Our take on the PowerSmart 4800W Portable Inverter Generator

The PowerSmart 4800W is a portable inverter generator with 4,800 starting watts of clean, stable power for sensitive electronics. It has one-touch electric start, a fully enclosed body for quiet running, and a 3.4-gallon tank rated for up to 5 hours at full load, longer in ECO mode. Outlets cover a 120V 30A RV receptacle, two 120V 20A household outlets and USB ports, and two PS5046CE units can be paralleled to double output. It suits tailgaters, campers and homeowners who want backup power without a heavy conventional generator, though its full-load runtime is short next to fuel-sipping rivals.

Questions and answers

What is the running wattage versus the 4800W surge?
The 4800W figure is starting (surge) watts. Continuous running output is lower, so add up the running watts of what you plan to power and keep startup surges for motors in mind.
Can it run an RV air conditioner?
The 120V 30A RV outlet and 4,800 surge watts can handle many smaller RV air conditioners at startup. Larger units or multiple appliances at once may exceed its running capacity.
How loud is it?
PowerSmart describes the fully enclosed body as whisper-quiet, but no decibel rating is published. Expect inverter-generator noise that is quieter than open-frame models but still audible at close range.
How do I parallel two units?
The generator is parallel-ready, so two PS5046CE units can be linked to double output. The parallel kit is not included and must be bought separately.
What safety features does it have?
It has low oil shutdown, overload protection and CO Shield carbon monoxide protection, backed by a 2-year limited warranty.
Does it come with a battery for electric start?
It uses a one-touch electric starting system. Check the box contents for whether the starting battery is included before relying on push-button start.
