‘TIS THE season for winterizing your home, which means planning ahead for harsh weather and potential power outages. Rather than wait until the first storm hits, now is the best time to invest in a generator to backup.
We get that it’s an expensive, not-so-fun purchase. That’s why we’re psyched to let you in on this hot tip: Amazon just slashed prices on a slew of home generators, with savings up to 20% off on brands like Westinghouse, DuoMax, and Champion. The lineup includes several that came out on top when we tested home generators, with dual- and tri-fuel options, plus models that offer a range of capacity. All have key safety features, including automatic carbon-monoxide shutoff.
There’s no telling how long the sale will last, so if you want to take advantage, we highly recommend snagging one of these beasts before they sell out, or return to full-price. That way you can rest assured that you and your family are prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws our way.
