Yes, Kendall, but does it have an Eco-throttle to conserve fuel consumption? When this puppy is only powering a few lights it uses very little fuel and it ramps up automatically to match the load, powering the furnace (or AC), fridge, freezer, TV, microwave... when it needs to. It can go 5.1 hours at full tilt on a tank of gas (16.5l) and 14 hours at low throttle which means 8 hours of sleep for me when the power is out. It eases Mum's mind... and, therefore, mine.

Me? I have a Norwegian style stove that comes apart for transport. Dangerous as hell but it'll keep the pipes from freezing. And I have a lot of blankets and a badass sleeping bag. No generator.
