Coleman Powermate 5000

Review: Powermate PM0435001 5000 Watt Portable Generator | Top ...

The Powermate 5000 watt portable generator is a very basic, down and dirty type of portable generator. It’s designed as an emergency power source at home and as a power source at a jobsite. At 5000 continuous wattage, you should be able to power all your essential appliances. These include your refrigerator, lights, sump pump, freezer, radio, fan, and other items. At the job site, you can power many tools including drills, grinders, sprayers, circular saws, and others. It comes with a 6 gallon gas tank, and can be run it for 11 hours at 50% load. The gas tank and run time are similar for most other portable generators.

The Powermate 5000 watt portable generator features a Subaru EX30 10HP OHV/OHC Gas Engine. It’s built to last, is fuel efficient, and the maintenance is simplified. This is one of the better made engines out there. It has low oil shutdown to protect it from being damaged by running without enough oil.

First thing that stood out for me was the Subaru engine with the cast iron sleeve, low compression pull start, reduced internal parts, enhanced oil slinger for better lubrication, high-end power curve, and low-noise exhaust. I abused this generator in a 2 year period and it runs like a champ still today. I have gone 300 or more hours of run time without changing the oil and no problems. I have put over 1200 hours on the engine and expect to put much more than that on it. I have run this gen for 18 hours straight (refueled while running) for a two day period with no problems. – bob robertd

This generator has never left my family in the dark or the cold. I wired my house for this generator and it has never let us down. I know that we over work this machine, but never once did it die out or slow down for me. It is ran each and every month whether the power is out or not. I do keep it very clean and 3/4 full of fuel at all times. I do run it under a load with 1 heat gun (1800 watts), and 1 hair dryer (1500 watts) each month. I also use Sta-bil in the gas tank , and store the generator in an outside shed.
