As the GP3500iO and the GP3300i are both Generac 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 Generac GP3500iO compare to the Generac GP3300i.
- Engine: The 212cc engine of the GP3500iO is significantly bigger than the GP3300i's engine, which has a displacement of 149cc.
- Power: With a running wattage of 3,000 W, the Generac GP3500iO will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 2,500 running watts of the Generac GP3300i. Moreover, compared to the 3,300 starting watts of the GP3300i, the GP3500iO and its starting wattage of 3,500 W will give more power to start the appliances which require an additional boost to get their motor running.
- Runtime: When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the GP3500iO offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the GP3300i: it can operate for up to 11 hours, whereas the GP3300i offers a maximum runtime of 7 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.15 GPH (gallon per hour), the GP3300i is more fuel efficient than the Generac GP3500iO and its 0.22 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline. Inverter generators like these 2 are of the most fuel efficient (and quiet) type.
- THD: Both generators offer a low THD (<3% for the Generac GP3500iO and <3% for the Generac GP3300i) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- Weight: The GP3300i and its 59.5 lbs is somewhat lighter than the 74.3 lbs of the GP3500iO.
- Portability: To the contrary of the GP3500iO, the GP3300i benefits from a handle, to help you get a better grip anytime you wish to move your portable generator.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: Both devices can get running via a conventional pull-start mechanism.
- Outlets: The GP3500iO and the GP3300i both offer 3 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 GP3500iO's and the GP3300i's product pages.
- Data Center: The Generac GP3500iO offers a better insight into its power production than the Generac GP3300i, because it is equipped with a data center.
- Technology: The Generac GP3300i benefits from a welcomed additional security feature: its COsense® technology monitors carbon monoxide and automatically shuts off the generator if the ambient levels become unsafe.
