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

I bought the PowerSmart 3800W generator for camping trips and for emergency backup. I recently used it on a two day camping trip and I couldn't be happier. It's lightweight, quiet, and preforms as advertised. It fired right up every time and I didn't need to use the choke even after it sat for several hours. It runs really quiet and smooth, no reving up and down. I ran two large fans and the two air pumps for the air mattress at the same time, and it barely went above idle. I ran it at night and couldn't hear it over the fans. A group of campers a few sites down from us were using a Predator generator the same size and it was noticeably louder. The only thing I wish was different was the tank size. It will run for about 6.5 hours with two fans on one tank. One person commented that they wished it had a fuel shutoff you run the gas out of the carburetor, but it does run for a few seconds after turning it off to run the gas out of the carb. Seems to be a great little generator so far!

Straight out of the box it started up. One easy pull. The wheels and handle makes it easy to move. It’s nice and quiet and will be perfect for power outages and to take camping.

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.

Great unit!! Live in remote area with no public utilities, so this is sole source of power. Handles varying loads (lights, TV, A/C) perfectly. Quiet, easy to start - even a woman can start it easily. Would buy again.

This little generator starts right up and keeps on running. Great price and performance is outstanding. Highly recommend.

It works well and is nice and quiet. This was important as I use it camping. I wish the fuel capacity was bigger as is does not quite last the night when running the heater and other appliances.

The generator adapts its power and fuel consumption according to the amount of energy you want to offer through use.

Excellent product highly recommend, noise level is very low and easy to move where you need to use it

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.

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
