Disclosure

EnergyReckon uses affiliate links two ways. Bluetti and Renogylinks run through the Impact affiliate network — a single brand-level link by default, or a deep link straight to that specific product's page on the brand's own site where we've set one up. Select individual products instead link through the Amazon Associatesprogram, product by product, since none of those brands has a direct program we're part of — currently a range of battery stations (Jackery, EcoFlow, Anker, ALLPOWERS, OSCAL, OUKITEL), generators (Honda, NOVUS, Generac, Champion, Westinghouse, WEN, DuroMax, Briggs & Stratton, POXURIO), solar panels (Jackery, EcoFlow), the DIY battery boxes and hybrid inverters (Ampinvt, Y&H, and generic/import listings) on the DIY battery boxes page, and the soft-start devices (Micro-Air, SoftStartUSA) shown under the “Soft starter installed?” toggle on the generator and battery calculators. Either way, if you click a “Check price” link on this site and buy something, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.

These links show up wherever a product is listed or happens to be the recommended fit for your numbers — the generator specs table and individual review pages, the accessories and consumables list, the picks the calculators return, product recommendations inside blog posts, and the export summary. Every affiliate link is labeled “(affiliate link)” right next to it — not just noted here. Every other model-name link on this site goes to our own detail page, not a retailer.

If more brands get added, this page will say so specifically before it happens — which retailer, which pages, and how it works — the same standard the FTC requires for affiliate disclosures.

What won't change

The calculator's math is published, deterministic, and identical for every generator: your running-watt total plus the largest single starting surge, matched against manufacturer-published ratings. No commercial relationship, present or future, changes a wattage figure or a fit verdict.

How we pick recommended models

Our recommendations are chosen from specs, safety features (CO shutoff above all), and long-term ownership factors — and every pick lists who should skipit. No manufacturer or retailer sees this list before you do, pays for placement on it, or supplies us review units. Bluetti and Renogy being affiliate partners doesn't move them up this list — the same smallest-fit-first logic recommends whichever brand actually fits your load, paid link or not.

Pricing

Every price on this site is a typical street price, not a live retailer feed — we check and refresh them periodically, most recently July 2026. Every price is marked “~” for exactly this reason: real prices move with sales, stock, and shipping costs, so treat the number here as a ballpark for comparing models against each other, not a quote — always check the current listing before buying.
