Coleman Powermate 5000

Reviews on the Coleman Powermate 5000 portable generator over all from research are good. Comments such as set up was easy, started easily, folding handle is convenient, and gas and oil are accessible are good indications that customers are happy with their purchase.

When going to buy a portable generator you need to do your homework ahead of time in order to buy the correct size portable generator.

People that bought the Coleman Powermate 5000 said it ran their frig, freezer, coffee maker, entertainment center, and fish tank all at the same time. This is impressive and gives you a gauge of what you can expect when you buy the Powermate 5000. If you really want to get the full benefit of the Coleman generator then you may want to opt to buy a transfer switch to hook into your home electrical panel so you can just plug the portable power source into your circuit breaker panel without having to run extension cords all over the place.

The Coleman Powermate 5000 has a maximum watts of 6250 giving extra starting power when needed. A 5 gallon fuel tank provides 11 hours of running time at a 50% load. A very strong one inch tubular steel frame encloses the unit that is carried by rugged 7 inch pneumatic wheels and a fold away handle. Control panel consists of four 120 Volt outlets and one 120/240 Volt locking outlet plus circuit breaker protection.

Powerful Subaru 10 HP engine with over head valves and overhead cams for improved fuel efficiency. Very nice feature of a “Low oil” shutoff protects your valuable investment. Nice of Coleman to include a quart of oil too!

Nice 2 year limited portable generator warrantee and 3 year consumer engine warrantee. Shipping weight of 152 pounds.

About the only comment that people are saying about the Coleman Powermate 5000 portable generator is that is noisy. One person said they cannot hear the stereo that the generator is plugged into.

In my humble opinion if I am using a Coleman Powermate 5000 for portable power it is to keep necessary appliances like a sump pump operational or using it on a job site. I would not complain if it was saving me thousands of dollars in remodeling costs from a power outage or making me money on a construction site.
