Question 1

How do I choose the best portable generator?

Accepted Answer

Consider the wattage output, fuel type, noise level, and features like outlets and wheels. Also, consider how much space you have and whether you'll be using it indoors or outdoors.

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

How do I start a portable generator?

Accepted Answer

Many portable generators come with recoil starts, which require a manual pull to activate the engine. Others offer electric starts, allowing you to turn a key or push a button. For even more convenience, remote start models will enable you to start your generator from a distance.

Question 4

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.
