Features

  • Dual Fuel Versatility & Power

    Choose your fuel source: Gasoline (4.4kW Surge/3.6kW Rated) or LPG (4.0kW Surge/3.3kW Rated). This flexibility ensures you have power during emergencies when gas stations are closed, utilizing the long shelf life of propane.

  • 223cc 4-Stroke Engine

    Powered by a heavy-duty OHV single-cylinder engine with a forced air-cooling system. Designed for high-demand tasks, it delivers a massive 30A Max AC Amperage (Gas), making it capable of starting high-induction motors and power tools easily.

  • RV Ready & Multiple Outlets

    Featuring a standard 120V AC output with up to 30A capacity, this unit is built for RV enthusiasts. Power your 13,500 BTU RV air conditioner, lights, and kitchen appliances simultaneously without the need for complex adapters.

  • Fuel‑Efficient

    When operated on gasoline, the 1.6‑gallon fuel tank enables 8‑hour runtime at 25% load. Under 100% load propane operation, the fuel consumption reaches 3.31 lbs per hour, and a standard 20‑lb propane cylinder supports approximately 6 hours (The generator prioritizes propane supply upon connection of dual‑fuel sources)

  • Professional Grade & Portable Design

    Built with a rugged frame and compact footprint (19.3x16.9x16.5 in). At 65 lbs, it balances heavy-duty output with manageable portability. Features a 12V DC output for battery charging and an optimized muffler (76dB at 23ft) for site-compliant operation.

    Dual fuel 4400w generator

    Box was beat up and had a hole in it when it arrived. I wasn't sure if I should take it out or send it back. Decided to open it, filled it with 10w-30 oil and hooked it up to my propane tank. It started right up. Let it run for about 5 minutes before shutting it down. Nice to have an alternative to my other gas generator. Thank you Powersmart!

    Just as good looking generator out of the box as on line photos

    Just as good looking generator out of the box as in the on line photos. Added oil to the crankcase, pulled the rope a few times to get fresh oil on the moving parts inside the engine, put some gas in the tank, turned the gas valve to the on setting, set the choke to full choke, flipped the switch on the front panel to on, pulled the rope and it staring on the third pull. It was running smooth on both the ECO mode and full run mode. Also did a run test on LP. 124 volts AC Thumbs Up! Thanks!

    Never heard of this brand till bout 3 years ago and I decided to roll the dice cause it was brand new and only $400. It could have been a bust. Turned out to be a great buy. I genuinely like everything about it,especially that low,smooth rumble. I believe this Genny just may outlive me!

Questions & Answers

  • How many hour run with propane

    With a standard 20‑lb propane cylinder, the generator runs approximately 6 hours at 100% full load (fuel consumption: 3.31 lbs/hour). Runtime will be longer under lighter loads. For reference, on gasoline with the 1.6‑gallon tank, runtime is 8 hours at 25% load. Note: When both fuel sources are connected, the generator prioritizes propane automatically.

    Answered by powersmart
  • Can this power a well pump, freezer and refrigerator?

    Yes. The generator delivers 3,600W running / 4,400W surge on gasoline – sufficient to handle all three. The surge capacity covers motor startup spikes for pumps and compressors. For best results, start the pump first, then plug in the other appliances to avoid simultaneous peak loads.

    Answered by POWERSMART
  • Can it run two large TV's refrigerator and a fan?

    Yes, absolutely. This generator provides 3600 running watts, while your listed appliances (two large TVs, a refrigerator, and a fan) typically draw only about 300–1400W total. Even with the fridge's startup surge, the 4400 surge watts can handle it with ease.
