Portable Generators
Power output: 3,000 to 8,500 watts
Price range: $400 to $1,500
Fuel needs: 12 to 20 gallons of gasoline per day
Pros: Portable generators are cheaper to buy and install than home standby models.
When connected to your home's circuit-breaker panel with a transfer switch, they
can power almost as much as a home standby generator. They have built-in outlets
for directly connecting suitable extension cords if you haven't installed a
transfer switch.
Cons: You'll need to wheel your generator out of storage, connect it to your
transfer switch, and fire it up each time you experience an outage. Portable
models also require you to store large quantities of gasoline, mixed with fuel
stabilizer, to get through a prolonged outage. They tend to be noisier and have
lower output than home standby models.

Home Standby Generators
Power output: 8,000 to 20,000 watts
Price range: $4,000 to $8,000
Fuel needs: 13 to 48 gallons of liquid propane or natural gas per day
Pros:
Home standby generators are largely worry-free. They're typically sized
to power an entire house in the event of an outage, and they come on automatically.
They can run for days or weeks without refueling, they tend to be very quiet, and
you don't need to fuss with weather covers.
Cons:
Home standby generators are pricier to buy, and installation costs can range from
a few thousand dollars to $10,000 or more.
