4,700 Watts of Dual Fuel Inverter Power — Clean Enough for Electronics, Ready When the Grid Isn’t
The BE Power Equipment BE4700ID is a dual fuel generator that runs on gasoline or propane and delivers 4,700 starting watts of clean inverter power. As a portable generator it stays quiet and refined enough to charge phones, laptops, and other sensitive electronics, yet it carries enough load to keep a fridge, lights, and a few tools running when the power drops. Push-button electric start, a lithium-ion battery, and a telescopic handle make it as easy to live with as it is to move.
It’s built for people who want backup power without the bulk of an open-frame unit: homeowners riding out a storm outage, tailgaters and campers who need clean quiet power, and tradesmen who want a light second generator on the truck. Switch to propane for cleaner, long shelf-life fuel that starts easily in the cold, or run gasoline when you want the full 4,700 starting watts — the choice is yours every time you fire it up.
Key Features
-
4,700 starting / 3,800 running watts on gasoline (4,000 / 3,500 on propane) — — dual-fuel output that covers a fridge, lights, and a few power tools, or feeds clean power to sensitive electronics.
-
True dual-fuel design (gasoline or propane) — — run 86-octane gas for maximum output or propane for clean fuel that stores for years and starts in the cold.
-
Pure inverter power at max 3% total harmonic distortion — — safe, stable voltage for laptops, phones, and control boards that an open-frame generator can damage.
-
Powerease 160cc OHV engine with electric and recoil start — — push-button starting backed by a recoil pull, plus automatic low-oil shutdown that guards the engine.
-
Automatic CO detector — — shuts the unit down before carbon-monoxide levels turn dangerous, an added safety layer near enclosed spaces.
-
Lithium-ion battery, LED floodlight, and Sub-Zero cold-start — — onboard extras that keep it starting and working when conditions turn against you.
-
Enclosed sound-dampening shell rated 63 dB at 7 m — — quiet enough for a campsite or a residential job without shouting over it.
-
Telescopic handle and wheels on a 58 lb frame — — one person rolls it off the truck and repositions it, no second set of hands needed.
Power and Setup Requirements
✔︎ Add up the running watts of what you plan to power, then leave headroom for start-up surge — this unit covers 3,800 running / 4,700 starting on gas (3,500 / 4,000 on propane).
✔︎ Choose your fuel: keep fresh 86-octane gasoline (up to 10% ethanol) for maximum output, or a standard propane tank for clean, long-storage backup.
✔︎ This is a 120V model — there is no 240V outlet; power your loads from the two GFCI 20A duplex receptacles or the 30A twist-lock (NEMA L5-30R).
✔︎ Run outdoors only, well away from windows and doors — the built-in CO detector adds protection but never replaces proper ventilation.
✔︎ Compact and light at 58 lbs (69 lbs boxed) — easy for one person to lift and load without a pallet or liftgate.
