Sam's Club Generators: What Members Can Buy vs Amazon (2026)
Yes, Sam's Club sells generators. As of November 2026, SamsClub.com listed gas and dual fuel portable generators from Westinghouse, Champion and Generac, Generac home standby generators with a transfer switch, and battery power stations, mostly EcoFlow, including the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3. Two of those exact models, the Delta Pro 3 and the Westinghouse iGen5000DFc, are also on Amazon, and we rate both. Below: what Sam's carries by type, the same models on Amazon, and how to choose.

By Quick verdict
Pick the generator type first, then the store. If you want whole-home battery backup that runs indoors, the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 (4,096 Wh, 4,000W AC, 120/240V) scores 95/100 in our scoring, the highest power station score on our site, and it is one of the few large stations Sam's Club lists. If 2 kWh is enough, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 (2,073.6 Wh, 2,600W AC) scores 91/100, but Sam's doesn't carry BLUETTI. For gas, Sam's lists the same Westinghouse iGen5000DFc that Amazon sells.
What Sam's Club Sells: Generator Types (November 2026)
SamsClub.com blocks automated page checks, so we confirmed these from Sam's Club's own category and product pages as listed in search results on November 11, 2026. Each link goes to the Sam's Club page we found. Online listings don't mean every club has the item on the floor.
| Type | What We Found at Sam's Club | Sam's Club Source |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter generators (gas, dual and tri-fuel) | Westinghouse iGen2200, iGen4500, iGen5000DFc and a 12,000W tri-fuel inverter; Champion inverters up to 11,000W | Dual fuel category, iGen5000DFc |
| Open-frame portable generators | Generac (including models with CO sensing), Westinghouse, Black Max, Gentron | Generators category |
| Home standby generators | Generac units in the 18–28 kW range, each sold with a 200A automatic transfer switch | Generac at Sam’s |
| Battery power stations (“solar generators”) | EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3, DELTA 2 Max, DELTA 3 bundle, RIVER 2 Max, DELTA 1000, TRAIL DC; Anker SOLIX 536 and panel bundles | Solar & Power Bank Generators, EcoFlow page |
Demand spikes before storms. Sam's Club said that in the days before the January 2026 winter storm, generator searches on SamsClub.com rose more than 50-fold, members bought tens of thousands of generators, and nearly 40% of those orders went out through curbside pickup or delivery (Sam’s Club newsroom, Jan 29, 2026). If you're buying ahead of a storm, order early or check your club's stock before you drive over.
Sam's Club Portable and Inverter Generators
Sam's portable lineup is mostly Westinghouse, Champion and Generac. What we found as of November 2026:
- Westinghouse inverters: the gas-only iGen2200, the dual fuel iGen4500 and iGen5000DFc, and a 12,000-watt tri-fuel inverter that also runs on natural gas. Sam's also lists open-frame Westinghouse dual fuel units such as the WGen3600DFcv.
- Champion: inverter models up to an 11,000-watt dual fuel home backup inverter with CO Shield, plus smaller inverters in the dual fuel category.
- Generac portables: a 10,000-watt model with a CO sensor and electric start and the GP8000E with CO-Sense.
- Other brands: Black Max and Gentron. We don't rate these.
The one gas model on both shelves: the Westinghouse iGen5000DFc is listed at Sam's Club (Sam’s) and on Amazon. Westinghouse rates it at 5,000 peak / 3,900 running watts on gasoline and 3,500 running watts on propane (Westinghouse, Norwall). It scores 73/100 on our gas-generator scale. Westinghouse also sells an iGen5000DFcv, a different model, so check the model number on the box.
Safety first: the CPSC says to run a portable generator outside only, at least 20 feet from the house with the exhaust pointed away, and never in a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or shed, even with doors and windows open (CPSC safety alert, CPSC CO center). Pair any gas generator with a battery CO alarm; see our portable CO detector guide. Our best inverter generator guide compares the gas models in detail.
Sam's Club Generac Standby Generators
Sam's Club sells Generac home standby generators bundled with a 200-amp automatic transfer switch, in sizes from 18 kW to 28 kW (Sam’s Generac page, 18 kW listing, 22 kW Guardian listing). A standby unit is permanently installed and runs on natural gas or propane, so the box price is only part of the job: it still needs a gas line, an electrical hookup and often a permit, so check with your local building department.
We couldn't find a Sam's Club installation service page, so plan to get your own quote from a licensed electrician or a Generac dealer before you order. If you'd rather not install anything, a large battery station with a transfer switch or EcoFlow's Smart Home Panel is the plug-in alternative; our transfer switch guide explains the wiring options.
Sam's Club Solar Generators and Power Stations
Sam's Club files battery stations under Solar & Power Bank Generators (Sam’s category), and the selection leans heavily on EcoFlow. What we found as of November 2026:
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3: the 4,000-watt station on its own (Sam’s listing) and bundled with the Smart Home Panel 2 in 4 kWh and 8 kWh configurations (Sam’s bundle).
- Other EcoFlow: the RIVER 2 Max, the older DELTA 1000, a DELTA 3 bundle with two solar panels, the DELTA 2 Max and the TRAIL DC (Sam’s EcoFlow page).
- Anker SOLIX: the SOLIX 536 and larger F-series stations sold as bundles with solar panels (Sam’s category).
- Not found: we found no Jackery or BLUETTI listings on SamsClub.com. If you want either brand, compare them on Amazon below.
Some older EcoFlow models still appear at Sam's, so match the model name and generation. The DELTA 1000 is an earlier model than the DELTA 3 series, and the RIVER 2 Max is a 512 Wh station; for that size, our EcoFlow RIVER guide compares it with the newer RIVER 3 line.
Same Models on Amazon, With Our Ratings
These are models we rate, with what we found for each at Sam's Club as of November 11, 2026. Ratings are out of 100 from our scoring matrix, which we build from published specs, Amazon prices and Amazon customer reviews; we don't physically test products. Specs and prices are for the Amazon listing.

Gas Inverter Generators
| Model (Amazon) | Running / Peak (Gas) | Runtime at 25% Load | Weight | SGA Gas Rating | At Sam's Club? | Amazon Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Dual Fuel Inverter Generator
|
3,900W / 5,000W | 18 h (published) | ~106 lb | 73/100 | Same model listed | $999.00 | See Price → |
Champion 4500-Watt Electric Start Dual Fuel Inverter Generator
|
3,500W / 4,500W | 14 h (published) | ~99.2 lb | 65/100 | Champion brand listed; this exact model not confirmed | $999.00 | See Price → |
Gas generators are scored on a separate rubric (output, value, runtime, CO protection, noise, portability), so a gas score isn't directly comparable with a power station score. Sam's Club stock varies by club and day, and a Sam's listing may be a bundle or a variant of the Amazon model.
Gas, Standby or Battery: Which Type Fits
Battery stations hold a fixed amount of energy; gas generators run as long as you have fuel. For a battery, multiply capacity by about 0.85 for inverter losses and divide by your load in watts. The 100W column stands in for a fridge cycling on and off (check its EnergyGuide label), and 500W is roughly a fridge plus a furnace blower and lights.
| Battery Station | Usable (~85%) | Router + Modem (20W) | 100W Average Load | 500W Load |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 (1,024 Wh) | ~870 Wh | ~43.5 h | ~8.7 h | ~1.7 h |
| Bluetti Elite 200 V2 (2,074 Wh) | ~1,763 Wh | ~88.1 h | ~17.6 h | ~3.5 h |
| EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 (4,096 Wh) | ~3,482 Wh | ~174.1 h | ~34.8 h | ~7.0 h |
Estimates, not measurements. For your own appliances, use our solar generator size calculator.
Gas or dual fuel inverter
Best for long outages and big loads like a well pump or central air, if you can store fuel and run it 20+ feet outside. The iGen5000DFc publishes 18 hours at 25% load on one tank. See solar vs gas generators.
Battery power station
Best when you need power indoors, quietly, with no fuel to store, such as for medical devices, a fridge, Wi-Fi and a furnace blower. Recharge from solar, the wall or a generator. See winter storm power backup.

Sam's Club Membership, Pickup and Returns
How you get a heavy generator home matters as much as the model. Here's what Sam's Club's own help pages say (we don't quote membership fees or prices):
| Topic | What Sam's Club Says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Shipping | Plus members get free shipping on eligible orders above a minimum order value; free shipping isn't listed as a Club-tier benefit | Club & Plus benefits |
| Curbside pickup | Free for Plus members; free for Club members on eligible orders above a minimum | Club & Plus benefits |
| Returns | Most online purchases can be returned to any U.S. club; electronics and major appliances have their own return windows; generators aren't named | Returns help |
A 2 kWh battery station weighs around 50 lb (the Elite 200 V2 is 53.4 lb and the Delta 2 Max is 50 lb), and the Delta Pro 3 and the iGen5000DFc are each over 100 lb, so for those, plan on two people or delivery. Before you return a gas generator, ask your club how it handles units that have had fuel in them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sam's Club sell generators?
Yes. As of November 2026, SamsClub.com had a Generators category with gas portable generators, dual fuel and tri-fuel inverter generators, and Generac home standby generators sold with a 200-amp automatic transfer switch. Brands we found include Westinghouse, Champion, Generac, Black Max and Gentron. It also lists battery power stations, mostly EcoFlow plus some Anker SOLIX models, under Solar & Power Bank Generators. Stock varies by club and changes often, so check the listing for your club.
Does Sam's Club sell solar generators?
Yes, if you mean battery power stations that can charge from solar panels. As of November 2026, Sam's Club listed EcoFlow models including the DELTA Pro 3, a DELTA Pro 3 bundle with the Smart Home Panel 2, the RIVER 2 Max, the DELTA 1000 and a DELTA 3 bundle with two solar panels, plus Anker SOLIX stations such as the 536. We found no Jackery or BLUETTI listings at Sam's Club, so for those brands look elsewhere, such as Amazon.
Is the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 at Sam's Club the same as on Amazon?
Sam's Club lists a 4,000-watt EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3, and the Amazon listing we rate is the same model: 4,096 Wh, 4,000W AC and 120/240V output. Sam's Club also sells it bundled with the Smart Home Panel 2. Compare what is in the box (a bare station, an extra battery or a panel bundle), not just the name, before you compare the two stores.
Does Sam's Club install standby generators?
We could not find a Sam's Club installation service page. The Generac standby listings we found ship the generator with a 200-amp automatic transfer switch, and a standby unit still needs a gas line, an electrical hookup and usually a permit. Ask a licensed electrician or a Generac dealer for an installed quote before you order.
Can I return a generator to Sam's Club?
Sam's Club's returns help page says most online purchases can be returned to any Sam's Club in the United States, and it lists separate return windows for categories such as electronics and major appliances. It does not name generators, so read the current policy and ask your club before you buy, especially for a gas unit that has had fuel in it.
Should I buy a gas generator or a battery power station for outages?
A gas inverter generator gives you more watts for longer, as long as you have fuel, but it must run outdoors. The CPSC says to keep a portable generator at least 20 feet from the house and never run it in a garage. A battery station runs indoors and silently but holds a fixed amount of energy: the 4,096 Wh Delta Pro 3 runs a 100W average load for about 34.8 hours before it needs solar, wall or generator charging.
