Description
Zoom on the Firman H05753
In summary, the Firman H05753 is a portable generator especially useful for:
- RV travellers wishing to enhance their freedom and nomad lifestyle
- People occasionally participating in sporting competitions, open-air performances and outdoor festivals
- Food van owners who know that just a short power outage could lose them hundreds of dollars
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.
Power & Run Time
The Firman H05753
Featuring dual-fuel technology, the Firman H05753 provides 120/240V, as well as versatility and power. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 5,700W and a peak wattage of 7,125W. Alternatively, when fueled by propane, it offers 5,700 running watts and 7,125 peak watts.
Featuring a noise rating of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a shower), the generator is equipped with both a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism and an easy-to-use and reliable electric starter (battery included) for starting.
Regarding its running time, the H05753, with a 8 gallons fuel capacity, can operate for around 12 hours at 50% load with a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.67 GPH). When using propane, it can run for around 5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.94 GPH).
Considering its high Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 25%, it is not recommended to rely on the H05753 for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 6 AC outlets:
Despite not meeting the 'RV Ready' criteria, this Firman generator grants the advantage of simple RV compatibility via its L5-30R receptacle, enabling you to conveniently power your RV by using an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the H05753 is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.
Portability
At L30.2 x W27.5 x H26.3 in, the Firman H05753 boasts a traditional open frame structure, ensuring stability and allowing for convenient maintenance access to components, promoting air circulation. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.
Despite its weight of 194.5 lbs, the generator is considered 'portable,' signifying its capability to be moved, albeit its heaviness may hinder easy transport. Despite the restricted maneuverability, its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
The H05753's control panel
Integrated into the control center of the H05753 are a convenient meter, displaying voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours information, facilitating the monitoring of its status and activity.
In addition to this info, a light indicator on the device will notify you if its oil levels are insufficient.
Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.
As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), providing peace of mind during use.
Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the Firman H05753 ships with supplementary accessories: funnel, oil, propane hose and tool kit.

The Firman H05753 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Firman H05753 compare to dual fuel generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- Weighing in at 194.5 lbs, the Firman H05753 is one of the heavier dual fuel generators available in the 5500-6500 rated wattage segment. If you are mindful of weight, the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO is among the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 118 pounds.
- This generator, with its lowest noise level at 74 dBA, is noisier than most generators of comparable running wattage. If you'd like a less noisy alternative, the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO is a strong contender. It boasts a noise rating of 62 dBA, placing it among the quietest generators in its power category.
- At 50% load, the H05753 achieves one of the longest run times compared to dual fuel devices of similar power, sustaining operations for around 12 hours.
- Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary to get the full picture. When it comes to fuel efficiency among generators with similar wattage, this generator lags behind, with a consumption rate of 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 H05753 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget generator.
