In this video I talk about the advantages smaller generators have over larger generators for longer wide spread power outages.
Smaller generators have several advantages and may be the best 1st generator for you to purchase.
I still recommend having a larger generator and also having an electrician install a proper back feed outlet so you don't have to run extension cords throughout your home.

Advantages include:
1. Lower fuel consumption- In many situations gasoline may not be available locally for you refill your gas supply so fuel consumption will be very important.

2. Lower noise level - You do not want to attract unwanted attention. From potential thieves to disgruntled and annoyed neighbors, you want to take your noise level into consideration, especially at night.

3. Easier to transport - In the event you have a family member, friend or neighbor in need of a generator, smaller generators will be an easier to transport to them.

4. Lower Cost- While there are many small generators that are very expensive it's usually due to them being inverter style and very quiet. When comparing apples to apples (for example Inverter style vs inverter style) Lower watt generators are typically less expensive than their high watt models.

Thanks for watching!
