Looking at some small generators, 6500 watt or so and the Hondas are a good bit more money. Any other brands I might consider. I probably will have to end up buying what is still in stock if anything is still available. I would really like to get something to have and use for years to come and not some use once item. I did look at a Generac one a few weeks ago at Lowes that was a LP Gas model. I believe it was only a 3500 watt though.  I think that would be a good idea in that your gas would allways be fresh but I am sure you would need several of those 20 lb bottles. That wouldn't be a problem for me here in the country where I can fill my own but I am sure they would get expensive buying them in town.The electricity is out at my sons house in Little Rock and he said locally everything has been sold. I should have tried getting something around here today but I didn't get it done.
