A quiet portable generator has many usages, even if you don't have a power cut. Apart from the obvious of using a power generator during a power failure, they can be used for camping, catering, external lighting, running power tools where there is no power source, any many more.

You want a generator that is not only up to the job of running an electrical appliance or device, but is super quiet. The Honda range of portable generators are super quiet and are one of the market leaders in the quiet technology. They are very lightweight, quiet and are superb at running your electrical goods such as diy power tools, lighting, camping gear and mini heaters or even a small lcd television.

It is important to choose a portable generator that can cope with the amount of power that your electrical device requires. A few examples of items you may wish to run off a generator are listed below for your convenience.

Weight is also an important factor when it comes to making a purchase. Models start as low as only 12kg in weight. That makes it easy to carry from the car to a camping site or perhaps to the back of your yard.

The super quiet portable generators are just that, super quiet. Staring at only 58dB of sound at 7 meters and also running at full load is genius. So lets put that into perspective for you. Your hearing threshold starts at about 10dB, a living room in the suburbs is around 50dB, a business office is at about 60dB. A normal conversation where two people are about a meter apart will make about 70dB. Now you get the idea of how quiet these generators are.

Of course, the more wattage you need the more noise they will make, the more fuel they will use and the bigger and heavier they will get.

The Largest in the Honda range is called the Honda EU20i. It is still only weighs about 20kg or 46lbs. It can generator a staggering 2000 Watts or 2KW. It can run for a full 15 hours on a single tank of gas and only generates 59dB. It can run a full size microwave oven, large power tools such as a circular saw and kitchen appliances such as a toaster, coffee maker and small fridge units.

There are many types of generators available to choose from. The most popular and best selling quiet portable generator are the petrol generators which come in a variety of sizes and power. The portability probably stops at about 12Kva. Diesel generators are more suitable for high end larger applications at an industrial level. The welder generators are portable and well suited for welders on site.
