Our family has been using generators for tailgating, camping, and power outages for more than a decade. Over the years, I’ve become a bit of a generator-nerd and the go-to-generator-guy for my friends and family.
We launch this site, 10 Best Power Generators, to help fellow homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts access to the many alternate power-source options. We hope our product reviews and information blog will be helpful to you in your selection of the right power source for you.
Generator Knowledge and Information

Portable Generator by Watts
A 12,000-watt unit can be used as a jobsite power or a home backup generator in power outage.
Portable Generator by Fuel Type
Propane is a popular choice of clean fuel. Many models are RV-ready, parallel-ready and capable to run high-amperage tools and appliances.
They are popular power-source for tailgating, camping, jobsite and emergency power outage.
