I thought about getting one of those, but if things got really bad, I figure I don't want to be the only guy on the block with a house all lit up, and a noisy generator running that can be heard for 1/4 mile. I have two little 6000 Kva generators, each of which will run all my 110 outlets for as long as I have gas to put in them. I have it rigged to plug into dryer outlet to supply distribution panel.

I want to get a battery solar generator to run at night, if things get really bad so know one will be able to tell I have power. I also have been putting down a shallow well that I intend to put a pitcher pump on it for emergency water. I do have a well, and not city water, so would only need if I ran out of generator fuel to run well pump.

I just got the second generator for free. A guy down the street bought it. Ran it one time, and didn't run the gas out of carb when done, so it clogged up the carb. I just took the carb off, cleaned the needle valve and bowl, put it back together and it cranked on first pull.

Funny, this neighbor bought another brand new generator, did same thing with it. It's sitting out in his yard, and has only ran once. Then he bought another third generator and by this time, learned to turn gas off and let if run out before storing it for season.

One of these days I'm gonna bite the bullet and get solar with 2 or 3 Tesla Powerwalls. Our power sucks - brownouts, blackouts, and the power seems dirty. I work from home and have 3 UPSs to save my servers and storage, and I hear them click on several times every day to protect my systems from bad power. I lost a NAS a couple of years ago because the power flickered on and off 6 times quickly as the power company was restoring service. Cost me over $2500.

The powerwalls will keep the power inside clean and I won't have to worry about propane if I had a generac. I wish they were cheaper though. If you haven't seen or heard of them: https://www.tesla.com/powerwall
