This is a most interesting topic.
I had been looking for a generator to use as a minimal backup for home for use in power outages for several days to mainly keep refrigerator & freezer running and occasional dry camping use. Recently, just before Hurricane Dennis hit the Gulf, I could not locate a generator within 150 miles. Last year when Hurricane Ivan hit the Gulf coast, even though we are 160 miles inland, we were without power for 6 days.
Based on the extensive discussion on this thread, earlier this week through Ebay I bought from the distributor in Buffalo NY the Eliminator 3000 Watt Premium Gas Portable Generator. Notified it will be delivered by UPS early next week.
Hope this will be delivered in good condition, several years ago the UPS delivery dropped a new computer in my driveway - what a hassle resolving including the time involved. I will watch for the delivery and try and meet him at truck.
Check to see all screws and bolts are tight on generator, add oil and gas and test right away.
