PowerSmart 2500-Watt Portable Inverter Generator with Quiet Technology

I purchased the PowerSmart 2500 Watt generator and couldn’t be happier. From the moment it arrived, setup was straightforward and easy to get it up and running. It’s compact yet powerful, perfect for home backup, camping, or powering tools in remote locations. The generator runs smoothly and quietly, and I was impressed by fuel efficiently. The build quality feels solid, and it started up effortlessly right out of the box. I’ve already used it during a brief power outage and it kept my essentials running without a hitch. Plus, the price point is unbeatable for the performance it delivers. Highly recommend this generator to anyone looking for dependable, portable power. Great value, great product!

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.

So far so good ! Started up on 2nd pull. Very quiet ! Runs lights, battery chargers, and my pancake air compressor.

Started pretty easy right out of the box after adding oil and gas. Easy to operate and will power what I need. Very quiet operation.

I’m very satisfied with this generator. I bought it mainly for backup power and for occasional outdoor use, and so far it has performed better than expected. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and the noise level is noticeably lower compared to other generators I’ve owned. The build quality feels solid, and the setup was straightforward even for someone who isn’t a mechanic. I tested it during a short outage with several appliances running at the same time. I plugged in my refrigerator which draws around 150W while running, a 700W coffee maker, a box fan at about 50W, and some LED lights that used around 20W. All together the load was well within the 2500W capacity, and the generator handled everything without any power drops or hesitation. My only complaint is that the fuel tank feels a bit small for longer use. It works great, but if you plan to run it for many hours, you will need to refill more often than with larger models. Overall, this generator has proven strong, quiet, and dependable for real day to day situations. Even with the small downside, I would still buy it again with no hesitation.

Great and durable generator. Thankfully it has wheels for easy mobility as it is heavy, but the wheels make it move with ease. Setup was easy and generator started on first pull. I connected several items to it to measure the output and it held up well. Great generator for the price and comparable to other more expensive well know brands. Very happy with the purchase thus far.

I attempted to return the generator after it would not stay running. Customer service would not let me return it and they said that I could keep it. Because they cannot return something that is hazmat. Turns out it was a mistake on my part not turning the valve on the "on" position while running it. There's an on and off switch on top of the gas cap. It does say to do that in the instructions but I must have missed it. Great value and excellent design. On a machine like this. I check the oil often, there is a door on the bottom that you can remove quickly instead of removing the whole entire cover. I really like the manual choke, sometimes in extreme cold weather you need the choke to stay closed so it warms up faster. It's very quiet especially on the Eco mode. It's also pretty lightweight not as heavy as it's competitors. I use it for a electric heater at 700 Watts and an engine block heater at 900 watts. I've had this thing running on one gallon for about 8 hours with non-ethanol gasoline on non-eco mode. Like I said before the design of this generator is excellent. The overflow for the carburetor bowl is nicely put away and drains well. It's much cheaper than Honda and just as quiet. They both weigh about the same and it lasts almost as long. Even if this thing breaks in 5 years you can buy another one and this will be cheaper than 1 Honda.

I bought this generator after reviewing the ratings of other similar wattage machines. The ratings were favorable, but this has not been my experience with this unit or with the company. I used this generator for a one week camping trip with my travel trailer. I went through the proper break-in procedure, including the oil change. The generator worked fine during the trip, 12 hours run time, no issues... I came home and put the generator into storage, draining the carb and treating the fuel in the tank. Over the winter, the oil drain let loose, spilling half the oil contents into the bottom of the machine and onto my (climate controlled) basement floor. I contacted customer support and they directed me to the nearest service provider which they had a contract with. This was 35 miles away. I called this service place and they immediately informed me that they currently had a lawn mower there from this company which they had been waiting on parts for for over 5 months. Bad Omen. I didn't have a choice and dropped it off there. After 7 weeks, they had diagnosed the issue as a missing crush washer, and a misaligned oil filling tube. I told them the crush washer never existed on the unit when I got it (and did the oil change), but that seemed like an easy solution. They agreed, but said that the company did not have a crush washer to send for this unit and that the misaligned oil fill tube couldn't be fixed. They contacted the company and were told to give the the option of keeping the generator??? or receiving a refund. No brainer... I opted for the refund and the paper work was sent in by them. I was then contacted by Power Smart within 2 business days, which was fantastic, and told to send the original purchase receipt, which I did. I was then contacted by Power Smart telling me I would get a check sent to me... for 70% of the original price... So, for all my inconvenience with cleaning up an oil mess, driving out of my way, and then waiting, I'm rewarded with giving this company over $220.00 for my efforts! (this was the 30% difference which the company got to keep for selling me a defective generator unit). The contracted service center that I went to told me they have decided that working with this company is a true nightmare and will not be renewing their contract with Power Smart. No surprise there... So buyer beware.
