In the modern world, it’s hard to go any length of time without relying on electricity in some way. Whether you’re playing a video game, working remotely, working with power tools, or any other pastime or job, you need power to do it—so what happens when a blackout hits at a crucial time? We here at Outdoor Motor Sports & Trailer Sales want to make sure your work, play, and life go on uninterrupted, so we’ve put together a few more reasons why you want to buy a generator, below.

Emergency Power

Out of any situation, the worst time to go without power is in an emergency situation. Whether it’s a famous New York blizzard, fallout from a hurricane, or sweltering summer heat, there are many situations that can leave you without power when you need it most. With a generator, you have a reliable method of charging mobile or medical devices, staying connected, and keeping yourself comfortable until the municipal system is back on its feet. The right generator can even keep the refrigerator cool so you don’t lose what food you’ve got!

They’re Easy to Operate

You’d think that any machine that can keep you safe in severe weather and blackouts would be complicated, but that’s not the case with the average generator. Every model will come with a detailed series of instructions on fueling and operation, but they’re also designed to be easy to understand on your own. Most generators nowadays need only fuel and a button-push to get started, ensuring you’ve got the power you need without stressing you out more than is necessary.

Easy Transportation

It’s one thing to keep a generator around your home in case of a blackout, but if your job is a mobile one, it can be handy to have a portable power supply alongside you. With a generator, you can do exactly that. Whether you work landscaping, construction, or any other transport-heavy occupation, generators are designed to be easy to bring along on the job. Most have wheels on one side so you can tip and roll them fairly simply, and they’re small enough to find a place in a trailer and to store in a shed or barn. 

Multipurpose

It’s important to note that even if your work doesn’t require them, and even if you aren’t worried about blackouts, a generator can help with just about any job or pastime. Bring one along when you’re camping to power your mobile devices and phones so you stay connected, or use it to power lawn equipment and small heavy machinery. Don’t rely on a battery!
