Why Most Portable Generator "Specs" Are A COMPLETE Lie (What The Box Won't Tell You)

🌱 The Complete Modern Decay Vault — every report from every video. https://moderndecay.gumroad.com/l/tbb... Most portable generator buyers are comparing the wrong specs. Peak watts, misleading noise ratings, and vague marketing claims hide the numbers that actually determine whether your generator survives a real outage. This video breaks down the only generator specs that truly matter in 2026 — including running watts, THD, inverter power, runtime, and fuel strategy. If you're buying backup power this year, this is the information the box usually avoids telling you.
