We are now in an Information Age where technologies are part of almost everything we do – in business, education, household and many aspects of the society. In this era, electricity plays a big role. Hence, power outage can just affect the home, the business or the entire community.
Without adequate preparation to power outage, there will be an adverse inconvenience. Your home will turn into something uninhabitable. There will be no lighting, water pump will fail, and food in the refrigerator will spoil too.
Power outage can be planned especially if there is maintenance or upgrade to happen. There are cases when this is not planned caused by bad weather, damaged poles and power lines due to accidents, equipment failure, spikes, or animal contact.
You can still live in comfort with preparation for power outage by investing in a power generator.
Here are the most recommended portable generators for 2019.
1. Westinghouse WGen5500 Portable Generator – 5500 Rated Watts & 6850 Peak Watts – Gas Powered – CARB Compliant – Transfer Switch Ready
This is very easy to assemble and use. This is known for its quite operation. This is also cheaper compared to other brands. This has shown great efficiency. Every gallon of fuel means 2-hour running time. This has automatic low oil shutdown protecting the engine from any damage and has an inbuilt overload protection. It does detect faulty transmission of electric current as this has 2 GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) which help prevent electrocution.
2. Westinghouse WGen7500 Portable Generator with Remote Electric Start
This functions like WGen5500. The only difference is that this is bigger, supplies a bigger amount of energy and this has a small grunt (softer sound). Additionally, this is covered with 3-year warranty and excellent nationwide customer service and support network. Good thing is that, this can function for ten hours for just one tank – fuel efficient it is. This is equipped with an electric start remote which will guide you in the start up process.
3. Honda 660530 5,000-Watt Portable Generator w/ iAVR Technology (CARB)
This actually functions the best as compared to the latter. What is good here is that sensitive devices are protected since this offers a steady voltage which is made possible by iAVR ((Intelligent Automatic Voltage Regulator) Technology. This has a large capacity of fuel tank too to support extended run time.
