As the P08008 and the P08004 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 P08008 compare to the Firman P08004.
- Power: As both the Firman P08008 and the Firman P08004 share the same running wattage of 8,000W, they will both allow you to simultaneously power the same appliances. In addition, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (10,000 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
- Runtime: At a 50% load, these 2 portable generators benefit from the same approximate runtime on a full tank. Therefore, regardless of the model, you'll be able to enjoy power availability for around 12 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: Keeping the aforementioned load in mind (i.e. 50%), these 2 generators will burn approximately 0.67 gallon of gasoline every hour.
- THD: Neither the Firman P08008 nor the Firman P08004 has a THD low enough to allow you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (both <25%).
- Noise: Both devices have a noise rating (lower limit) of 74 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: With a weight of 208 lbs, the P08008 is slightly less heavy than the P08004 (which weighs 210.3 lbs).
- Portability: Both products benefit from a wheel kit, which greatly enhances their maneuverability. Both offer a folding handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: Both devices can be started either via a pull-start mechanism or an electric starter. Both have the additional ability to be handily remotely started.
- Outlets: The P08008 and the P08004 both offer 5 AC outlets. However, the P08008 has the advantage of featuring GFCI outlets. In addition, it is worth noting that they can both produce either 120 or 240V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the P08008's and the P08004's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output. Besides that, these 2 products are fitted with a fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance.
- Technology: The Firman P08008 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.
