For many reasons, the portability of a generator set is almost as important as the main purpose of owning one — supplying power. This is because many generators with high supply capacity (particularly diesel generators) usually take up a great deal of real estate in households and commercial settings where they are used.
According to MyGenerator, portable generators, as a result of their ‘portable’ nature, are the perfect power solutions for homes and gardens, recreational (like camping), business, domestic, and industrial purposes. However, it has been identified that homeowners constitute a largest segment of the portable generator market.

Generally, portable generators provide the appropriate quantity of energy required of them while taking little next to no space in your home, office, industrial site etc. They are also fuel efficient, use both petrol and diesel, relatively silent and effective in their operations.
