Best Portable Generator 2021 – Buyer’s Guide

The ALLPOWERS portable generator is hard to match when it comes to convenience. It’s one of the smallest generators in the market, which makes storage less of a hassle. We have the lithium-ion battery to thank for that since it allows for more compact setups than lead-acid power packs.

You can charge the ALLPOWERS by solar energy, through the wall outlet, or with a car battery. As for its charging ports, it features two DC outputs, three USB ports, a USB Type-C, and a cigarette lighter socket. Additionally, there’s a wireless charging station that works for all Qi devices. All in all, you can charge up to seven devices simultaneously.

The ALLPOWERS can be controlled remotely with the Aipower Application via bluetooth. You can use the app to check the battery level and control the power going out of the generator. That being said, Aipower supports devices with Android 4.3, iOS 9.0, or higher.

If you want high efficiency, the Böhmer-AG is your go-to option. This generator can deliver up to 7500 W power, courtesy of its 13 HP, 400cc air-cooled engine. On top of that, the copper-wound motor is way more durable than the conventional aluminium motors,

The Böhmer-AG features an overload protection system that deserves every cent you’ll pay. It’ll save the day on power overloads by instantly cutting the power off the output. Along with this system, there’s a low oil detection system that shuts the engine off when the oil drops too low to avoid overheating.

You can connect several appliances to the generator concurrently. It comes bearing two 240 V AC plug sockets and a 12 V DC output. To top off all these perks, the controls are user-friendly and easy to use.

The W4500i is the best quiet petrol generator on the market in our opinion. It only creates 59db of noise while running, which makes it much more convenient than other generators.

As always, Böhmer didn’t hold back on the safety features. The W4500i has the same internal protection systems as the AG-6500 and the Böhmer-AG Electric Key. Not only that, but it also features a copper-wound motor with a recoil start mechanism.

The AG-6500 is an eco-friendly power generator. It comes fully equipped with a fuel-efficient motor that emits minimal harmful gasses. This also means you’ll save a hefty amount of money on fuel.

The Dealourus portable generator features a recoil start mechanism that ensures instant powering up. On top of that, the copper-wound motor is long-lasting and durable, delivering a stable current throughout the generator’s running time.

As with most portable generators, the Dealourus features two 240 V AC, along with a single 12 V DC output port. It also comes fully equipped with an 8 HP Single-Cylinder engine. The unit is fairly easy to assemble, and there’s a user manual included to aid. However, the lack of bottom wheels might be a challenge for some people. It’s not as easy to manoeuvre as other models.

The unit runs almost silently, generating nearly 69 dB in the process. Furthermore, the fuel tank has a capacity of 15 litres, which is pretty decent for emergencies and home use. Moreover, there’s an internal safety system that protects against overloading, overheating, and short circuits.

This generator is considered lightweight for its variety of features and the power it delivers. However, 20 pounds may still seem heavy for some people. It doesn’t make the unit any less portable, though. The convenient design and the handle allow you to carry it anywhere.

The fuel tank can keep the generator running up to 5 hours. It works in an economical mode that doesn’t waste fuel. Besides, the engine automatically adjusts according to the power demand. You don’t have to worry about overload either; there’s a built-in detection system that shuts the engine off in emergencies.
