EcoFlow Smart Generator 3000 (Dual Fuel)
Product Description
This is the answer to a power station with a flat battery and a week of clouds. The Smart Generator 3000 runs on regular unleaded or a propane cylinder and refills any EcoFlow station through a normal AC cable. On a full 4-litre tank it holds 2,000W for about 2.8 hours at full load, and switches fuel types without tools.

Pair it with a station, not instead of one
Think of this as backup for your backup. Run your power station off solar day to day, then bring the generator out only when a stretch of bad weather or heavy use drains the battery faster than the sun can refill it. It charges the station through a standard AC cable at the same rate as a wall outlet, so it slots into a routine you already have.
Gasoline or propane, your call
- Unleaded gasoline: 1.06 gal (4 L) tank, about 2.8 hours at full 2,000W load
- LPG (propane): swap the fuel source with no modification, rated power drops slightly to 1,800W
- Useful if you keep propane on hand for a stove or heater already and would rather not store gasoline
Who it's not for
Not for anyone who needs silence — 69 dB at 7 metres is quieter than most generators but still audible across a campsite. Not for indoor or enclosed use under any circumstances; it's a combustion engine and needs open air. And if you only ever plan to run off solar, this is a sit-in-the-garage insurance policy, not a daily tool.
Common questions about this product
Yes. At 2,000W continuous it's well beyond the 30-60W a typical 12V compressor fridge draws, so it can power one directly through an inverter or via a power station. Most owners use it to recharge the station instead and let the station run the fridge quietly.
No faster than plugging into household AC — it feeds the station's standard AC input port, so recharge time matches what you'd see charging from a wall outlet at home. Its value isn't speed, it's being able to do that recharge anywhere the sun hasn't shown up for days, off a tank of gasoline or a propane bottle.
Yes, that's the entire point of the dual-fuel design. Switch to an LPG cylinder and it starts and runs the same way as on gasoline, just at a slightly lower rated output — 1,800W continuous versus 2,000W on gasoline, with no tools or modification needed to change fuel types.
69 dB measured at 7 metres under full load — roughly the volume of a running dishwasher heard from across a room. That's on the quiet end for a generator this size, but it's still an outdoor tool: never run it in a tent, van interior, garage, or anywhere without open ventilation, because of exhaust fumes.
No. It's a combustion engine carrying a tank of gasoline, and airlines won't allow fuel-burning equipment of any kind in checked or carry-on luggage under any circumstances, regardless of how empty you drain the tank before packing it away for the trip.
About 2.8 hours on a full 1.06-gallon (4-litre) gasoline tank running at the full 2,000W nominal load. Draw less power than that — say, just trickle-charging a station overnight rather than running it flat out — and the same tank will stretch noticeably longer.
