Depends on what your needs/wants are.I have a Honda EU2000i generator.It ran my refrigerator, but that used about 2/3 of it's power when running.It has 2 plugs.The other plug I either ran the computer equipment and a fan, or at night my CPAP and a fan.I could have run the TV with the modem and the Router if I Â wanted to, I did that during IKE.It wasn't really taxed.But you have to limit it with something like that.Advantages;Sips gas, the ECO throttle runs the engine for the load it is supplying.I got 9 hours (it never ran out of gas) per gallonThe tank holds about a gallonIt is SUPER quiteIt weighs about 50 poundsYou can hook two of them in parallel for 4000 watts (or buy the larger ones).It has a carb drain so when you put it up, you can drain the fuel out of carb so it will start next time.A lesson I learned with HarveyBut it is NOT a whole house generator by any means.It might NOT run 2 fridges or a freezer and fridge, not sure.I really like it, did I mention it is SUPER QUITE and sips gas.Those two points alone are a big seller in my opinionWhen gas is hard to find, sipping it is a real plus.Now a whole house generator that runs off of natural gas would be great.But seems like a bit much for the occasional outages.I do see they (Generac) Â is advertizing heavy right now, but they always do that after a disaster because they sell more generators.Â
@FoFa: Thanks for the awesome info. You really broke it down and I appreciate that since I know nothing about them. I was going to buy just like a 1750 to run the fridge but with your explanation we may have to go bigger.
