Inverter generators: all 51 compared (2026)

An inverter generator converts its power electronically and lets the engine slow down with the load, so it runs quieter and states cleaner output for electronics. Here are all of them we review, gas, dual fuel and tri-fuel, from the 2,000-watt camping box to big home-backup units, best-rated first.

Short on time? Our best inverter generators ranking names the top five, best quiet generators keeps only the models that state 60 dB(A) or less, and best dual fuel inverter generators adds propane. Watts and fuels are what each listing states; nothing is filled in when the seller stays quiet.
