As the GP3250 and the GP3300 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 GP3250 compare to the Generac GP3300.
- Engine: The 208cc engine of the GP3250 is significantly bigger than the GP3300's engine, which has a displacement of 163cc.
- Power: With a running wattage of 3,300 W, the Generac GP3300 will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 3,250 running watts of the Generac GP3250. However, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (3,750 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
- Runtime: When running at a 50% load, the GP3300 enjoys a higher approximate runtime on a full tank than the GP3250. It can deliver power for around 10.3 hours, whereas the GP3250 will be able to power your appliances for around 9.7 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 50% load of 0.36 GPH (gallon per hour), the Generac GP3250 is less fuel efficient than the GP3300 with its 0.33 GPH. The latter will therefore be more economic to run than the former.
- THD: Neither the Generac GP3250 nor the Generac GP3300 has a THD low enough to allow you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (respectively <20% and <25%).
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 101.5 lbs, the GP3300 is slightly less heavy than the GP3250 (which weighs 110 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 get running via a conventional pull-start mechanism.
- Outlets: With a total of 5 AC outlets, the GP3300 offers more AC receptacles than the GP3250, which has 3 AC outlets. Moreover, the GP3300 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 GP3250's and the GP3300's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: Being equipped with a data center, the Generac GP3300 allows for a better monitoring of its power generation than the Generac GP3250. Besides that, these 2 products are fitted with a fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance.
