If your home is prone to summer blackouts, there's a big sale at Amazon that you won't want to miss. Amazon is offering 41% off a 4.5-star-rated dual-fuel power generator that can supply you and your family with electricity when you need it the most.

The generator runs on either gasoline or propane. When used with gasoline, you'll get 2500 starting watts and 1850 running watts with up to 11.5 hours of run time. When used with propane, you'll get 1665 running watts with up to 34 hours of runtime. It features two covered 120V 20A household outlets, a 12V automotive-style outlet and a dual port USB adapter.

At 39 pounds, it's a relatively lightweight option. And at 53 decibels (from 23 feet), it's a relatively quiet option, as well.

More of the best generators and batteries for your home in 2023

While shopping for generators and batteries for your home, it is important to note that not all generators are available for sale in every state. California, for example, has strict emission requirements that may impact the availability of certain generators. (Fortunately, there are solar-powered generator options that meet these strict emission requirements.)

We found generator options perfect for every home, from smaller, portable power stations to larger generators that can run for hours. Here are the best propane, gasoline and solar-powered generators and batteries in 2023 across a wide range of budgets.
