DuroStar DS4850EH - 4850 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator
As ecological footprint becomes more critical, this 4,850-watt portable generator allows you to make an impact using innovative Dual Fuel Technology to run using gasoline and propane, with the latter being a clean-burning fuel source that produces 50% lower carbon emissions whilst being cheaper.
Push the boundaries of off-the-grid capabilities with the DuroStar DS4850EH. This 122lbs unit is perfect for camping trips and job sites thanks to a compact and portable design.
Capable of sustaining an impressive 3,850 watts of running power, the DuroStar DS4850EH offers a reliable and trustworthy solution to your needs, including charging external batteries and powering high-amperage power tools and small and large appliances.
While this dual-fuel portable generator focuses on providing power on the go, it does not compromise runtime. On a full 4-gallon fuel tank, this unit can last for up to 10 hours of ongoing use at half load, making it small enough to be easily relocated thanks to foldable handles and solid tires, but also capable enough to power your appliances with peace of mind.

DuroStar Power
Packed into a compact size, the 210cc engine is capable of pushing 3,850 watts of running power, accommodating heavy use when powering heavy-duty power tools, and automatically lowering its speeds when it detects it’s not being used in order to save fuel and money through idle control.
As a standard in DuroStar generators, the DS4850EH is equipped with 100% copper windings to improve heat dissipation. While conventional aluminum windings quickly overheat, damaging the unit over time, copper is a superior heat conductor that efficiently scatters heat and keeps the unit intact for a long time.
Dual Fuel Technology
Providing freedom of choice, convenience, and safer use, the DS4850EH uses Dual Fuel Technology to power its engine using both gasoline and propane. This is especially relevant since propane emits far lower carbon emissions and doesn’t need to be warmed up to start the engine. This makes this unit perfect for homeowners, professionals, and camping enthusiasts who plan on using the unit in cold locations or weather.
At 50% load, the 4,850-watt portable generator scores up to 10 hours of continuous use while gas-powered, and 9 hours while using propane to make sure you’re focused on what’s truly important to you.
The side-mounted power panel includes a fuel input switch that allows you to choose which fuel to use and being producing power in seconds.

EPA and CARB-Approved
By following a strict set of directives regarding carbon emissions, the DS4850EH remains safe to use thanks to reduced emissions of toxic fumes and unhealthy particles.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) set these guidelines to control toxic emissions and air pollution. Since the DS4850EH is both EPA and CARB-approved, it provides a safer and healthier environment for users in close proximity.
Tough and Reliable
Built using full metal construction and sturdy frames, the 4,850-watt portable generator can handle quite a bit of roughing up, which is inevitable. This dual-fuel unit is resistant to harsh weather conditions as well in order to provide you with years of reliability and peace of mind.
To complement its compact build, the 122lbs portable generator features a convenient set of foldable handles that allow you to easily relocate and move around, while semi-solid tires provide greater grip and an easier time moving through rough terrain. In addition, they never run flat.
Fully Loaded Power Panel
Built for maximum compatibility, the DS4850EH features multiple outlets to allow for different uses. For instance, the power panel includes an L14-30R receptacle, making the unit transfer switch-ready. This means that you can directly plug the unit into your home breaker box and immediately power your household using the rocket switch or recoil mechanism.
In addition, a circuit breaker is capable of shutting the engine down in case of overload while the low oil shutoff does so when it’s running low on oil. Besides that, the fully featured power panel includes an oil gauge that allows you to quickly get information about current use.
Benefits of Using Propane
While fossil fuels produce roughly 5% more power, they also emit disproportionate amounts of toxic emissions. Opting for a clean-burning fuel source such as propane yields multiple benefits:
