5 Best Generators for Your Home — Selected by NIK Expert
A curated selection of generators from NIK specialists — designed to keep your lights on, your fridge running, and essential appliances working during power outages.
A generator is an investment in comfort and peace of mind. Portable models are easy to set up and come in a range of power outputs and price points. Whole-house standby generators, on the other hand, act like a personal power plant — automatically kicking in when the power goes out.
Before you buy, consider:
- Which appliances do you want to power (lights, fridge, AC, heating)?
- What is the total power consumption of your devices?
- How long will you need backup power (and how much fuel does the generator consume)?
- What fuel type do you prefer (gasoline, propane, natural gas, or diesel)?
