Nice if you want to spend 10-15k, by the time you buy it, get it delivered, a pad installed, and an electrician to hook it up. The house behind mine has one and yeah, to them there was no power outage. But for $699 I have heat, TV, lights and a dry basement. Add in my gas stove and I had warm meals. Sure, I have to go get gas now and then, and I can’t run my whole house just like I was on street power, but I have $9300 to $14300 in my pocket. I just can’t justify spending that much for something I might use 5 hours per year total most years, and maybe 6-7 days this freak year.
