Small 1,400-watt budget generator
- Inexpensive
- Low-oil shutdown feature
- Relatively lightweight (57 pounds)
- Four-cycle engine doesn't require oil and gas mix
- One-year warranty
- Must use specific service centers for repairs
- Not as quiet as some
The 1,400-watt All Power America APG3014 surges to 2,000 watts. Its four-stroke engine runs for 9.5 hours per tank of gas (at half load), and it's relatively quiet at 68 decibels. This budget-priced portable generator has two 120-volt outlets and a 12-volt DC outlet and comes with battery charging cables -- handy for restarting a car battery. The engine automatically shuts off when the oil gets too low, a feature rarely found among generators in this price range. The APG3014 comes with a one-year warranty. Because you have to take it to an All Power America service center for repairs, it might be worth checking to make sure there's one near you before you buy.
If you can pay more and want a more powerful generator, the 3,250-watt Generac GP3250 (*Est. $420) gets good reviews, and it comes with a longer warranty.

The unnamed reviewer here says that this is the lowest-cost generator he has ever reviewed, but concludes that it's an exceptional value for the money. It should be noted that although the review says the product was tested, specific testing steps are not detailed, and every generator on this website is given positive remarks overall. Although the user reviews above seem more credible, this summary does a fair job of laying out the All Power America APG3104's key features.
