Bestselling Portable Generators:
There are many portable generators on the market, each with it's own output rating and price. Portable generators can provide a vital lifeline in case a storm such as a tornado or hurricane disrupts the public power grid. Switching on a portable generator can make life a lot more bearable by keeping the lights and refrigerator running.
Some portable generators are designed for recreational use, usually providing a lower output. Recreational generators are made for camping and for recreational vehicles, and can be used to power small appliances for long periods.
There are several manufacturers of portable generators, among them Honda, Yamaha, Subaru, Champion, Briggs & Stratton, Sportsman, and Honeywell. Since introducing the E300 model in 1965, Honda has been a leader in lightweight hand-carried portable generators.
Among key features that buyers should look for when choosing a portable generator include electric key or push-button start, low oil shutdown, a large fuel tank of five gallons or more, an hour meter showing how long the generator has been running, idle control for fuel economy and reduced maintenance, and portability provided by handles and wheels.
Portable generators can be powered by either gasoline or diesel, plus natural gas and propane. Clean natural gas generators are increasing in popularity, since they emit no fumes. Gasoline and diesel models could be affected by service station closures during a storm. Propane generators are pre-filled into tanks, plus burn cleanly and do not emit fumes. Scarce propane sources during times of emergency is a concern.
