2500 Watt Portable Inverter Generator for Camping

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!

This generator has become a must-have for our tailgates. It’s surprisingly quiet and runs about 6–8 hours on a gallon of gas, depending on how many things we have plugged in. You can really feel the durability in its weight—it’s solid without being too heavy and stores easily. We’ve taken it to several tailgating spots, and it’s held up well against weather and travel. It’s been an easy, reliable way to power lights, speakers, and small appliances while we’re out, and it’s definitely made our tailgating setup more convenient. For anyone looking for an affordable, portable generator that works well for outdoor events, this is a solid pick. It’s been a great upgrade for our family.

Blown away for the price point. Pulled it out of the box, added oil, hooked to propane, and started on third pull. Ran it for 30 minutes hooked to my RV running my 8000watt A/C AND my 110v mini fridge/ lights etc. no issues whatsoever. You could definitely hear it spike when AC kicked on, but handled it well and ran impressively smooth and quiet. Will be perfect for tailgating, weekend camping, or as a backup when we lose power at the house. Would definitely buy another. Very happy so far.

This generator helped get us through the recent ice storm that passed through Tennessee. We lost power in the morning but were still able to have coffee, run the microwave, charge all our computers and phones, and even run a space heater. Not all at the same time, because I was careful not to go over the 25 or so amps I could get total out of the machine. It started up on the first pull after filling oil and gas in very cold weather and ran without a problem. It was a little louder than I thought it would be, but being on a wooden deck may have made it louder.

I ordered this generator to use for boondocking with my camper. The instructions were clear about how to set the unit up. After getting it set up (oil and gas added), it fired right up. I plugged in two phone chargers and a circuit tester into the unit and it was working perfectly. I hope the long term longevity matches the initial quality. I was pleasantly surprised with the noise level of the unit as it is even quieter than I had hoped. In addition, the weight of this generator is plenty light enough to be able to move around with ease. Be aware that the oil does not come with the unit and that will have to be purchased separately before you set up and run this generator (oil type clearly communicated on the set up instructions).

This is my very first generator I’ve ever owned. For me it’s a little bit heavy but when I watch videos, those guys just pick it up like it’s nothing. I bought a cart for it and a cover. When it’s a yucky day out and my solar isn’t working this thing does fantastic. I’m also running my portable air conditioner with it just to try to beat some of the Consumers Energy costs. I like it. It’s easy to use and it is pretty quiet.

Just received this generator a few days ago. I bought it as a backup in case of power failures so I can run a refrigerator, a few electronics, and recharge devices. I’ve put oil in it and started it on propane and it seems to work great. It is not too loud, can be moved relatively easily, and is a good size to run a few key items (though of course it won’t power a whole house). It does come with a propane hose and regulator; I’m mentioning that specifically because there is some inconsistency between what’s listed here and what’s in the manual. It also came with a small oil funnel and spark plug wrench.

I love my Powersmart generator. I am a 61 year old woman who has had heath issues, but I am able to load this generator into my pickup bed without any help. I use it exclusively with propane, because filling it with gas makes it too heavy for me to lift. I had to figure out the trick to getting it to start on propane, which is to make sure there is no air in the propane line by releasing a bit of propane before hooking it to the generator, and then very slowly opening the propane valve. Once I got that figured out, I’ve had no trouble at all with this generator. However, I did have to get a new oil plug for it because the first one was screwed on incorrectly, and the threads were stripped out.

Good Quiet little generator Fits nicely into our truck camper compartment ( you’d think it was made for it :) )

Problems runs great

Very nice generator, add oil and gas and started right up and very quiet.

Très bon , très silencieuse !

Well I got it and filled it with oil and gas, put the choke on and in one pull it started then turned the choke off and it ran fantastic. Put it in eco mode and the thing is super quiet in fact I think it's quieter than a Honda. Now just to test it under load for what I bought it for but so far so good
