The HY4500SEi is a compact yet powerful portable inverter generator from Hyundai. Providing a convenient and cost-effective source of power, this portable generator is the perfect for providing power whilst camping or in a caravan away from mains power or for use in a garden workshop.

The HY4500SEI houses the latest Hyundai digital inverter technology designed to cope with the extreme inductive loads applied when using power tools and electric motors with high start-up currents. The LCD display makes it easy to monitor the performance of the generator, displaying voltage, frequency and hour count.

Powered by the Hyundai HY225E 223cc 4-stroke OHV engine, producing a max output of 4kW / 5kVA and continuous power of 3.8kW / 4.75kVA, the HY4500SEi camping generator is capable of powering microwaves, hair straighteners, air conditioning units, televisions, small air compressors for inflatable beds, electric heaters, power tools, laptops, lights and much more allowing you to take the modern luxuries from home with you wherever you go.

The control panel features a 12v DC battery charging outlet, as well as two 230v sockets for use with any appliance which uses a standard 3-pin 13A UK mains plug. The HY4500SEi is a very quiet generator and based on an average 50% load, the noise level is just 59dB at 7m - around the same noise level as a normal conversation - making it a quiet generator for camping and caravanning.

The compact symmetrical design of this portable generator makes it easy to store and transport in the back of your car or van.

Weighing 50kg, this - combined with the folding front, moulded rear soft-grip handle and heavy-duty rear wheels - makes transportation easy, even across rough or uneven surfaces.

Producing a pure sine wave output, it can safely power sensitive electronics without the risk of damaging or overloading them. Starting the generator is simple after connecting the battery and switching ON, simply press the start button on the key fob and the generator will start immediately, there is also a recoil pull-start backup for emergency situations.

Leisure generators are designed for weekend and holiday use or standby use. This generator is not designed for continuous daily use or off-grid power supply.

*Covered by HYUNDAI 3 year platinum warranty. Terms and Conditions apply.

Generator arrived next day on a pallet, great piece of kit just make sure to remove battery panel and connect plug. You also need 0.6l of oil as machine comes dry. Runs quiet and has remote start also. 5 stars on this beauty.

Brilliant piece of kit! Only thing I would say is they need to tell you to open the front cover to access the battery for the start stop function.

I can't recommend these guys enough. Speedy delivery and every packed nice a securely. The generator is super quiet, and the remote stop start is so convenient. As others have commented. Connect the two push fit terminals in the battery housing, and top the oil up before starting. I'm very impressed with everything.

Received Wednesday and used with the caravan over the weekend. Brilliantly easy to start. Once it settles within a few seconds it is super quiet. Ran it behind the caravan and if I did not stop to purposefully listen for it then we never knew it was there. Is quite a beefy unit also!

Excellent generator for the price. Surprisingly good on fuel too. Love it! Just be aware that generator wants a thorough check over before starting the first time. Battery needs connecting. On mine the spark plug wasn't connected right on arrival and air filter housing was loose. Easy sorted once I'd identified the problem. I would be happy to buy another Hyundai Generator from Generators Direct. 5 Stars for both seller and product.
