Amazon Prime Day is approaching quickly, and prices are already starting to drop on some of the most coveted product categories, including tech , home , sporting goods and more.
If your home is prone to summer blackouts, or you just need a power source while tailgating or camping , this is your chance to prepare and save big. Amazon is offering price reductions on some of its most popular power generators ahead of Prime Day , ensuring you and your family have electricity when you need it most.
It is important to note that not all generators are available for sale in every state. California, for example, has strict emission requirements that may impact the availability of certain generators. (Fortunately, there are solar-powered generator options that meet these strict emission requirements.)
The experts at CBS Essentials found generator options perfect for every home, from smaller, portable power stations to larger generators that can run for hours.
Here are the best propane, gasoline and solar-powered generators and batteries in 2024 across a wide range of budgets.
Champion portable inverter power generator (2500W)
Amazon
This 2500-watt inverter generator is perfect for camping, tailgating, RVs or providing backup power for home essentials. Weighing less than 40 pounds, it's one of the lightest in its class and features Champion's innovative design for easy portability. With a reliable recoil start and cold start technology, it provides a simple, quick start in cold weather. The generator has two 120V 20A household outlets (12V automotive-style and a dual-port USB adapter) and operates quietly at 53 dBA.

This high-power portable generator from Westinghouse offers 7,500 running watts (the wattage while the generator is continuously running) and 9,500 peak watts (the maximum wattage that can be reached at start-up).

The Jackery portable power station is a compact and affordable option.
