What are the key features to look for when choosing a portable generator?
Some essential features include fuel type or efficiency, wattage and size. Portable gas generators or diesel generators are extremely popular for outdoor use. Gas or diesel portable generators with an electric start are easier to use than a traditional pull-start. For cleaner power and more fuel efficiency, consider exploring inverter generators and dual fuel portable generators.
What are the noise levels typically associated with portable generators, and are there quieter options?
Most portable generators have a clearly marked noise rating. A noise level below 60-dB (decibels) is considered ideal. Dual fuel and inverter generators are among the quietest running portable generators.
Are there portable generator models designed for off-grid or remote locations?
Most portable power generators can be used for remote areas, but thanks to their fuel efficiency, dual fuel generators are a popular choice. Since many of these power sources need to operate outdoors, generator accessories will go a long way protect them from the elements and keep them at optimal performance.
