To officially kick off the start of Hurricane season, ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com announced their recommendations for top portable emergency generators.
"When a major storm knocks your power out, don't sweat it. With these emergency generators, you'll still be able to keep your appliances running and your lights on," said Jim Baugher, product expert at ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com.
According to Baugher, most retailers are loyal to whatever emergency generators are on their shelves.
ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com, however, isn't your ordinary retailer. The online superstore specializes exclusively in electric generators and carries more than 40 models of portable emergency generators from leading brands.
The online retailer combined retail prices, recent sales history, customer reviews and personal insight to generate their final recommendations.
