Powermate PM0497000.02 Generator

Honda has long had a reputation for making some of the most reliable, powerful and quiet generators in the industry. They have products that run the scale from small generators that are able to handle many single applications to large generators that are ideal for emergency power outages, as well as handling tools on remote job sites. While they may be a little more expensive than other competitor models, they more than make up for this with the quality of their generators, and outstanding workmanship that goes into every product they make.

The Powermate PM0497000.02 Generator is no exception. This generator comes with the Honda 389 cc GX series OHV gas engine, with a low oil shutdown feature. This engine produces 7,000 watts of continuous power, and a peak starting power of 8750 watts. It also features a whopping 8 gallons fuel tank, and can run continuously for ten hours at half loads. It also has the Honda low noise muffler system, offering whisper quiet operation, as well as superior fuel efficiency. The cast iron engine sleeve gives this generator a longer lasting engine life.

The Powermate PM0497000.02 Generator has a large easy to read control panel, with four 120 volt outlets as well as a twist lock 240 outlet, as well as a circuit breaker for each outlet. This generator also features an automatic voltage regulator, to prevent power surges and damage to your appliances and tools. Some of the other features of this model include pneumatic wheels, for easy maneuverability, as well as two handles that fold down. The Powermate features a recoil starting system that will get you up and running in just a few pulls. A few things to note on this model is that it isn’t Canadian or California compliant. It does have a two year manufacturer’s warranty, and some retailers even have an extra limited warranty on this product. It weighs just 198 pounds, and it 31.3″x20.9″x24.3″ allowing it to fit into tighter spaces.

As mentioned earlier, the Powermate PM0497000.02 Generator is a little more expensive than similar competitor models. It is priced from just under $1,100-$1300, but it is well worth the money for the quality of the product. You can shop around for the best prices, and Amazon offers one of the lowest. Amazon also offers reviews from real customers who have also purchased this product.

Out of the three reviews of the Powermate PM0497000.02 Generator, none of them are under five stars. One is from Southern Gentleman, who comments that this model was well worth the money. It was shipped quickly, easy to assemble the wheel and handle kit, and had more power than he ever needed. Even anticipating a little bit of a problem with initial starting, the first pull and it started right up, and was quieter than other models he had in the past.

So if you need emergency electricity for your home, or have a business that requires you to use power tools in a remote location, the Powermate PM0497000.02 Generator can be the one for you.
