Figure now is a good time to be thinking about this, rather than waiting for the first power safety shutdown to be announced.
Looking for something on small side. Leaning toward quiet models that run on dual fuel - gasoline or propane. Something between 2200W and 3500W. Also would prefer one that will run for 8 hours at half or less load (we're only needing to run our fridge/freezer and TV - a 900W inverter hooked up to the car battery worked fine last year).
A big question is whether to look for a name brand, or go with specs/user reviews. Lots of brands I've never heard of on Amazon and Home Depot - seem like they may be good deals.
Thoughts? Any experience with the cheapie brands?
Thanks!
