We could make a list of tropical hurricanes, regional blizzards and other inclement weather, but we’ll just cut to the chase — in the event of a natural disaster, you’re going to want a generator.

Though these trusty household appliances are a splurge — to say the least — they’re a practical investment worth having on hand.

Unlike your snow blowers and lawn mowers (which we also recommend owning, but we digress), a generator can help power your home year-round, which makes it provide even more value to your household.

From allowing your microwaves and washer-dryer combos to work to powering on your cell phones to communicate with loved ones, a generator will help keep you warm and aide in protection during a crisis.

To make your shopping easier a notch easier, we rounded up the best generators that are on sale from Amazon.

  • Dimensions: 27.2 x 26.1 x 26 inches

With nearly 14,000 rave reviews on Amazon, the Westinghouse Dual-Fuel Generator is a standout for many reasons, one of which being its plug-and-play design; it comes with a remote start key fob, 12V battery charger, oil and an oil funnel.

What’s more, it’s clad with a durable cast-iron sleeve with automatic shut-down. Its digital hour meter is a nice touch, too.
