Humans like to shrink things. We have been doing this for a long time. From cellular phones to computers to floppy disks to digital cameras, manufacturers just keep coming up with their mini versions all the time. One of the characteristics people look for in these gadgets is portability.
Moreover, even machinery that used to be in the domain of the big and bulky category can now be labeled as bring-anywhere tools. Case in point is the electrical power generator. Will you believe that the same power generator that can power your house can also be used to provide your electrical needs while on location, say, in the jungle for your wilderness trip or a hamburger grilling picnic at the park?
These portable generators have become so small that they can be as portable as your everyday cooler box or your portable radio. Furthermore, the smaller size does not mean inferior power output because small portable generators of today can do a lot and can provide power for hours.
Indeed, these power generators are no longer relegated to serving as backup power during blackouts or during other emergency cases. They are now considered as handy machines that can be used for emergencies and for fun stuff as well.
Other recreational activities that you can use portable generators are: camping trips, outdoor parties, concerts, fishing trips, picnics and cookouts, cross-country trips in your motor homes, trade shows and other outdoor activities that require electric current.
Definitely, each of the listed generator uses above are not equal in terms of power requirement as some of them need more power while others need less. Evaluating how much you need in terms of wattage and power is an vital aspect of the your portable generator purchasing decision
For small appliances like PCs, radios, blenders, etc., small generators capable of 1,000 watts of electric juice might be sufficient but if you are setting up to operate heavier stuff like freezers and furnaces, you might want to think about getting something in between 3,500-6,500 watts.
If you are looking for power generators that will be used as emergency backup only for blackouts or unannounced power cuts, you will probably need those in the 3000 watts range and above, especially if you are planning to provide emergency power to your entire house.
If you consider size a bigger factor in your buying decision compared to your power needs, then you will need to carefully consider your needs because the more power you need, the bigger and less portable the generator becomes. But more often than not, a model in the range of 1000 to 3500 watts would be adequate for most portable usage and about 3500 to 5500 watts would be sufficient to power majority of an entire home during emergency scenarios. - 29939
