Best Portable Generators

This is a fantastic generator to be used for emergency backup power. It comes with electric start, which is a huge plus--no more having to mess with recoil during an emergency. It's affordable and will power your fridge, sump pump and a few other items during a storm. This peace of mind is worth every penny! We think this machine is a great item!

This quiet 3700 watt generator is great for RV use as it is quiet, has electric start, and comes with the 30-amp 120-volt RV receptacle. This inverter also offers the benefits of being a dual fuel model. The unit can operate on either gasoline or propane (LP). This is make it very flexible and convenient to fit your needs. At times it can be hard to store or travel with gasoline therefore propane is a great alternative. If you are looking for something lightweight, this model takes the cake at only 98 lbs, which is almost half of a conventional style portable generator. The iGen4500DF continues to make it onto our top product list.

Generac's iQ3500 is on of the most versatile generators on the market. It is great to be used with food trucks, camping, tailgating, DIY projects, and minor use for home back up. With 3000 running & 3500 starting watts the unit is on the larger side of some of it's competitors inverter units. Comes equipped with a duplex, home type outlet as well a 30-amp 120-volt twistlock outllet that can easily be adapted to an RV outlet if need be. Speaking of RV use this is an Ultra Quiet unit that meets most, if not all, RV and camp ground noise requirements so you will not disturb your neighbors! The Generac iQ3500 features an on board battery for electric start, economy mode that will help you be more fuel efficient and even quieter, as well as a PowerDial that streamlines your start up process. Finally, one of my personal favorite features in the parallel capabilities. You can easily connect two of the Genearc iQ3500 to double your output.

The Kubota GL7000, with its 479cc Kubota Z482 liquid-cooled diesel engine, is by far one of the best professional generators available. This model is primarily used on job sites, but can also be used for home applications with a 2-wire automatic transfer switch. The large 7.4-gallon fuel tank will provide up to 10 hours of run time. A large capacity oil pan provides oil change intervals up to 200 hours, and, with a dual-element air filter design, it can handle those dusty conditions found on construction sites. If you are looking for a top quality generator that has multiple uses, look no further than our "best" recommended unit.
