The P4500 PowerSmart Series of inverter generators from Briggs & Stratton includes two models – #030814 and #030836. The latter comes with an electric start while the former has a remote start. Both models feature the B&S’s Quiet Power Technology (QPT), CO Guard system, automatic voltage regulation, and a 3-year limited residential warranty. The Briggs & Stratton P4500 weighs about 104 pounds and comes with a wheel kit and a retractable handle for better portability. Regarding performance, the 224cc B&S OHV engine encased in the unit runs on a 3.5-gallon gas tank to produce 4,500 peak watts and 3,700 running watts. Ideally, the generator should run up to 16 hours at an electrical load of 25%. The fuel tank has a gauge so you can know when to refill the unit. Furthermore, the manufacturer has integrated its proprietary QPT system, which helps vary the engine speed. This means more fuel savings, lower emissions, and reduced operating noise levels. Both models are highly portable and suitable for camping but be prepared to pay a premium.
