There are a number of different generator types for keeping your house powered on in an emergency. Here's everything you need to know about inverter generators.

Inverter generators also produce lower emissions than conventional models, though you still need to take the same safety precautions by running them outdoors and well away from any dwelling.

Inverter generators are an elite breed of portable generators. And as a group, they outperform their conventional counterparts in almost every way. They provide better run times and efficiency, a ...

Regular generators provide a constant flow of power at a fixed speed, while inverter generators adjust the speed to match the demand, resulting in cleaner, more efficient power.

Conventional generators are usually 30% to 70% less expensive than a comparably sized inverter generator. Much of the cost difference is due to added complexity and additional components.

Reduced fuel consumption and lower noise emissions make these portable power generators well suited for urban environments.

All generators (inverter or conventional) put out 120 or 240 volts at 60 Hz, but the purity of inverter power is at least as free of damaging voltage spikes and distortion as what comes out of ...

Portable power stations can’t replace a gasoline-powered portable generator, but they can be safely used indoors. CR gives advice for when you might need one of these battery generators.
