5.4kVA (4500W) MaxWatt Petrol Inverter Generator MX4500IS

4,500 watts maximum, 3,700 watts continuous, and 63dBA while doing it. The MX4500IS is the electric start mid-point of MaxWatt's digital inverter range, running a 223cc four stroke and putting out pure sine power that treats your electronics gently.

Nine hours at half load from its 10 litre tank covers a night at the campsite or a day on the tools, and at 52kg with remote start on the key fob it is an easy generator to live with, in Townsville or anywhere the road goes.

It also carries 2-wire auto start, which means it can pair with a transfer switch for hands-free home backup rather than being a purely portable machine.
