About GeneratorDatabase

GeneratorDatabase is a free, searchable specification database for portable, inverter, standby, and solar generators. We catalog models from the brands that dominate the US market — Honda, Generac, Champion, Westinghouse, EcoFlow, Jackery, and more — with full specs: starting and running watts, engine size, fuel type, runtime, noise levels, THD, outlets, weight, and dimensions.

Our goal: when you're comparing generators, you should be able to see the real specifications side by side — not dig through a dozen manufacturer websites.

What we cover

Inverter generators — clean power for electronics, quiet operation, parallel capable
Portable generators — high wattage for home backup and job sites
Standby generators — automatic whole-home backup on natural gas or propane
Solar generators / power stations — battery-based, emission-free, solar rechargeable

Why we built this

Generator specs are scattered across manufacturer sites, retail listings, and forums — and they're often incomplete or inconsistent. One brand lists noise at 25% load, another at 50%. One lists running watts, another only surge watts. We normalize everything into a consistent format so you can compare apples to apples.

How the data is curated

Every model is reviewed against manufacturer specifications and retail listings. Prices shown are typical street ranges, not quotes. Where a spec is unavailable, we leave it blank rather than guessing.

Our relationship with CookBid

GeneratorDatabase is part of the CookBid family of equipment sites. We also operate CookBidSpecs (commercial kitchen equipment) and CookBid (restaurant equipment auctions).
