Predator 13000 vs 8750 - The Differences
Further down the page, you'll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Predator 8750 and the Predator 13000.
But before checking out explanations regarding their power, portability, and features, here's a table that summarizes the main pros of each of these 2 generators:

As the 8750 and the 13000 are both Predator 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 Predator 8750 compare to the Predator 13000.
- The Predator 13000 has the advantage of being able to run on 3 different types of fuel (tri-fuel), whereas the other only runs on gasoline.
- With a running wattage of 10,000 W, the Predator 13000 will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 7,000 running watts of the Predator 8750. Moreover, compared to the 8,750 starting watts of the 8750, the 13000 and its starting wattage of 13,000 W will give more power to start the appliances which require an additional boost to get their motor running.
- We unfortunately lack the data to compare the runtimes of these 2 generators. Predator only provided data @25% load for one, and @50% load for the other. It makes little sense to compare runtimes at different loads.
- For the same reasons as pointed out above, we do not see any sense in comparing fuel consumption at different loads. Inverter generators like the Predator 8750 are usually much more fuel efficient and quiet.
- The Predator 8750 with its low THD (<3%) is the only of these 2 generators that allows you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (the Predator 13000 has a THD <23%, which is too high for electronic products).
- With 75 dBA, the noise emitted by the 8750 is slightly lower than the 78.5 dBA of the 13000. While this difference could seem insignificant, the former should still be easier on your ears.
Portability Comparison
- Weighing 151 lbs, the 8750 is much lighter than the 226 lbs of the 13000.
- 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
- Both devices can be started either via a pull-start mechanism or an electric starter. The Predator 13000 offers another layer of convenience, as it can be remotely started.
- With a total of 7 AC outlets, the 13000 offers more AC receptacles than the 8750, which has 5 AC outlets. Yet, they both feature GFCI outlets. The latter also offers a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they can both produce either 120 or 240V.
- 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.
- Both units benefit from Predator's CO Secure carbon monoxide monitoring technology.
TL;DR
