs on gasoline or propane, and it is rated at 3200 running watts on gasoline or 2800 running watts on propane. It is listed for outdoor and contractor use, emergency home backup, and remote power, so it suits a buyer who wants one portable unit for those jobs.
If quiet is a preference, the listed noise level is 62 dB at half load; no figure is given for other loads. If running sensitive electronics is a must-have, note that the specifications here do not state a waveform or distortion figure, so this listing alone does not confirm clean power.
Its output tops out at 4000 peak watts and 3200 running watts on gasoline, so it is not the pick if you need more than that.
It is also worth reading the safety line closely if carbon monoxide response is your deciding factor. The listed protection is a CO Sentry alert system, and the specifications do not describe an automatic shutoff.
If you need a published run time per tank, note that this product's specifications do not state one, so this guide does not either.
It fits if you need around 3,000 running watts and will mostly run on gasoline, where it is rated at 3,200 running watts. It is a weaker fit if you will mostly run on propane and need 3,000 running watts or more: on propane the running rating is 2,800 watts.
How to choose: gasoline or propane
The one choice on this product is the fuel, because the output changes with it.
| Fuel | Peak watts | Running watts |
|---|---|---|
| Gasoline | 4000 | 3200 |
| Propane | 3600 | 2800 |
Propane gives up 400 peak watts and 400 running watts compared with gasoline. If your load needs the higher figures, choose gasoline; if your load fits within the propane figures, either fuel covers it. Compare your loads with the running-watt figure for the fuel you plan to use.
Spec highlights

- Output on gasoline: 4000 peak watts and 3200 running watts.
Common questions
Does this generator have carbon monoxide protection? Yes. The listing names a CO Sentry alert system under carbon monoxide protection. It describes this as an alert system only; the specifications do not state a certification or an automatic shutoff, so treat it as a warning feature and not as more than the listing says. They give no further detail on how the alert works or when it triggers.
How loud is this generator? It is rated at 62 dB at half load. That is the only noise figure in the specifications, so there is no stated reading at full load or on a particular fuel. If quiet is a priority, weigh that gap against the half-load rating.
How much power do I give up by running it on propane? 400 watts on both ratings. Peak output goes from 4,000 watts on gasoline to 3,600 watts on propane, and running output goes from 3,200 watts to 2,800 watts. It is a dual fuel generator, so you can run either fuel, and the choice comes down to whether you need the extra output.
Does this generator put out at least 3,000 running watts? On gasoline, yes. It is rated at 3,200 running watts and 4,000 peak watts on gasoline. On propane the ratings are 2,800 running watts and 3,600 peak watts, so propane falls short of a 3,000 running-watt requirement. Decide which fuel you will actually run before matching it to your loads.
Can it run on propane as well as gasoline? Yes, it is a dual fuel generator, so you can run it on either gasoline or propane. Output is lower on propane: 3600 peak and 2800 running watts, against 4000 peak and 3200 running watts on gasoline. The specifications do not state tank sizes or run times for either fuel.
