Q: Are the prices on your site accurate?

Product Information
Q: How do you calculate "Price per Watt"?
A: Price per Watt is calculated by dividing the current Amazon price by the generator's maximum output wattage. This metric helps you compare the value of different generators regardless of their size. Lower price per watt generally indicates better value.
Q: What's the difference between battery and gas generators?
A: Battery generators (portable power stations) are quiet, emission-free, and can be used indoors, but have limited runtime and need recharging. Gas generators provide longer runtime and higher power output but produce emissions, are louder, and must be used outdoors.
Q: What does "Wh" mean in battery capacity?
A: "Wh" stands for Watt-hours, which indicates how much energy a battery can store. For example, a 1000Wh battery can theoretically power a 100W device for 10 hours or a 1000W device for 1 hour.
Q: Are refurbished or used generators worth buying?
A: Used generators can offer significant savings, but consider the risks: limited or no warranty, unknown maintenance history, and potential reliability issues. Always check the seller's return policy and Amazon's A-to-Z Guarantee coverage.
Website Features
Q: How do I use the filters on your website?
A: Use the left sidebar to filter generators by wattage range, battery capacity, fuel type, engine type, brand, and condition. The results update automatically as you change your selections. This helps narrow down options to generators that meet your specific needs.
Q: Can I sort the results by different criteria?
A: Currently, our table is sorted by price per watt (lowest to highest) to help you find the best value. We may add additional sorting options in future updates based on user feedback.
Q: Why don't some generators show battery capacity?
A: Traditional gas, diesel, and propane generators don't have batteries - they generate power directly from fuel combustion. Only electric generators (battery-powered portable power stations) and solar generators have battery capacity measurements.
Purchasing and Support
Q: What happens after I click a product link?
A: You'll be redirected to the specific product page on Amazon where you can read detailed descriptions, customer reviews, and make your purchase. Your transaction is entirely with Amazon, and you'll receive their customer service and support.
Q: What if I have issues with a generator I purchased?
A: Since purchases are made through Amazon, contact Amazon customer service for any order, shipping, or return issues. For product defects or warranty claims, contact the manufacturer directly. We cannot assist with individual purchase issues.
Q: Do you provide generator buying advice?
A: While we provide comparison data and general information, we recommend consulting with qualified electricians or generator specialists for specific installation and usage advice. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and local codes.
