Today, we can’t imagine our lives without electronic devices. Can you remember the last time you’ve spent a whole day without your computer, smartphone, TV, coffee maker or a microwave? You can’t, right? Because our modern lifestyles has made us addicted to these devices, we feel a strong need to carry them wherever we go.
When you go camping for example, do you bring your high-tech gadgets with you? If you’re nodding, you probably know you need a power source to rely on. And the first thing on your ‘camping must-haves’ list is most likely a generator. If you are a passionate camper, you must certainly own one. But if you’re going camping for the first time, you must be wondering: “With so many types of generators available, how do I know which one is suitable for the sensitive devices such as my smartphone and laptop”?
The most favorable type of generators for camping are inverter generators. Inverter generators, compared to conventional models, offer better performance, thus are a more stable source of power. Also, inverter generators are more Eco-friendly and make less noise. But these generators are not suitable for camping only. They can be used for various industry applications as well. Of course these models are more powerful which is why you need to know what will you use the generator for. There are several features you should consider when buying an inverter generator.
Capacity
The capacity of the inverter generators is one of the main features. If you need to power more devices with larger wattage simultaneously, get inverter generators with higher capacity. These are perfect for any construction-related tasks. The medium-sized inverter generators are most commonly used for residential applications, although many construction companies use them as well.
Size and portability
Inverter generators are available in many different sizes, from compact to very large. The type of generator that you’ll choose must correspond with the intended use and location. If you need a generator to power a circular saws and other tools, buy a large-sized generator. Also, to ensure smooth job operations, consider portable inverter generators. They are lightweight and compact and can easily be moved from one location to another.
Accessories
Inverter generators usually come with accessories, without which, in some situations, these devices are simply of no use. Such accessories are the fuel stabilizer and siphon, cover for the generator as well as the proper power plugs and cords. Also, make sure you always have enough fuel supply (if the generator runs on fuel).
The truth is, all types of generators are developed for one purpose only – to provide backup power. They only differ in their features, which are key factors that determine which type or model is best for you.
