Due to frequent power outages and natural disasters such as hurricanes, countries are increasingly experiencing power outages. To avoid living in the dark in such emergency situations, you should invest in a proper electrical center for your home. Apart from that, power plants today are portable and come in handy when you are camping or traveling to remote areas, which are off the grid. So in this guide we have compiled a list of the best power plants you can buy. From portable power plants to full-sized power plants, we've added all the popular options to this list. In addition to that, we have also included power plants that can power medical equipment such as CPAP machines. So let's go through the list and find the perfect portable powerhouse for you.

Power plants, or should I say, portable power plants are battery powered inverter generators that convert direct current to alternating current. It provides power to multiple devices via various ports and outlets. In fact, you can run your refrigerator and charge your smartphone, both at the same time using the power station.

Unlike gas-powered generators, portable power plants operate off-grid without any harmful emissions or noise. And with advances in fast charging, you can charge the power station quickly if you have frequent power outages in your area. Not to mention, power plants become compact and lightweight, so you can carry them camping or during a short trip to remote areas.

Battery capacity: More than anything else, you should check the battery capacity of a power plant, which should at least be more than 200 to 300Wh. When I say 300Wh it means it can power a 300W device for one hour. For example, a smartphone consumes around 2W to 6W, so a power station can recharge your phone almost 30 to 50 times based on your usage. So more capacity, the better it is.
