“APRIL SHOWERS bring May flowers,” the old saying goes. But that often means enduring a lot of rain, thunderstorms, and sometimes even tornadoes and floods, potentially causing some power outages along the way. If you have yet to invest in a generator, it’s worth considering that purchase, particularly as we enter the volatile spring season. Luckily, this Champion portable inverter generator is 44 percent off right now.
For under $500, this best-selling generator is an affordable choice to help power you and your family through a nasty storm (or multiple nasty storms). It boasts 2,000 watts of power, can utilize either propane or gas, runs quietly, and is relatively lightweight (for a generator, that is). Depending on which fuel you choose, this Champion portable generator can run for anywhere from just under 12 hours to 34 hours.
One reviewer said they used this generator after losing power and mentioned they were able to run at least seven different devices with it, including a refrigerator, freezer, and four lamps. Plus, they said they were able to charge their phones and other devices with it, too.

With this Champion generator, you’ll also get engine oil (along with a funnel), a propane hose, and a dual USB adapter. Additionally, you can get a parallel kit to connect two of these generators together to give you even more power.
However, if you don’t want to buy two generators but definitely want more power, there’s a 4,500-watt version also on sale for under $1,000. This one is also a dual-fuel generator and it has an electric start option. But if you want one that has a remote start, there is a 4,500-watt, gas-fueled Champion generator that is marked down for under $900 right now.
With a typically stormy season ahead of us and the possibility of serious power outages, a portable generator is a great appliance to have around, just in case. Not only can it power some of your vital devices and appliances, but just having it can also bring you peace of mind for the days ahead.
