About PowerSmart Generator, 2500 Watts Portable Inverter Generator
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
76% appreciated the fuel efficiency, though 24% didn't
I am getting 4-5 hours on a tank while running a 1500 heater.
I bought a different generator which is not as fuel efficient but doesnt waste or burn oil and runs better than this one.
80% appreciated the low maintenance
Oil should be changed after the first 10 hours of use, then every 6 months or 100 hours of use.
76% liked the quiet operation
The noise level of this brand is about the same as another brand of the same wattage I have.
The generator is quiet and makes only a little bit more noise when applying high wattage. It's hardly noticeable for what I use it for, and even the fan blower to inflate the portable movie screen is louder than the generator.
The noise level is pretty good compared to older generators. It's not silent, but I can talk without yelling when next to it.
In eco mode, the unit is very quiet, but it is not as quiet in higher rpm setting. However, it is still not bad.
72% praised the power output
Even with all items powered up, I noticed that the generator runs at almost idle and pumps up its RPM's only when it detects extra power is needed.
The generator runs at almost idle and pumps up its RPM's only when it detects extra power is needed.
After 6 hours of running, the generator is still supplying power to the house without any issues, indicating a good power output.
The generator has both power and portability, and the amount of running watts exceeded my expectations compared to the Japanese car company models which are almost twice the price.
I was able to run multiple devices without any issues, including a computer, monitor, two lamps, charged my phone, and ran a small space heater.
81% appreciated the safety features, although 19% encountered issues
I placed the generator on top of a metal-air handling unit while working on a roof, and it did not move an inch.
I have found that the generator needs to be drained of gas and oil before storing, which is inconvenient as it requires turning the generator upside down to drain gas from spout and running the engine until it runs out of gas. A better design should include taps to drain gas and oil.
