Pick Your Price Range

Think about how much you want to spend, which will instantly eliminate all the models beyond that price point. It's a quick and simple way to make the shopping process more manageable.

As you set your budget, think about the intended lifespan of the generator. If this purchase needs to last for many years, be sure to invest in a durable model.

The goal is to get the highest quality model that you can afford and that also suits your needs. Maybe you can afford the most expensive generator but if you will only be using the generator occasionally, it makes sense to save money and invest more in equipment that you will use more often. Make sure your generator budget matches the generator usage.

Figure Out The Ideal Size

Generators come in a range of sizes. It's important to get the size that suits the place it will be used. You don't want to purchase a massive model if it needs to fit inside a tiny shed, for example. Match the generator's size to its intended location.

Figure Out The Ideal Wattage

Next, consider the amount of power the generator needs to offer. This step will require a bit of math.

Decide all the things you want to plug into the generator. Write down the watts that each device needs. Add them all up and then add a bit of wiggle room. This end result will give you the bare minimum wattage amount needed from the generator.

Choose A Fuel Type

Generators tend to run off of diesel, gasoline, or solar power. Propane and gasoline offer budget-friendly prices and easy access. Solar is the most environmentally-friendly option. Some models can even run off of two fuel types. That way, you can still power the model if you run out of one fuel type.
