MXR4800IE 4800W Inverter Generator - Remote Start

A 3800 running watt inverter generator like the MXR4800IE handles most home backup essentials simultaneously: refrigerator, freezer, lights, internet, and a few devices at once. For RV use, it comfortably runs a 30A RV connection with an AC unit, microwave, and other systems. On a job site, it powers multiple hand tools in rotation.

The MXR4800IE includes a remote start key fob in the box. You can start or stop the generator from a distance without walking out to it — useful when it’s raining, when you’re inside the RV, or when the generator is staged away from your work area. Electric start and recoil are also available as backups.

The MXR4800IE includes a built-in CO sensor. If carbon monoxide accumulates to dangerous levels near the generator, it automatically shuts the engine off and triggers an LED alert on the panel. This is a meaningful safety feature — but it does not replace running the generator outdoors and away from windows, doors, and vents. Always use outside in well-ventilated areas, never in a garage or enclosed space.

Up to 8.3 hours at 25% load is closer to lighter essential use — refrigerator, lights, router, chargers, and selective electronics running in Eco mode.

Fuel consumption increases significantly at higher loads. Running multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously will reduce runtime well below the rated estimate. Always size your actual load, not just the generator’s peak rating.

MXR is produced by MaXpeedingrods, an engineering company founded in 2006 that builds performance and power equipment for real-world use. Operating under IATF 16949 quality management systems — the same standard used by automotive manufacturers — MaXpeedingrods has served over 4 million customers worldwide.

The MXR4800IE was designed for people who want genuine portability without sacrificing output. At 59 lb in a compact suitcase enclosure, it’s one of the lightest generators available at 3800 running watts. The copper-wound stator delivers lower resistance, better heat efficiency, and longer motor life compared to aluminum alternatives.

Remote start capability, pure sine wave output, CO auto-shutdown, and parallel capability combine features you normally find spread across multiple price points into one machine. Parallel capability lets two units link for up to 7600W of combined running output.

MXR generators carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty with free lifetime technical support. Durvy Supply provides direct support from Union, Missouri. Call or email us any time before or after your purchase.

Peak watts (4800W) is the maximum surge the generator can handle for 1–2 seconds — typically when a motor starts. Running watts (3800W) is what it can sustain continuously. Plan your total load around running watts, not peak.

Yes. The MXR4800IE produces pure sine wave output with less than 3% THD — the same quality of power you get from your home utility. Laptops, CPAP machines, Starlink, televisions, and routers are all safe to connect.

The control panel includes 2x 120V 20A outlets, 1x 120V 30A locking outlet (L5-30R), and 2x USB ports. The L5-30R is the standard 30A RV connection.

The generator includes a key fob remote in the box. Press the button to start or stop the generator from a distance. Electric start and recoil backup are also available if the remote isn’t handy or the battery is low.

Eco mode adjusts engine speed to match the actual load rather than running at full speed continuously. Use it when running lighter loads — it reduces fuel consumption, extends runtime, and lowers noise. Turn it off when you need to start high-draw appliances like AC units or pumps.

Yes. Two MXR4800IE units can be connected in parallel to effectively double the output. A parallel kit is required (not included). This can be useful if you need more than 3800W of sustained power without stepping up to a larger generator.

Yes. The L5-30R outlet is the standard 30A RV connection. If you have a specific RV configuration you want to verify first, call us at 314-833-8000.

Yes, for 13,500 BTU units in most cases. A 13,500 BTU RV AC draws about 1500 running watts and up to 3000 startup watts — within the MXR4800IE’s capacity, leaving room for other appliances. A 15,000 BTU unit draws roughly 1800 running and 3500+ startup watts, which may push the limit depending on what else is running. Actual performance depends on temperature and unit age.

No. The MXR4800IE ships without engine oil. Before the first start, add the correct amount of SAE 10W-30 oil on a level surface. Running it without oil will cause engine damage not covered under warranty.

Unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 or gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol. For storage, run the fuel system dry or use a fuel stabilizer to prevent carburetor issues.

The built-in CO sensor monitors carbon monoxide levels near the generator. If it detects unsafe levels, the generator automatically shuts off and the CO LED alert activates. This is a safety feature, not a substitute for always running the generator outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from windows, doors, and vents.

Yes. The MXR4800IE is EPA compliant and can be sold and operated in 49 states. It is not CARB compliant and is not available for sale in California.

Yes. The MXR4800IE includes low oil auto-shutdown. If the oil level drops below a safe threshold, the generator will automatically shut off and the low oil LED will activate. Always check oil before each use.

Yes. Durvy Supply ships the MXR4800IE free. Orders typically ship within 1 business day and arrive within 1–5 business days depending on destination.

We offer a 30-day return window for a full refund. Returns are free by mail. If you have an issue with your order, call 314-833-8000 or email sales@durvy.com and we’ll make it right.

MaXpeedingrods provides a 2-year warranty against defects in workmanship under normal residential use, plus free lifetime technical support. The warranty does not cover damage from improper use, lack of maintenance, or running without oil. Call us if you have a warranty question and we’ll walk you through the process.
