A generator is the perfect choice if you need a portable source of power, or if you must ensure that power remains available even should something happen to the main power lines. Generator sizes vary widely, from tiny models that can be carried by hand to units that must be delivered with a 45-foot-long trailer and can power an entire town. Generators are useful in many different circumstances because they are so versatile.
