In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
There are a lot of things to think about when you’re looking for the best propane generator which is why we did the research needed to put together this propane generator buying guide. We researched some of the best-known brands and top-selling machines to help you figure out which one is the best for you. Before we get into our reviews, let’s take a quick look at some of the important features you should know about before you start shopping.
Watts: Watts measure power. So, the more watts your generator has, the more power it has. How many watts do you need? That truly depends on what you’re planning to power when the lights go out.
Dual Fuel: All of these generators can run on gasoline or propane, hence, “dual fuel.” It gives you a little bit of an option but one thing to keep in mind is you generally get more time out of propane.
Run Time: Run time varies from model to model and greatly depends on the kind of fuel you use. While putting together our reviews, we found generators that can run from 9 hour to 20 hours.
Size: These machines are all portable but if they’re too large, it could be hard to store them or get them where you need them to go. Especially if you’re planning to take them on a trip with your RV.
Weight: Some of these generators are very heavy at more than 200 pounds. For comparison, we did find one that only weighs about 50 pounds. Make sure you can lift your generator with a few helping hands - don’t try it alone.
Electric Start: This means that the machine will start at the push of a button. The only problem? What happens if the start battery runs out of juice? The best choice is a generator with both an electric and manual start.
Now that you know a little more about generators, let’s take a look at our list. Whether you’re looking for a 50 amp propane generator or you just want something portable, you’ll find a wide variety here. Start with our top and budget picks, they’re the first 2 items on the list.
