What Is a Portable Electric Generator—and What Isn't?
A portable generator is one you can lift and load into a car on your own: it weighs less than 40 kilos, has one or two handles, and features a small gasoline engine with inverter technology, which provides clean power for electronics and runs at lower RPMs when you’re not using much power. It’s the ideal generator for camping, for your van, for your cabin, and for construction sites where you have to carry it up stairs.
There are two things that are called "portable" but aren't this. Generators with wheels for home use (4,500 to 7,000 W and about 90 kg) can be moved around the yard, but they aren't lifted: those are the Cube. And battery-powered energy stations—which Google calls “portable solar generators”—don’t have an engine: they’re something else entirely and have their own page. Here, we’re talking about engine-powered generators that are manually charged.

Where are you going to take it?
When choosing a laptop, there are three key factors to consider: its weight, its sound quality, and its battery life. Find the one that's right for you.
Refrigerator, light, and cell phone charging
The smallest model in the lineup is all you need: the Ibiza 1100, weighing 12.1 kg, with a USB port and a 12-volt output, manual start, and a runtime of 5 hours on 3 liters. You can carry it with one hand.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 W rated power and, above all, one that doesn't bother the neighbor next door. The Palma 1700 (52–58 dB, 19 kg) is the quietest; the Lanzarote RC 2000 includes a remote control with a 50-meter range so you can start it from inside.
See Palma → View Lanzarote RC →A step up in power without exceeding 22 kg
Menorca RC 2900: 2,600 W rated power for a small fan, 21.7 kg, and remote control. The limit of what you can still load onto the luggage rack without a second thought.
See Menorca RC →Angle grinder, drill, work light, and battery charger
Durability matters more here than quiet operation: an open-frame inverter, lighter per watt. Choose between the Rodas 3800 (34.5 kg) or the Feroe 4600 (39.5 kg), both with a 10-liter capacity for the day.
See Rodas → See Faroe Islands →Refrigerator, small pump, and light, with noise control
Madeira 4000: enclosed (57–71 dB), 35 kg, and wheels for moving it around the property; 7 hours of runtime on 7.8 liters. If you plan to use it throughout the entire house and it won’t be moved, check out the Cube.
See Madeira →Keep it stored away and take it out when needed
A Palma or a Menorca is enough to power a refrigerator, router, and lights during a power outage; if you want it to start up automatically when the power goes out, that’s no longer a laptop—it’s an automatic-start generator. And always outside the house, never in a closed garage.

Gas-powered laptop or battery-powered laptop: Which one is right for you?
That's the question on the mind of anyone searching for "portable generator" today: the search results include both engines and batteries. Genergy It manufactures both, so the comparison is fair.
| If you need… | Gas-powered laptop (this page) | Battery-powered power station |
|---|---|---|
| Use it indoors (store, van, home) | Never: emits gases | Yes, no smoke or noise |
| Silence of the Night | 52–74 dB depending on the model, always somewhat | Complete silence |
| Power and Tools | Up to 4,600 W and motor starts | Up to 3,600 W continuous power, depending on the model |
| Many hours in a row | You reply and keep going | As long as the battery lasts; then recharge it |
| Charging with Solar Panels | No | Yes, with built-in MPPT |
| Maintenance | Oil, spark plug, filter | None |
| Go to | — | Portable Solar Generator |
Many customers end up with both: the solar-powered station for nighttime use and the electronic one—the gasoline-powered laptop—for powering tools and recharging the solar-powered station when there's no sun.
