Firman W01785 Gasoline 1700W/2100W Inverter Portable Generator | Recoil Start | CO Alert

The Firman W01785 Gasoline 1700W/2100W Inverter Portable Generator Pairs Quiet Inverter Power With CO Alert Shutdown

The Firman W01785 is a 45.9 lb gasoline inverter generator with an 80cc Firman OHV engine, rated at 2,100 starting and 1,700 running watts at 120V. Total harmonic distortion stays under 3%, giving you clean power for sensitive electronics such as laptops and phones.

It is made for camping, travel, home projects and outdoor fun. Firman rates it at 59 dB at 1/4 load, and its CO Alert system shuts the engine down if carbon monoxide builds up around it.

Firman W01785 Gasoline 1700W/2100W Inverter Portable Generator Features

CO Alert Automatic Shutdown

CO Alert stops the engine when harmful levels of carbon monoxide gather around the generator. A red blinking light means you need to move it to an open outdoor area before restarting, and a yellow light signals a system fault. The yellow light also blinks for five seconds at each start to show the system is working. CO Alert does not replace carbon monoxide alarms in your home.

L5-30R, 5-20R and USB Outlets

The covered panel has a 120V 30A twist lock (L5-30R) and a 120V 20A outlet (5-20R), each rated for up to 14.2 amps, plus a 5V 2.1A USB outlet. Circuit breakers protect the receptacles.

Parallel Ready

Parallel operation outlets let you connect two W01785 generators, or any two Firman inverters with parallel ports, for up to 3100 watts of total available power. A Firman parallel kit is required and sold separately.

Quiet Operation

At 59 dB at 1/4 load, Firman says the W01785 meets National Park sound standards, so it fits campgrounds and quiet neighborhoods.

ECO Mode Saves Fuel

The economy control switch lets the engine idle when no power is being drawn and brings it back to normal speed when a load is connected. That lowers fuel use and noise during light loads.

Up to 9 Hours on 0.9 Gallon

The 0.9-gallon (3.4L) tank delivers up to 9 hours of run time at 1/4 load. Low oil shutdown and an oil warning light protect the engine, and an overload light warns you when connected loads exceed the rating.

Real-World Applications

Camping. Charge phones and laptops and run small appliances at the campsite with low noise.

Travel. At 45.9 lbs with a carrying handle, it rides along easily on road trips and outings.

Home projects. Power small tools and work lights in the yard without running cords from the house.

Outdoor fun. Bring power to tailgates, picnics and backyard gatherings, with CO Alert watching for carbon monoxide.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus the Firman W01781. The W01781 shares the 80cc engine, 1700W/2100W rating and parallel outlets, and it adds a 12V DC charging outlet plus EPA and CARB approval. The W01785 adds CO Alert and the L5-30R outlet.

Versus the Firman W01783. The W01783 has the same rating and a 12V DC outlet, but no parallel outlets and no CO Alert. The W01785 gives you both.

Is This Inverter Generator the Right Fit

• California. The W01785 is not certified to ship to California, so it cannot be sold or shipped there.
• Recoil start only. It starts with the pull cord. There is no electric start.
• Floating neutral. The receptacle ground pins are not functional, so devices that need a working ground pin, such as a GFCI, will not operate.
• Intended use. It is not intended for construction sites as defined by NEC section 590.6, for unattended operation, or for life support equipment.
• Outdoors only. Use it outdoors at least 20 ft from any home, with the exhaust pointed away from occupied spaces.

This may be a good fit if

• You want CO Alert shutdown on a small inverter generator
• You camp, travel or take on home projects
• You may want to pair two units later
• You want an L5-30R outlet as well as a 5-20R

Common Questions

Does the W01785 Have Electric Start?

No. The W01785 uses recoil start only.

Can I Run Extension Cords Into My House?

Running extension cords directly into your home to power indoor items is not recommended, because it raises the risk of carbon monoxide entering the home. Use grounded cords marked for outdoor use and rated for your loads.

What Fuel Does It Use?

Clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with at least 87 octane and no more than 10% ethanol.

What Warranty Does It Have?

Firman's limited warranty covers parts and labor for 1 year and parts and technical support for 3 years. Commercial and industrial use is covered for 90 days parts and labor and 180 days parts.
