Question 1

Are there features on a portable generator that help protect my devices and me?

Accepted Answer

Features like a CO shutoff, overload protection, and GFCI outlets protect your electronic devices and you from potential hazards. A CO shutoff prevents carbon monoxide buildup, while overload protection guards against damage from overworking the generator. OSHA-required GFCI outlets provide safety for any sensitive electronic equipment you plug in.

Question 2

What kind of portable generator do I need for a camping trip?

Accepted Answer

A smaller, quieter, and more fuel-efficient generator with a smaller output is ideal for a typical camping trip. Consider a generator with a low noise rating and fuel efficiency for your peace of mind and to extend your trip.

Question 3

What are the pros of a recoil start on a portable generator?

Accepted Answer

Recoil start generators offer a simple and reliable way to power up, but they may require some effort, especially in cold weather. Electric start generators are more accessible but may require a battery or external power source.

Question 4

What size portable generator do I need?

Accepted Answer

You'll want to consider the wattage of the appliances you want to power and factor in a safety margin. For basic needs like lighting and a refrigerator, a 2,000-3,000-watt generator is usually sufficient.
