How to choose a household generator?  

In recent years, power outages have been increasing in many countries or regions, and as individual users, the demand for household generators continues to rise.

More people are using generators to provide backup power to cope with natural disasters and emergency situations. So, which type of generator is more suitable for household use?

The following is a selection plan for household generators that I have compiled based on personal use.

                                                                           ▲ TV interviews with generator manufacturers on power solutions

 1. There are multiple fuel types for household generators 

1.1 Gasoline

Gasoline fuel is relatively easy to obtain, but its price may fluctuate. Fortunately, the basic price of gasoline generator is also relatively cheap, making them relatively lightweight to use.

The only drawback is that gasoline generator generate a large amount of carbon emissions during operation, causing air pollution. If you think gasoline generators are a more suitable choice,

be sure to reserve some gasoline fuel in a safe area around your home building, so that it is more convenient and efficient to use in emergency situations.

1.2 Diesel fuel

Diesel generator are more efficient than gasoline generators and are suitable for use in various environments. They have stable performance and are very suitable for household use.

However, diesel generators are more expensive than gasoline generators, and they are heavy and not very portable. Fortunately, there are types with wheels to choose from,

Although the purchase cost is higher than gasoline generators, they have a long service life and low maintenance costs.

 2. Three types of household generators suitable for household use 

2.1 Portable gasoline generator

Portable gasoline generators are equipped with wheels and handles, and their size is generally not very large. They can be placed in the trunk of a car and used in any work or camping place.

Portable gasoline generators have a power range of 0.65kW to 12kW and can provide power for your electronic devices or electric tools.

                                                                                                                                 ▲ Portable gasoline generator

2.2 Air cooled diesel generator

The size of air-cooled diesel generators is generally larger than that of portable gasoline generators, and they are much heavier, but their relative performance is more stable more suitable for fixed use in safe areas of households.

There are open and silent types to choose from. Silent air-cooled diesel generators are a good choice, with power ranging from 2kW to 12kW. Stable performance can meet the needs of household building lighting, air conditioning,

water heaters, kitchen equipment, and emergency backup power supply.

2.3 Variable frequency gasoline generator

The variable frequency gasoline generator is similar to a portable gasoline generator, but it can generate different types of currents that are stable enough to charge electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops.

The power range is optional from 2kW to 8kW.
