What to look for in top-rated generators

1. Power Output

The power output, measured in watts, determines how many appliances or devices your generator can run simultaneously. Identify your power needs by adding up the wattage of all the items you plan to run.

2. Fuel Type

Generators can run on gasoline, propane, diesel, or natural gas. The choice of fuel type will impact the generator's efficiency, noise level, and cost of operation.

3. Portability

Some generators are designed to be stationary while others are portable. If you need a generator for camping or job sites, consider a model with wheels and handles for easy transportation.

4. Noise Level

Generators can be quite loud when running. Check the decibel level if noise is a concern for you or your neighbors.

Why might I need an inverter generator? + -

Inverter generators are ideal for powering sensitive electronics as they produce clean, stable power. They're also typically quieter and more fuel-efficient than standard portable generators, making them perfect for camping trips or other outdoor activities.
