Portable Generator Review




Many homeowners are looking for a reliable portable gas powered electric generators. I recommend a 5000 watt portable generator or higher. There are many different brand generators available on the market. The best piece of advice I can give you is to find a portable generator that is made in the USA or most of the parts being made in the USA. You will be much happier if you do.

I can say I’m a very happy homeowner that does not worry much about power outages these days. I bought a Generac Portable Gas Powered Generator due to all of the bad weather we get here in the east.

One of the big reasons I’m so proud of my portable generator is that it is mostly made in the USA. This generator is pure quality and starts easily. I like it because it’s quiet also. My Generac carries a 2 year warranty that I’m still on but I have had zero problems so far. My neighbor has a generator that didn’t work during our last power outage. He had to put his in the shop. I’m sure he was mad listening to mine generating electricity and running my house while he was dark and burning candles.

I have heard reports of shoddy workmanship on electric generators that have parts made outside the USA.

Portable Electric Generator For Your Home

As a homeowner, I’m looking for standy power in case my home should suffer a power outage. I live on the east coast and hurricanes are common and so are tropical storms. A portable gas powered generator will allow me to keep certain things in m y house going until the power can get cut back on. I have had entire freezers full of food go to ruin because I lost power. In my case, several hundred dollars worth of meat.

It makes sense to me to buy a portable generator as a backup when it only costs about the same as all the food I have stored in my freezer.

A 5000 watt generator or above will run moist of the appliances in your home at once including the refrigerator, freezer, TV, microwave and several lights. You will stay comfortable while your neighbors who do not have a generator will be miserable.

How many watts do you need? Check out the chart below to determine the requirements for a portable generator.
