Suitcase Generators Provide Camping In Style
Have you ever heard of a suitecase generator? It is a power generator that many use in case of emergency or for travel away from home. They can produce AC current to support some of the major appliances of a house or camping luxuries. They are not designed to take over all the power needed so they are rather limited. They are called “suitcase” generators because they are relatively small and easy to carry around and some also have handles just like a suitcase or other luggage.
It surely happened to you, a hurricane came that knocked down all the power around your house. Be smart and get yourself this kind of power generator. You will be the only one that has light in a stormy night. There could be hours before the power comes back on and you need to cook and eat, right? It is good to have a suitcase generator when you need it. Most houses are not built with a personal generator.
Many suitcase generators are typically between 1000 and 4000 watts. One of the things that is great about them is that they are very quiet compared to most generators that make a lot of noise while they are running.
When deciding to buy this kind of generator you should decide on some essential things: if you want a fixed or variable wattage capacity, the type of fuel used and, of course, the price range your are willing to spend. Most of the suitcase generators use fuel such as gasoline, diesel, propane and even natural gas and the type of engine dictates this choice. Gasoline is used by most of the generators, but it’s flammable and could be quite expensive. Diesel is less expensive and not that flammable, but the generators that use this kind of fuel tend to be noisier. Propane and natural gas are modern fuels that are also friendly for the environment. The biggest disadvantage is that they can’t supply that much power; that is 30% less than the other types. If you are using a suitcase generator while camping, propane is a great choice because it is easy to bring your own propane supply.
Prices usually depend on the amount of power the generators can supply. If you have many appliances that may need more power, expect to pay more for a high capacity generator. You should know that refrigerators and air conditioners require a lot of power when starting (twice or three times the power of other typical kitchen appliances).
If you are a camping fan, the suitcase generator will be your best friend. You can watch TV, listen to the radio, play on you laptop or recharge your phone with no problem. Generally, a suitcase generator weights between 25 and 30kg. It is easy enough that most adults can carry it around. These generators can support many appliances when you need emergency power at home or if you are camping.
