Have decided having a standby generator to keep things going in the event the power is off for a few days is a good fit for me. Most reviews I've found tend to focus mostly on matching needs to size......and most of the "online review" websites appear to be nothing more than thinly disguised shills for whoever it is they recommend. So not trustworthy.
So the choices seem to be permanent install and hooked to a large fuel source (like natural gas or propane)...one that fires on it's own, or a portable unit you rig and fire up as needed.
Then there is the option of generator or inverter generator. I've been told by one guy the latter is the way to go for a cleaner power and also is more fuel efficient as it operates more or less at an idle until demand kicks in vs. grinding away at full throttle. But most of the inverter/generators may not be big enough in the breaches to do the job.
Anyway, started doing the research when it dawned on me there are probably dozens of folks on YT who have already done the homework and can share what works best.
Any ideas?
