Home Generator NeededWhen it storms you know that you have a good chance of losing electric and that means you cannot have the electric that you need for the things you normally would be doing, but you do not want to get a loud generator. That is why we have decided it was time to go out and find all the different portable power generators that are on the market and then when we started to do our to narrow down our list we noticed that they definitely had some tremendous amount of racket. When we heard this we finally noticed that it was time for us to go out and find what we feel are 5 of the quiestest portable generators on the market for you to purchase and have inside of your home to guarantee that it will work like you need, to have power, but also to allow you to have a generator that is not going to make to much noise for your home.


1. Honda EU2200i 120-Volt Super Quiet Portable Generator

Honda EU2200i Portable Power GeneratorWhen you think about the name Honda you will often think about a Civic, Pilot, or even a CRV. However, what you need to realize is this is a great generator that is going to provide you quite a bit of power that you are going to love because it can work on getting some of the items powered around your home. What else is great about this product is the fact that this is a generator that is extremely quiet, so you need to make sure you have it properlyventilated or you could have some problems with the fumes in the generator creating an issue for you. In fact, the sound level is so low that you normally will have a conversation with someone that is going to be louder.

When you use this generator you will notice that it is going to allow you to have about 2,200 watts of power that is ready for you to use. What else is nice is this generator will allow you to have a longer run time than what you would find with some of the other generators on the market. This allows you to have a great generator that is going to keep the lights or appliances working for a long time.

2. A-iPower 7,000 Gasoline Generator With Electric Start

A-iPower 7,000 Gasoline Generator With Electric StartIf you are looking for a generator that will give you quite a bit of power at once, then you will like this generator with the electric start that makes it easier for you to start the generator quickly and easily. However, what you will find is this is a generator that you are going to enjoy for the power as well as it has a constant of 7,000 watts. The problem is this is a generator that is not going to be the most quiet on the market and you will know that it is going to run. However, we definitely left this generator on our list because it is definitely one that you are going to enjoy because it is gasoline powered and the start is so easy it is nice. When you look at this generator you will notice that it will run a little bit on the louder side compared to the Honda as it will run at a level of 76dBA. However, the run time is also another issue that you may have as this generator is not that fuel efficient as it runs at 50% power and will die off after about 9 hours, but at full power you can guarantee it is quite a bit slower.

3. Champion 4000-Watt Open Frame Generator

Champion Portable Home GeneratorWhen you look at this generator you may notice that it is going to be one that will allow you to have a lot of power right away. However, the start up power of the generator is going to only have 4,000 watts and the constant run will provide you with a total of 3,500 watts for constant use. What else is great about this generator is the fact that it is a very quiet model that will come in with a noise level that tips at 64dBA, which is not that loud and makes it easier for you to enjoy your power without having to shout to be heard. In fact, the company actually recommends you could use this as a generator that can be used for your RV if you need to have power for your RV. The weight of this generator has also been reduced as well because it has the open frame which has reduced the weight load of the generator by 20%. Now, this is before you have it filled up with gas and the downside is when you are using the generator and have it filled up with gasoline you will find the power never fails to come back on. This can make it harder to move back in for storage as the generator can run for almost 17 hours on the gasoline.

4. Predator Super Quiet 3500 Watt Generator

Predators 3500 Watt Portable GeneratorThis is a Harbor Freight branded generator and we have to say that we were plesantly surprised as it is often compared to the Honda that we have ranked in our top spot. The reason I have it listed so low down on my list is some of the past experiences I have had with the items that I get from Harbor Freight are not as durable as what I would like for them to be. This generator is one that will provide you more power than the Honda model up above, but you will notice if you read the fine print that this is a generator that will provide you with 11 hours of run time, but here is the fine print warning and that is only if you are using the generator at 25% power. Now, from my math that is only 700 watts to get the 11 hours of run time or twenty 35 watt light bulbs. This does have an electric start, but I will admit that the run time mark being given for only 25% would make me question how long it would run when it is at full power, because I do not know about you, but I do not want to be left out in the dark when the generator runs out of gasoline.

5. WEN 56200i Super Quiet 2000-Watt Generator

WEN 56200i Super Quiet GeneratorThis is a smaller generator when it comes to the amount of constant power as it will have a total of 1,600 watts of power. However, it is also a generator that will allow you to have the power that you need in a hurry. It does have 2,000 watts of surge power as well if you need it. The downside is the space heaters you can use may use, at least mine does, uses a total of 1,500 watts of power. The company does claim this is a generator that has the same noise output as a normal conversation between a couple of adults, which is a lot quieter than a couple of toddlers playing! On the downside this is a generator that only has 2 ports that are going to be for the 110 volt operation, but it does have the 12V DC operation and a 5V USB port. So this is the smaller of the generators that we have in our list here in the amount of power it generates.

Pick Your Home Generator

I have to say this is the challenge as you will notice that we have provided a wide range of generators that you can buy. However, for me I have to say that if I am looking for any generator I would look for the generator that is going to provide me the most power without being overly loud. What else I look at in the list is the brand of the generator. Overall, if you have the money you may like the Honda as it is a reputable brand and has a good warranty, but if you want to have a generator that has the most power and is a little bit on the louder side you may find the Champion to be a great option. No matter what, whichever of the portable power generators you pick you will be able to get the power you need to illuminate your home and potentially keep some small appliances in operation until your power is restored.
