Description
Zoom on the Generac GP3300
In summary, the Generac GP3300 is a portable generator especially useful for:
- RV travellers looking for even more independence
- People occasionally participating in sporting competitions, open-air performances and outdoor festivals
- Handcrafting enthusiasts who wish to work on-the-go
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device, along with its emission compliance information.
Power & Run Time
The Generac GP3300
The Generac GP3300's core is the 163 cc (208 hp) Generac OHV 4-stroke engine, which runs on gasoline. With an output of 120/240V, it provides a running wattage of 3,300W and a peak wattage of 3,750W.
Its starting mechanism is based on a simple traditional pull-start mechanism.
With a full tank, the GP3300 can operate for around 10.3 hours at 50% load (fuel consumption around 0.33 GPH), thanks to its fuel capacity of 3.35 gallons.
Since the GP3300 has a high THD (<25%), it is advisable to not use it for the powering of sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel provides the upcoming 5 AC outlets:
Portability
The design of the Generac GP3300 is a typical, open frame, with the dimensions of L24.2 x W22.5 x H21 in, offering support and stability and enabling the possibility of raising it above ground level. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.
While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 101.5 lbs. However, this lack of maneuverability is compensated by its wheel kit (⌀8") and its folding handle, with which you can conveniently shift it, once it's on the ground.
Features
The GP3300's control panel
Monitoring of the GP3300's status and activity is made possible by a digital data center, which provides information on the lifetime run hours and is one of the features of its control panel.
Thanks to a built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows you to quickly, conveniently and easily check the gas level at a glance.
As for its security measures, the device features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), letting you use it with a peace of mind.
Apart from the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the Generac GP3300 also is packed along with the following accessories: oil and RV adapter.
Emissions
The Generac GP3300 is CARB-compliant. Therefore, its sale and purchase are permitted in all of the 50 states, including California.
Moreover, it features a spark arrestor and thus, may be used in forested areas.

The Generac GP3300 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Generac GP3300 compare to generators of similar power (between 2500 and 3500 W).
- Having a dry weight of 101.5 lbs, the Generac GP3300 belongs in the expected weight range for generators which produce 2500 to 3500 rated watts. If you are concerned by weight, one of the champions in the above-mentioned power range is the Pulsar PGD40iSCO, with a dry weight of just 46 pounds.
- The GP3300, offering a run time of around 10.3 hours with a full tank at a 50% load, falls within the average autonomy range when compared to its peers. If you consider autonomy on a single full tank as one of the deciding factors, one of the generators in the same power range that offers the highest run time is the Predator 4375, with around 16 hours.
- Even though run times are undoubtedly important, they are dependent on the fuel capacity to a large extent. For a more wholesome picture, we must take into consideration the fuel consumption of the generator. This generator has an average fuel consumption among comparably powerful devices, as it reaches 0.33 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 50% load. If you are concerned with gasoline efficiency, having a fuel consumption of just 0.22 GPH, the Pulsar PGD40iSCO is a device you could look out for.
The bottom line
- Several accessories included
- GFCI Outlets
- Decent weight (101.5 lbs)
- Decent run time
- Decent fuel efficiency
- No electric start

User Reviews
I race motorcycle on the road 200 days a year and pull a 30 foot box trailer and I power it with a GP3300 I’ve had in use for three years. It ran longer than my last Honda the Honda blow up in a year come not get part out on the road. The GP 3300 I can get part at the parts store I had a head gasket blow but I was able to repair it with parts the location Auto Zone in a little town in the middle of no were. It ran a year longer. But this year it was cold as hell and had a hard time starting so knowing better I give it a little shot of starting fuel and it was the real fuel it blow the head off I’m talking the hell off broke the head bolts so I was thinking it would not recover from that but i got all my thing together and I old school serfs the head and cyclder with a flat glass an sand paper knock the glaze off the rings and bore work. The cakes use the old gasket old rings new case hard bolts made a push rod holder pull it one time it started smoke back fire for a min and it’s level out and is still running like a new one all this time not a min trouble out of anything else on it. It’s not smoking at all run a little old every 10 tank of fuel. Runs every day and night for 7 years now so yes it’s a damn good tool. So don’t be scared to go get one u want be disappointed at all
Tks

I haven’t used it much. Works as advertised but it’s unbearably loud.
