Portable generator advice
I am looking to purchase a portable generator to power some of my home during a power outage. While I don’t lose power very often, storms are getting more unpredictable and I would rather be prepared....

I have a Generac (Honeywell) 17KW NG fired standby unit for the house (15 years old) and a diesel powered (John Deere) 25 KW standby for the farm.
I would never invest in a portable genny as backup power. Standby units are much more reliable, easier to maintain and cheaper.
how in the world do you figure cheaper? i have seen quotes of 10k for a standby install.
i would also put up a honda against any consumer grade generac generator made period.
i have read multiple reports of generacs failing under 1k hours in standby use
each person needs to determine their needs, 1 solution doesn't fit all people
