6 Portable Generators You MUST Stop Buying (And 3 Worth Every Penny)

Six kinds of portable generator to stop buying and three worth the money, judged by one question: does the machine stop itself, or wait for you to stop it? It covers carbon monoxide shutoffs and why they are still voluntary, used machines sold with open recalls, a new generator left in its box until the storm, peak-watt and natural-gas ratings, and which inverter fits which job. The document at the center is the 2023 settlement between the federal safety commission and a generator maker over a handle that cost people fingers, and what its penalty works out to per machine. Nothing here is for sale and no link is attached.
