Generac Power Systems recently added the Powermate 4500 Watt and Powermate 7500 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generators to its generator lineup. Both models are powered by Generac OHV engines that can operate on gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Each has a compact, travel-friendly design and a steel frame with handle. The 109-pound (49-kilogram) 4500 rolls on 8-inch (20.3-centimeter) never-flat wheels. The 7500 weighs 172 lbs (78 kg) 7500 and has 10-in. (25.4-cm) never-flat wheels. Both models include COsense technology, which detects carbon monoxide levels around the machine and automatically powers the generator off if they reach an unsafe level. Both new Powermates also have covered outlets to protect against debris and other elements.

“Our latest additions to the Powermate lineup provide consumers complete flexibility in how they power their generators for home and recreational use,” says Kyle Raabe, president of Generac Consumer Power. “Both the 4500 and 7500 are ideal solutions whether they’re working on a weekend home improvement project, planning a tailgate party, or thinking about backup power needs. We are excited to offer innovative technology and features that make these generators exceptionally convenient to use.”
