Six quiet and efficient inverter generators for your home

Best Overall Inverter Generator

Westinghouse 4,500-Watt Inverter Generator

Our best overall pick is the Westinghouse 4,500-watt inverter generator. It’s able to run up to 18 hours on a 3.4-gallon tank with dual fuel technology. With its low oil shutdown, fuel is conserved for efficient usage, so you’re always able to get the most out of your generator. The electric start button makes it overly easy to crank up the power and turn it off, which reaches up to 260 feet away. If the electric remote ever were to have issues, there is a recoil option to start the generator.

“I was looking for a generator to run my travel trailer and came across this generator. I’m so glad I chose this one! It’s very quiet (for a generator!) and is so easy to start. It is a little over 100 pounds, but my husband and I can easily pick it up to carry it and lift into our truck bed,” shares Sharon L. Hauht, a verified purchaser.
