Best Portable Generators

This Honda portable generator is a fantastic combination of perfect ergonomics, amazing design, and high performance. The appliance weighs just 45.9 lbs! Therefore, this portable generator is excellent for trips to the countryside, picnics, and for powering your house during power outages. These appliances are considered to be highly noisy but this is surely not about Honda EU2000i as it has a noise insulation hood that helps reach a really low level of noise when the unit is running - just 59 dB. Thus, you can use this inverter generator during outdoor parties and events. You can easily carry the appliance by a large handle on top. Moreover, if the delivered power output is insufficient, this Honda portable generator has two parallel operation outlets allowing you to use two Honda EU2000i appliances simultaneously. We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that it's an inverter generator, which means you can connect sensitive electronics to it. Without going into deep technical details, an inverter generator produces a 'clean' current which is totally safe to high-tech microprocessors in consumer electronics. Also, this fantastic inverter generator automatically adapts to the load and reduces the fuel consumption of the engine. As a result, the unit can work up to 8 hours on a single tank. As you can see, this Honda portable generator is surely a worthy appliance for any house!

If you adore picnicking, having rest in tents or just traveling in a house on wheels, you certainly need a power source and a portable generator is exactly what you need. Generac iQ2000 is a portable, compact, and fairly lightweight inverter generator that will come in handy for any homeowner. This tool is so simple that anyone can quickly learn how to use it. Just look at the intellectual control panel! First of all, it has 3 operating modes: Turbo, Standard, and Economy. Needless to say, the maximum performance is delivered in Turbo mode, whereas the highest fuel efficiency and the lowest noise level are achieved in Economy mode. The control panel has the Run Time indication (telling you how much time is left till the tool needs to be refueled), the PowerBar (displays the wattage produced by the portable generator at the moment), and some other indicators (gasoline level, oil level, overheat, overload). If a single inverter generator is insufficient for powering your house, then there's some good news - this tool supports the parallel operation of two Generac iQ2000 portable generators. Thus, it's a truly functional tool!
