| Summary | The Powerhorse LC4500i is a portable inverter generator designed to provide reliable and clean power for various applications, including home backup, camping, and outdoor events. It features a 212cc engine with electric start, producing 4,500 surge watts and 3,500 rated watts. The generator operates quietly at 57dB at 1/4 load and includes a parallel-ready design for connecting two units for increased power output. | The Predator 72936 is a 3650-watt gasoline inverter generator built to handle steady household and light commercial loads while delivering 4550 starting watts for equipment that draws surge current at startup. The inverter design protects sensitive electronics like laptops and televisions from voltage spikes. At this wattage, the unit can power a refrigerator, microwave, and several power tools simultaneously, making it suitable for RV trips, job site backup, or emergency home power during outages. |
