PowerSmart 4400W Open Frame Inverter Generator, Gas Powered, CO-Sensor, Lightweight & Quiet for Home Use and Emergency Backup, Camping, EPA Compliant

So far it has been great, I run a AC, fridge, and a fan in my camper. I've yet to add more items. My camper needs 3500 to run everything this little thing give me 3800 running power, so only time will tell. Because I read other reviews I remember to do opposite of sticker on the choke. I did notice if I place about half way between run and choke it's easier for me to start it. Now I did have issues with it flooding, was my fault. I didn't shut off the fuel, when I shut it down. Took me some time to realize my mistake in 98° weather. So remember to shut of fuel and go back to choke when shut down also don't forget the on/off switch. So far with fuel has made it around 6 hrs on econo. It has a less than 2 gallon tank, so I think that's a win. It weights maybe 60lbs and I can handle it, even full of gas. The price was something I could afford, I did get it cheaper through prime days. I've used it about 6xs now, if it fails I'll update my review. If it hold up holds up, I may purchase another so I can tie them together. So far it's been reliable. But make sure wind isn't blowing into your exhaust, the CO sensor will shut I off if it get back exhaust. I think putting it on wheels would help if the wind does shift.

This was to be a back up for me. When placed in service, it ran 9 hours total and died. Would not restart. Contacted Customer service. 7 emails later, I still have not heard from them other than a form response to the first saying they would get back to me. I found that the oil sensor was no good, so I bypassed it temporarily until they send me a new one, again, if I ever hear from them. It was using a lot of gas, so I watched it running. Gas was dripping out the bottom of the carb, about 1 inch from the hot exhaust! It was also coming out of the air filter and no, I didn't over fill the tank. I have redirected that hose for now. The carb bowl I replaced with a used one and I could see that the hole in the bowl for the bolt was not round, but more oblong and it didnt sit right, causing the leak. The used one is working until they send a new one, again, if ever they respond. I changed the oil at 25 hours and it came out like it had been in there for hundreds. Black as can be. It is absolute garbage. The company is useless and not worth your time. Spend a little more and get another cheapo or, like me, spend the money for a GOOD generator, like Honda or Cummins.

Worked well. Not very noisy. Was able to power my 8"planer. Pretty compact. No overload light . Didn't run it that long will have to test further but initial start up went well. I did have a small puddle of oil or something was supposed to come dry but believe it had a tiny bit in it to keep parts lubricated. No cosmetic damage was actually supprised it's a generator being shipped lol. Came super quick few days boom at my door. Weight isn't bad at all for a guy my daughter and wife weren't able to lift it though. Has wheels and handles you put on kinda cheap but for the price go to harbor freight get some better wheels and use few metal pieces to make more sturdy handle brackets. I don't plan on moving this around much so doesn't bother me. Didn't get to test it on electronics or for a long period of time also need to test it with my table saw. Rpms do kick up when it's under a load but that's expected. Check ur air filter mine did have oil or something in it that's where the small puddle came from I cleaned it off let it dry out and level out for a bit filled with 10w-30 97octane gas don't use 85. Turned in choke let it run few seconds then switched it to on position a cut some wood. I did a video but it was too long will do another short video for demonstration purposes. Overall pretty happy if it does do electronics

works great, 7 hours on a tank, relatively quiet compared to the older non inverter gens. Fridge, 5 chargers, 2 laptops, and occasional washing machine without stalling out.

Generator works great. Only problem is that it will not stay in place when using it on cement, had to block it off. Have Only used LP for now.

Haven't had to use it yet but at least I'm prepared for the next hurricane. I've had others and the only downside I see is a somewhat small fuel tank. Great deal with a good price
