How StationSizer works
We don't buy or test products. Instead we keep a spec database of 14 current models, with each figure copied from the manufacturer's own product page and linked, and we build calculators on top of it. Appliance wattages come from published generator-maker charts (Honda and Champion), and every page lists its sources. More about our method.
