[quote=Anonymous]The better the generator, the more it will cost. We got one at Costco 2.5 years ago for about $900-$1,000. The retail on it was a few hundred dollars more. We used it after the derecho for 3 days and a handful of other times, but only for a few hours, not days.

Things that make one generator better: noise from the engine (Honda engines are much quieter than others). Total kw capacity/output (basically - how much do you wan to run at a time). My husband (who is an admitted techno nerd and also quite handy) got whatever part is necessary such that he can plug the generator into our circuit breaker and power the refrigerator, deep freezer, ceiling fans, some outlets/lights, etc. It can't do the clothes dryer, but can do the washer. We did run the DW once after the Derecho (were out for 3 days). Basically, you have to manage the KW the appliances will be using and then make your decisions.

You can get generators from Home Depot and Lowes. And Costco (like we did). [/quote]
