6 Heavy Duty Gas-Powered Generators For Power Outages
Power outages are a bad thing. At best, they are inconveniences; at worst, they can be dangerous, especially among vulnerable populations. That is because electricity is necessary to power refrigerators, especially if these contain food that can easily spoil over time, as well as lights, medical devices and even electronic devices if you are working from home.
If you are living in an area where blackouts are frequent (moreso if that area is prone to storms), then you will need a heavy-duty gas-powered generator ready. This helps keep at least part of your house running for many hours, in addition to (in some cases) being lightweight enough to be kept in storage when not needed. All this ensures that you and your loved ones do not stay in the dark until power is back up again.
Here are six heavy-duty gas-powered generators that you will need in the event of power outages:
Westinghouse's WGen9500 is powered by a robust 457cc OHC 4-Stroke engine that runs for up to 12 hours on a 6.6-gallon fuel tank. Its twist-lock outlet allows you to tie it into your home via a transfer switch, so you can power all necessary appliances when you need them the most. This generator comes with a free start key fob that lets you turn it on from a distance.
Feel the power your home needs with WEN's 2000-Watt Portable Power Generator. It is powered by a 79.7cc 4-stroke OV engine which operates at an extremely quiet 53 decibels at quarter load, comparable to the sound of a normal conversation, providing non-invasive power whenever needed, and features a versatile control panel that has a 5-volt USB port, a grounding nut, a 12-volt DC receptacle and an on/off/choke switch.
Packed with 10,000 starting watts and 8,000 running watts, the Duromax XP10000E can handle heavy loads from lights and a fridge to a home air conditioner and high amperage power tools. It utilizes DuroMax MX2 technology to get maximum power from each of the 120-volt receptacles, allowing you to choose either operating the generator at both 120V and 240V at the same time or just 120V only with full power.
Rainier's R2200i Digital Inverter Generator is a great choice for charging sensitive electronics or household appliances. This lightweight, quiet and fuel-efficient generator can be paired together with another inverter generator for combined force, essentially doubling your power supply, and has a dedicated "Eco Mode" that automatically lowers standby idle speed to match the load's current demand, maximizing fuel efficiency of the gas and saving the engine from wear-and-tear.
The Westinghouse iGen2200 delivers much-needed power whenever you need it -- without causing unwanted noise. This super quiet generator is up to three times more fuel-efficient compared to traditional generators, operating at up to 12 hours with just 1.2 gallons of fuel. Lightweight and compact at just 46 pounds, it has a suitcase-style handle for hassle-free transportation and easy storage.
The DuroMax XP4400E brings portable power to your home whenever you need it. Powered by a 208cc engine, it has 4,400 starting watts and 3,500 running watts, enough to handle heavy loads from power-intensive appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners, and also comes with a spark plug wrench, oil funnel, toolset and DC cables, in addition to a manual on how to operate the generator.
