Do You Need A 2,000 Or A 10,000 Watt Portable Generator?

Different people have different needs. We all live our lives in our own individual ways which means that what is right for one person might be absolutely wrong for the next. This is true in all aspects of our lives, and it is also true when considering what type of portable generator will meet your needs.


When purchasing a generator, whether for use at home as a back-up source of electricity in times of power outages or for use on the go, as in an RV or a boat, it is not a good idea to simply seek out the most powerful example. Buying a generator that produces more power than is necessary can be both wasteful in terms of resources and money and also dangerous in terms of a fire hazard.

For someone who is looking for a small generator to power only a few small appliances in their camper, a --- watt portable generator should be sufficient. For industrial use the wattage needs may go up to ----.

There are a few factors to keep in mind when determining what level of power output you need from your generator. First you need to calculate how many watts you may need at a given time by adding together the watts required for every appliance that you will have running at the same time. For example if you know you will need to be able to power your microwave and your electric kettle at the same time, you will need to add up the wattage that those two appliances use. Another consideration is that some appliances require an initial surge of power to get them started. This needs to be factored into your wattage requirements in order to avoid problems.

In order to determine the wattage requirements of a given appliance you can look at the user's manual or ask a professional at the place of purchase. Alternately, there are charts that you can find online that list average watt usage for common appliances. Although they may not perfectly match your own, you can start to get an idea of about how many watts you will be using.

Another help in figuring out which is the best generator for you is to consult a dealer. Those who sale generators should be educated on the subject enough to know what questions to ask you and to determine, based on your answers, what level of wattage you will need. They can show you models available at that wattage and explain the advantages of each.

After a bit of research on the subject, including asking advice of people with experience, you can determine what is the appropriate wattage for your portable generator and will have all the power that you need, and no more, which will provide you with the safest and most efficient conditions for operating your generator.
