Henrietta New York Home Depot is selling the Coleman Powermate 6250 Max Watt Generators for $529. This price is even cheaper if you have a 10% off coupon from Hd or a competitor. They even offer 6 months of no interest financing if you qualify. The generator is either 9 or 10 horsepower and has a Over Head Valve engine for greater fuel efficiency. It will run 12 hours on a 6 gallon tank at 50% load. Model number is pm0545007. Nice, big and heavy but it has wheels and a handle built in. If you buy with coupon, you might want to consider getting a Emer-Switch Kit 30amp manual power switch too. They are $300 but with 10% its more reasonable. YMMV as always.

It must be special to Home Depot. The closest model spec wise is the pm054004, but the Home Depot model has 6 gallons, is red, and the handle folds over when not in use. I can post a picture/receipt after work if anyone is interested. Let me know.
The Coleman stuff is nice.. I believe they use B&S engines.. And they look nice too...
I forewent the beauty of it and went with a portable Generac 15k..
Picking it up this evening..

This would have been extra hot (no pun indtended) a few months ago when i was sleeping in a pool of sweat and reading by candle light post hurricane. VA doesnt have price gouging laws so everyone was trying to screw you on these things.
Before you buy the Coleman take a look at this one also sold a Home Depot.
Generac 5500 Wheelhouse
I bought it over the coleman earlier this year.
Why:
1) The Coleman panel has to few outlets. The one 120 volt (15 amp) recepticale can NOT deliver the full 40amps (5000 watts x 120 volts) the generator is supposed to create. You'll have to buy a special cable to use the 240 volt twist lock to get more regular outlets. Or wire the generator into the electrical panel.

2) The Generac that I recommend has a higher surge/start-up wattage rating (Coleman 6250 max vs. Generac 8500 watts). This means the Generac has a better rotor. And is more likly to sustain the proper voltage. Also, there is an extra 500 watts of sustained power (Coleman 5000 watss vs. Generac 5500 watts).
3) The gas tank on the Wheelhouse model can easily disconnet from the generator. The tank can be taken to the gas station to fill-up and it can be easily drained. Also, there is gas gauge built into the cap of the Wheelhouse fuel tank.
4) Same B&S 10 hp engine. The Wheelhouse engine/muffler is queiter than my new 7hp Toro lawnmower.
5) Consomer reports gives the Wheelhouse a Best Buy rating. Can anyone post the full text of the Consumer Reports findings? Also, did the Coleman produce the rated 5000 watts of power at 110 volts?

6) When I bought the Wheelhouse HD was selling it for $599 - 10% Lowes Coupon + 6% MI tax = $572 total.

Rossman, pm me your email. Ive got some pics of the box and my receipt for you to host. Anyone else wanna host pm me your email
The Model number is PM0545007
The Sku number is 0-1016354577-5
Funny on the receipt it saids 5000w OHV but the box clearly shows 6250.

The Coleman Powermate honestabe describes is a 5000 watts (continous power) with 6250 (peak power). When devices such as furnace motors, sump pumps, frigs start the motor momentarly draws alot of current to start all the part moving. As the motor approached its steady state working condition the electrical power requirements drop down to normal levels (all this happens in less than a second).
When comparing generators compare the continous power first and then the peak. Its more important to have higher continous power than peak power.
