As the W01781 and the W01785 are both Firman generators, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Firman W01781 compare to the Firman W01785.
- Power: As both the Firman W01781 and the Firman W01785 share the same running wattage of 1,700W, they will both allow you to simultaneously power the same appliances. In addition, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (2,100 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
- Runtime: At a 25% load, these 2 portable generators offer the same runtime on a full tank. Each of them will be able to deliver power for up to 9 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: At the same load as mentioned above (i.e. 25%), both generators will approximately burn 0.1 gallon of gasoline per hour. Inverter generators like these 2 are of the most fuel efficient (and quiet) type.
- THD: Both generators offer a low THD (<3% for the Firman W01781 and <3% for the Firman W01785) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
- Noise: Both devices have a noise rating (lower limit) of 54 dBA. If noise is important to you, neither of them will be easier on your ears.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- Weight: Considering that both devices weigh 45.9 lbs, neither of them will require more effort to be manually lifted and transported.
- Portability: Both offer a handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: Both devices can get running via a conventional pull-start mechanism.
- Outlets: The W01781 and the W01785 both offer 2 AC outlets. None of them feature GFCI outlets. Both of them also feature a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they both only produce 120V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the W01781's and the W01785's product pages.
- Technology: The Firman W01785 benefits from a welcomed additional security feature: its CO Alert technology monitors carbon monoxide and automatically shuts off the generator if the ambient levels become unsafe.
