Portable Generators Power Up Anywhere, Anytime
Whether you’re working on a remote site, prepping for a power outage at home, or setting up for an outdoor event, portable generators give you freedom and reliability.
Why Choose An Inverter Or Portable Generator?
Before you pick a generator, getting clear on what you’ll be using it for makes all the difference. This is a quick
- What Do You Need To Power: Make a list of all the wattages of your appliances, tools and lighting that you will need to run at the same time. Its really important to note that some items will draw more power on start up before settling into their running power consumption.
We have created a quick guide to power requirements - View List Here
- Portability And Noise: Whether working on a building site or camping under the stars it pays to not annoy everyone with loud noise. Inverter models are far quieter than a conventional generator and as a rule much lighter, making them ideal for mobile applications, camping or light work.
- Fuel Type; You have more choices available now than ever before including 4-Stroke, LPG and Diesel options
- Power Type: Sensitive electronics demand clean sine wave power available from a inverter geni, while non electronic appliances and tools only require to be powered by a conventional geni.
- Budget vs Capacity: Going slightly above your load requirements gives you breathing room for future tools or appliances.
Choosing The Right Generator For You - A Quick Check List
- Camping / Small Tools / Electronics: A smaller inverter model in the 1 to 3 kW range for quiet and efficient operation.
- Backup Power Home /Office: Minimum would be 3.5 kW for basic operations, but refer back to your power requirements list and choose a model slightly above your total wattage needs.
- Trade / Heavy Duty Use: Look for 4.5 kW and above, electric start, a heavy frame and wheels for mobility.
- Sensitive Electronics: Always choose inverter style for clean, consistent power.
- Quiet Operation: Check dB ratings. The quieter units around 65 dB make a big difference in residential areas.
- Parallel Connectivity: Some generators can be run in parallel, eg if you take 2 x 2000W and run them in parallel you will have 4000W of power
