About Which Backup

Which Backup compares portable generators two at a time. Each page is one generator matchup, based on manufacturer specs, and it says which is better for which job.

The site is written and run by Mike E. It has no accounts, no comments, no prices and no review scores.

Specs come from maker pages and manuals. Where a figure comes from an Amazon listing, or where sources disagree, the page says so. See how we check.

Some pages link to Amazon. The site earns from qualifying purchases made through those links. See the disclosure and the privacy page.

These pages compare specs. They are not health, safety or legal advice. Follow the maker's manual.

Carbon monoxide

Gas generators go outdoors only, well away from doors, windows and vents, with the exhaust pointed away from the house. A CO shutoff is a backup. It does not make a garage, a shed or a porch safe.
