Going small is big in today’s world. Everyday we hear news of more and more household appliances and gadgets going smaller and pocket-size. Who would have thought 20 years ago that you will be able to able to put a microcomputer inside your pocket and even use it to call someone or watch TV or listen to music? Today’s gadgets are becoming more and more integrated and, most importantly, handier and more portable.

In addition, even machinery that used to be categorized as huge and hefty can now be labeled as bring-anywhere tools. One such example is the electrical power generator. Will you believe that the same power generator that can power your house can also be used to supply your electrical needs while on location, say, in the jungle for your nature camping trip or a hamburger grilling picnic at the park?

These generators have transformed into such small and portable things that you can literally carry it with you wherever you may want to go. Good news is that they have also become so efficient and well-built that you can use them for a lot of uses such as emergency and recreational uses.

Indeed, these power generators are no longer relegated to serving as backup power during blackouts or during other emergency cases. They are now regarded as versatile and multipurpose contraptions that can be used for other things besides emergency backups.

Other recreational activities that you can use portable generators are: fishing trips, picnics and cookouts, concerts, outdoor parties, camping trips, cross-country trips in your motor homes, trade shows, and other outdoor activities that need electrical power.

Of course, the above enumerated do not entail the same amount of power and knowing how much power you need is part of the decision on which portable generator to buy. Not all portable generators are made to be equal.

For simple use that involve powering computers, lights, televisions and small appliances, a small 1000 watts generator may be sufficient but if you are looking to provide power for air conditioners, freezers, heaters, you may need to get those in the range of 3,500 watts and above.

If you are looking for power generators that will be used as emergency backup only for blackouts or unannounced power cuts, you will probably need those in the 3000 watts range and above, especially if you are planning to provide emergency power to your entire house.

If you consider size a bigger factor in your buying decision compared to your power needs, then you will need to carefully consider your needs because the more power you need, the bigger and less portable the generator becomes. But more often than not, something in the range of 2000-3000 watts would be adequate for most portable usage and about 3500 to 5500 watts would be sufficient to power majority of an entire household during emergency situations.

If you are looking to equip your house with emergency backup powers, it might help to check out one of the writer’s piece on how to choose the best residential generator systems.
