Description
Zoom on the Firman H05752
In a nutshell, the Firman H05752 is a portable generator mostly geared towards:
- RV travellers wishing to enhance their freedom and nomad lifestyle
- People occasionally participating in sporting competitions, open-air performances and outdoor festivals
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.
Power & Run Time
With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Firman H05752 provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 5,700W along with a peak wattage of 7,125W. While propane-powered, it provides 5,700 rated watts and 7,125 starting watts.
Enjoying a noise rating of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a vacuum cleaner), this generator gets running thanks to a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism.
The running time of the H05752, with its 8 gallons fuel capacity, can reach around 12 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.67 GPH). With propane, it can reach around 5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.94 GPH).
The H05752 is unsuitable for the powering of sensitive electronic devices due to its high THD (<25%).
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 6 AC outlets:
While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this Firman generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the H05752 is configured to be transfer switch ready, allowing straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
Measuring L30.2 x W27.5 x H26.3 in, the classic open frame construction of the Firman H05752 provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.
Despite its weight of 176.5 lbs, the generator is considered 'portable,' signifying its capability to be moved, albeit its heaviness may hinder easy transport. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.
Features
The H05752's status and activity may be monitored conveniently via the control panel, as it features a convenient meter, providing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours data.
In addition to this info, a light indicator on the device will signal if its oil levels are insufficient.
Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.
In terms of security, the generator features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its use.
With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the Firman H05752 also comes with several accessories, including: oil, propane hose, funnel and tool kit.

The Firman H05752 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Firman H05752 compare to dual fuel generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- Considering its dry weight of 176.5 pounds, the Firman H05752 is one of the heavier dual fuel generators producing between 5500 and 6500 running watts. If weight is a key factor for your needs, the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO is noteworthy for being one of the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 118 pounds.
- Because this generator emits noise as low as 74 dBA, it can be considered to have a pretty average expected noise rating for a device of its power. If you’d prefer a less noisy device, one of the most quiet devices, which share the same power range with this one, is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, whose lowest noise levels reach just 62 dBA.
- At 50% load, the H05752 achieves one of the longest run times compared to dual fuel devices of similar power, sustaining operations for around 12 hours.
- Run times are important, yet thanks to their dependence on the fuel capacity, they should be judged along with the fuel consumption of the device. In terms of fuel efficiency within its wattage range, this generator falls short: it consumes approximately 0.67 GPH at a 50% load. If gasoline efficiency is at the top of your list, you may want to have a look at the DuroMax XP7000iH, which has great fuel efficiency, with a gas consumption of only 0.38 gallons per hour.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 5500-6500W dual fuel generators, the Firman H05752 is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
