6000 - 10000 Watt Portable Generators

3000 - 6000 Watt Portable Generators

3000-6000 Watt Portable Generators produce power comparable to using 2-4 standard 15-amp household outlets. Great for small to medium size RVs, small-medium jobs, contractors, or emergency power during an outage. Your intended purpose will govern your decision. Need power for your trailer or camper RV? Choose a 4000 Watt, 5000 Watt, or 6000 Watt portable inverter generator depending on the number of rooftop air conditioners on your RV. It takes less than 1000 watts to run a household refrigerator (plus starting watts), but remember that some appliances like a furnace are hardwired, and for that a 120/240 outlet connected to a transfer switch is the best option. Traditional portables are a good choice for contractors. All but the smallest in the this range will have 120/240 volts power and easily handle power tools and most equipment. These portable generators from 3000 watts to 6000 watts fit the low side of the middle range for portables. Add up the watts you need, then choose a model with 25% more power.
