ZandraJoi Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Either a whole-home or a portable one? We have a portable one but we are getting a whole-home. We lose power more here than our last house & it’s worth the investment. I don’t feel comfortable with our portable one so my husband would have to come home to start it up. Not to mention having to pick & choose what you can run. A few years ago we lost power for near a day in an Arctic Blast. It got extremely cold in our house. After that, we looked into & saved up for a whole-home one.
The Blackangel Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 I have a Celestron Power Tank, but I only have it to run my telescope. It can power several things and even be used to jump a vehicle, but I don't use it for any of that. Just my telescope. It's technically not a generator, but it does provide power when it's charged.

killamch89 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 My apartment complex has a back-up generator and it's a blessing. I have power all the time so I hardly ever have to worry about outages. In addition to that, I have a UPS for my computer area so just in case the complex generator ever runs out of juice, I have that as a backup.
Empire Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Nope, we in the UK do not get power cuts that often and if it does might only happen once or more a year. Thinks to lines under the ground and just as safe. Back in Ozz where I came from powerlines are flying and always have tress falling on them and cuts a the normal thing. I used to live out in the farming and seen and had generator back 10 years ago.
killamch89 Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 When I buy a house, I'm definitely going to get a generator because I always work from home so I need power. Time lost = Earnings lost.
