Wattage Calculator

Portable generators information offer most everything you would need for home backup, RV & camping use, or commercial jobsite use, in a smaller and more cost-effective package.

But before you start comparing models or shopping prices, we highly recommend to first identify your power needs. This helps you select the portable generator that is right for you. You can then shop different models to find one that fits your budget.

To do so, start by looking around your home and figure out which appliances or gadgets you really must have when the power goes out. Write everything that uses power in your home down, and put them into 2 groups:

1. Must-have items (like your fridge and lights)
2. Would-like-to-have items (like a dishwasher)

Once you’ve done this, visit our power calculation page to total up total power needed

You can then make your own judgment call as to which appliances you really want to pay the price for to power up in case of an outage.
