After hurricane Irene nearly flooded my basement I need to buy a generator, I have been putting this off for years.......If it wasnt for my shop vac and sump pump I would really be in trouble as they were the only two things that saved my ass.
I never lost power in a storm only one time we had a blackout and I forget what happened but it wasnt cause of a storm. My point is this is not going to be used often so I cannot justify spending several thousand dollars.
I want something kinda big as I have to run two refrigerators, stand up freezer, shop vac, sump pump at a minimum. I would like to have some lights on, maybe a TV and a fan?? Nevermind my boiler if the power went out during a storm.
I see Ebay and Sams club is selling Snap On generators 5750 continous, 6500 peak watts for under 500.00, Yes 500 dollars, Ebay has another snap on generator with a yamaha engine for a few hundred more. Are they any good?
How else makes a decent unit? Briggs & Stratton Storm Chaser 7000watts uits are 799.99. Any good? I hear they are super loud! IDK
I appreciate any help!
