# Generator Deals That Will Keep the Lights on in Any Condition

![Generator deals for all weather conditions](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Generator-Deals-.jpg>)

With the recent storms and winter closing in, you've undoubtedly thought about some worst-case scenarios. As a result, you probably came to the conclusion that you need a generator in your life. While [solar generators](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/jackery-explorer-1000-v2-solar-generator-hands-on-review-tested>) are great for some situations, harsh conditions tend to rule them out unless you need a really big power bank. That's why I've rounded up some of the best deals on generators that you can count on in any weather.

Now's the time to save on generators at all the big retailers. You can snag the [NorthStar 5500/4500-watt portable generator](<https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-9260165-11555947?sid=TD-DL&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.northerntool.com%2Fproducts%2Fnorthstar-portable-generator-with-honda-gx270-engine-5500-surge-watts-4500-rated-watts-carb-compliant-165601>) for $1,499.00 or the[ Yamaha 2200/1800-watt inverter generator](<https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-9260165-11555947?sid=TD-DL&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.northerntool.com%2Fproducts%2Fyamaha-inverter-generator-with-co-sensor-2200-surge-watts-1800-rated-watts-carb-compliant-model-ef2200isz-129861>) for $999.00 at Northern Tool. Home Depot's also letting the [Duromax 13000/10500-watt dual fuel generator](<https://homedepot.sjv.io/c/2095194/456723/8154?subId1=TD-DL&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FDUROMAX-13000-10500-Watt-Dual-Fuel-Electric-Start-Gasoline-Propane-Portable-Home-Power-Back-Up-Generator-with-CO-Alert-Shutdown-XP13000HX%2F314186063>) go for $1,699.00. You can also snatch the [Ryobi 2,300-Watt inverter generator](<https://homedepot.sjv.io/c/2095194/456723/8154?subId1=TD-DL&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FRYOBI-2-300-Watt-Recoil-Start-Bluetooth-Super-Quiet-Gasoline-Powered-Digital-Inverter-Generator-with-CO-Shutdown-Sensor-RYi2322%2F313551452>) for $599.00 if you want something a little more affordable.

Those of you after the ultimate energy source for emergencies should head over to Lowe's and check out its [Generac deals](<https://lowes.sjv.io/c/2095194/897039/12374?subId1=TD-DL&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2Fpl%2Fgenerators%2Fhome-standby-generators%2Fgenerac%2F4294641572-4294955002>). Pricing doesn't show up until the generator is in your cart, suggesting it may vary. But, for example, the [Generac Guardian 26000-watt dual fuel 200-amp home standby generator](<https://lowes.sjv.io/c/2095194/897039/12374?subId1=TD-DL&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2Fpd%2FGenerac-Guardian-26000-Watt-LP-22500-Watt-NG-Standby-Generator-with-200-Amp-Automatic-Transfer-Switch%2F5013245835>) lists at $6,387.30 for me. That's $700 below retail, making now a good time to invest in a back-up power supply for the whole home.
