Portable Generators

Whether you're on the go full time or just for the weekend, you need reliable power. At Outbound Power, we live the life, so we understand your need for the best portable generators for sale without breaking the bank.

Portable generators are ideal in situations where there is no access to a traditional power source. They are designed to be easily transportable and are typically powered by gasoline or propane.

They work by using an internal combustion engine to drive an alternator, which generates electricity. The engine is started using a pull cord or electric starter, and the generator typically includes a fuel tank or propane tank to provide the fuel source.

Portable generators come in a range of sizes and power outputs, with smaller models providing enough power for camping or outdoor activities, while larger models can power an entire home during a power outage. Portable generators are used for a variety of purposes, including emergency backup power, outdoor events, camping trips, and at construction sites.

There are many different types of portable generators available on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

What are the most common types of portable generators?

Conventional Generators

Conventional generators are the most common type of portable generator. They are typically powered by gasoline or propane and produce alternating current (AC) electricity. Conventional generators are relatively inexpensive and easy to find, but they can be noisy and produce fumes.

Inverter Generators

Inverter generators are a newer type of portable generator that produces clean, quiet AC electricity. Inverter generators are more expensive than conventional generators, but they are more efficient and can be used to power sensitive electronics.

Dual-Fuel Generators

Dual-fuel generators can run on either gasoline or propane. Dual-fuel generators offer the convenience of being able to use either fuel type, but they are typically more expensive than single-fuel generators.

Tri-fuel Generators

Tri-fuel generators are a type of portable generator that can run on three different types of fuel: gasoline, propane, and natural gas. This makes them a versatile option for people who need a generator that can be used in a variety of situations.

When choosing a portable generator, it is important to consider the following factors:

• The amount of power you need: The size of the generator you need will depend on the amount of power you need to generate. To determine the amount of power you need, add up the wattage of all the appliances and devices you plan to power.
• The type of fuel you want to use: Generators can run on gasoline, propane, diesel, or natural gas. Choose the fuel type that is most convenient for you and that is available in your area.
• The noise level: Generators can be noisy, so it is important to choose a generator that is quiet enough for your needs.
• The portability: If you plan to move the generator around, you will need to choose a portable model.
• The price: Portable generators range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Choose a generator that fits your budget.

Once you have considered these factors, you will be able to choose the right portable generator for your needs.
