Best Inverter Generator

by Denise & Alan Fields (Yes, we run this site!) | Camping/RV'ing, Reviews, Z

Need a generator for a RV trip? Camping? Backup power during outages? Inverter generators are the answer—but shopping for one can be confusing.

Yes, inverter generators are better than old-style generators for two reasons. First, an inverter generator throttles up or down depending on demand . . . that makes them more efficient (and saves on fuel).

Second, they are quieter and produce lower emissions. Bonus: inverter generators are portable—most are designed to be moved around easily on wheels. To find the best inverter generator, we asked camping enthusiasts among our parent readers for their favorites. Then we did another 11 hours of researching, pouring over lab test results to find the most quiet, best performing inverter generators. Here are the winners.
