Garage
Quite a few years ago I bought this one.

Gasoline: 3600 Rated Watts | 4400 Peak Watts
Propane: 3300 Rated Watts | 4000 Peak Watts.

Dual fuel and electric start w/Honda engine.

Has wheels so can be moved around very easily.

I don't think you can get this exact model anymore but have to say it's worked fantastic over the years on those rare occasions when our power was out due to storm activity - usually hurricanes.

I just leave it year round on my back concrete covered patio. I bought a heavy duty electric extension cord meant to be used with portable generators to bring power into the house. I just go though my rear patio door opening. Not ideal and one day want to make a small access hole I can fish it through.

I always keep non-ethanol gasoline on hand for use with my motorcycles and power equipment, so along with filling up my truck I have never run out of fuel. I also keep a couple propane tanks on hand just in case.

Once inside I run extension cords to various appliances where needed. Refrigerator, window AC unit, a lamp or two, and my TV and DVD player.

I can also use my washing machine and microwave.

Aside from having extension cords all over inside, it works pretty good, for my needs.

BTW, I really liked this generator so much I bought a second one and keep it in it's original box in my garage. I also have new window AC units still in their boxes for backup. I'm a big believer in backups. I also have new fuel line I keep inside my house for the Honda engine as over time they can fail. That electric start is fantastic but it also has a recoil/rope pull as backup.
