PowerSmart 4800W Portable Inverter Generator, Gas Powered Quiet Inverter Generator with CO Alarm & RV Ready 30A Outlet, 223cc Engine Eco-Mode Generator for Home Backup, Camping and Tailgating

This is a light weight generator. Very quiet. We used it to power lights at a craft fair. We were able to hold conversations without raising our voices. It was easy to start. The pull cord was effortless and able to start on the first pull. It runs on gas. Easy to transport. Just through it in the back of the truck and go!

I’m very happy with this generator. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and provides plenty of power for my needs. I’ve used it for backup power at home and it handled appliances and electronics without any issues. It’s quieter than I expected for a generator this size, and the inverter power feels safe for sensitive devices. Build quality is solid and it’s easy to move around. Overall, great value for the price and I would definitely recommend it.

I've owned several generators over the years, but the PowerSmart 4800-watt stands out as the best by far. I picked it up shortly after moving to Florida, knowing I’d need a reliable backup for household essentials during power outages. Right out of the box, it was ready to go — no assembly required. After adding oil and gas, it started with just a few pulls of the cord and ran much quieter than any generator I’ve had before. I placed it about 10 feet from the house, and with the door closed, I couldn’t hear it inside at all. Just three weeks after the purchase, a nasty tropical storm knocked out our power. Thankfully, I had also bought two 75-foot, 12-gauge extension cords and two 50-foot, 10-gauge cords — each with three outlets, giving me 12 outlets total. I ran the cords through the house and plugged in three standing fans, three lamps, a full-size Samsung refrigerator, a Primo water cooler, a TV, a modem, a portable air conditioner, and my laptop. With everything running, the generator used a third of its available wattage. We also interchanged a stand-alone 2-burner electric range for boiling water, a Gourmia toaster oven/air fryer, and a coffee maker when needed. The generator ran continuously for over 24 hours, powering all 12 sockets without any issues. The PowerSmart 4800 is solidly built, easy to operate, and it delivered reliable electricity when we needed it most. If you're looking for a dependable generator to keep your essentials running during a blackout, this is it.

I am general contractor, we need the power generator for a project that has no electricity. The crew said can't go wrong with a Honda Brand, however the price is $2000ish for the similar features and load. There are many generators available from AMZN, I narrowed to 7 different brands, my final 2 were this and the Champion Brand, I picked this over the Champion due to it is slightly more efficiency and the look. This unit runs very smooth, and pretty quiet. Especially with its ECO mode, one tank of gas can last for few days. The down side for me is that the unit is about 70lbs, which is fine, however with oil and fuel it has over 100lbs. So for me to upload and unload from my work truck is a bite challenge. Otherwise, this is a outstanding generator. I am happy with the purchase.

Took this generator on a 4 day ice fishing trip and ran it constantly. Worked and performed great. Powered a trailer ice castle the entire time. Went through about 12 gallons of fuel the entire trip. Great item and great price.

Runs great and does the job. Maybe not as quiet as a Honda, but runs evenly and puts out power. We lost power for 8 days and this generator ran literally around the clock without complaint. Long-term endurance remains to be seen, but for this price it can last a sixth as long as a Honda and still make economic sense.

This generator is a great deal. Small size and runs on propane or gasoline. I was able to get it set up and running very quickly. I have not run it on gas yet, but it runs great on propane, which I prefer to keep.the carburetor clean and minimize maintenance. It has a slightly lower power rating while running on propane, but that is true with any dual fuel generator. It runs much quieter than I expected. Once it has run initially, it has started on a single pull of the chord. So far I've used it to test output and under load it does very well. When running a small load such as amateur radios and two operate battery chargers, it is very efficient. The power output is very clean as well with almost no variation in voltage or amperage. I would recommend this generator to anyone looking for a good value and for reliable starting and operating. It is light enough to haul around when needed and quiet enough for outdoor needs where it can run without being annoyingly loud like my other generator tens to be. Just get one!

Runs good, easy to start, I wish it had an hour meter, I like that it doesn't have the CO protect feature. My DB meter shows about 59db with eco mode on and 64db with eco mode off (23ft away with no load) so it is very quiet. Engine is a knockoff of the Yamaha MZ80 so I expect decent reliability. I honestly preferred the older style of this unit, the choke was a separate knob from the on/off knob. This unit the on/off/choke knob feels cheap. I do like that the new style has a gas gauge.

There is something wrong with the unit. First time using it pull cord broke. I was told part was being sent then it couldn’t be sent to my address. Now being told again it has been shipped to me. Will see if it shows up. Because I was over my time to send it back I could only get a 50% rebate off this unit even though it was the first time it was used. I had a friend buy the same unit and the same thing happened with his. Definitely something wrong and needs to be fixed. Do not recommend buying this or use it as soon as you purchase so if the same thing happens you can get your money back.

When I bought this generator I thought it wouldn’t be big enough! Boy was I wrong, it works super. I use it with my RV when I am without power. I would buy again!

I just received my generator. It’s brand new out of the box but the Metal bar is already defective/ dented . It’s pretty disappointing when you’re paying almost $900 for brand new generator. Pictures are attached below
