The i45 is the next size up from the i30. It’s built for caravanning, backing up the house when the power drops, and running a job site off-grid. It makes 4500W starting and 3700W running, which is enough to replace two smaller generators run in parallel with one unit. It’s also simpler and more reliable than running a pair.
It runs on a 212cc four-stroke air-cooled engine with a 7L tank. The pure sinewave output keeps laptops, TVs and other sensitive gear safe. In ECO mode the engine speed matches the load, so you’re not burning fuel when you’re only running a few lights. It stays quiet as well, at 55–60dB at 7m.
It’s built to get around. It has a telescopic suitcase-style handle, big wheels and integrated grab points, so you can wheel it across a section or up a ramp. The flat top lets you stack gear on it in the shed or on the trailer, and the frame is reinforced for strength.
Everything sits on one control panel, and the automatic choke makes starting easy. A digital display shows voltage, frequency and hours at a glance. On top of the AC power you get a 12V 8A DC outlet and dual 5V USB ports.
