What generator do I buy?
I’ve just started researching and I’ve already “had it”! I want a portable generator that will run a coffee maker, laptop, radio…generally small appliances. I want it to hold enough of a charge to make a pot of coffee (about 10 minutes). I don’t want an education on watts and dips and whatevers. Solar, batteries, and a hand crank would be nice. I just want to plug in the two prong plug (US) into the thing. What generator do I buy?
For a single appliance at a time a 2000 watt generator will be adequate. If you want to run multiple appliances or connect to your home’s electrical system I wouldn’t go anything less than 5000 watts.
Honda makes a very good portable generator, but be ready for price tag shock. There are many cheap (not inexpensive) Chinese built generators floating around. If you want an expensive paperweight they make a great deal. Coleman Powermate had a 1850 watt generator which you may be able to find used. I had one and other than being noisy it was a good machine. They sell used for about $200-$450.
Read through my home generator page.
