Anyone have a home generator, the stationary air-cooled type. The Lowe's guy says they're pretty good when the power goes out. They carry the Centurion (least expensive) and Kohler(much more expensive) brands.They recommended a 12,000-14,000 watt sytem for a 2,000 sf home. A friend of mine has a Generac model, which he's only had to use once in 10 years but it worked beautifully in a ice storm.
What are the pros/cons? What brand did you buy? Would you buy the same brand again or go with someting different...and most important, are they worth the few thousand dollar outlay?
