It takes just one semi-strong wind or storm to leave your home without lights, wifi, air conditioning... and, more generally, electricity. Those in suburban and rural areas know that inconvenience all too well—unless, that is, they've prepared in advance by purchasing a home generator. If you don’t have one ready to go, now’s your chance, because one of our favorites is majorly discounted right now.
Champion’s 5500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator with Wheel Kit is currently on sale at Amazon for 27 percent off. This emergency power backup source was designed to run on gasoline or propane, so it gives you more options when faced with a lights-out event than your average single-fuel model. (That's particularly handy when gas shortages pop up following a regional storm.) Our test team found that it was very simple to switch between the two. While the generator started equally well on either fuel, it's worth noting that the running and starting watts will be slightly reduced if you're using propane.
As detailed by our test team, the Champion generator can run all of these appliances simultaneously (but keep in mind this is just a sample list): A refrigerator, a microwave, a Keurig machine, a 10,000-BTU air conditioner, four CFL lights, an LCD TV, a laptop, and a space heater. And who wouldn't want all of those essentials working when the town’s grid is down?
The generator features a digital gauge that displays the voltage, current frequency being generated, and total hours of use. However, it doesn’t have a fuel gauge. Still, it makes a solid option for your home, as well as larger RVs and campers, and is great for use on job sites.
You can shop the Champion generator, which includes the 27 percent off deal, on Amazon. It typically sells for $1,166, but the sale will get it to your door for $849. Your purchase also includes a 3-year limited warranty with free lifetime technical support from experts.
