Manufacturer Review
PM0135500 LPG Generator
By Dina 
Powermate Director of Marketing
Review Posted 10/03/2014
The Powermate LPG generators accept a 20 or 30 lb. propane tank. The 5500 watt model gets 6 hours of run time at 50% load on a 20 lb. tank. The 12 inch never-flat wheels make it easy to transport. This model is manual/electric start and a battery is included. A digital multi meter records engine run time for scheduled maintenance intervals. Covered outlets provide protection from the environment. Oil is included with this unit.

Good Deal!

Haven't had to use it in an emergency yet, but have been running it for several months, 1 x per month, as stated for upkeep. Runs well, easy to use, and is not too loud.

Just What I Wanted
By Michael D 
Central New York, New York
Purchased 10/26/2016 | 
Review Posted 11/17/2016 
I bought this generator to power my home if/when the power goes out. I bought this particular model because it had the required wattage, it runs on propane (I'm sick of cleaning carbs.) and it has electric start. Shipping was really fast, arrived in 4 days. Assembly was super easy, just wheels and the handle. Hooked up a 20lb propane tank and it fired right up. Now it will sit until needed and because it is propane I don't have to worry about long term storage and the carb gunking up.

Great Standby Propane Generator!

Easy setup, works fine with tank installed as shown in picture, also I made contact with my area propane dealer who, with a regulator and quick-connect made it easy for me to connect to our large home propane tank in the event of needed longer term use!

Great Generator

Review Posted 01/21/2016 
This is a great generator. It was easy to assemble and is well designed. The generator started when first cranked over. It will be good to have an easy to start, reliable generator in an emergency.
