Todd, I haven't tried it yet.

Re: Generators, buy a name brand, Honda, Yamaha. The cheap ones at Pep Boys you can't get parts for. I have the Honda 2000. Run Mobil 1 oil, it'll cost you $10 more over its life. Run it once a month with a load, like your wife's hairdryer (ten minutes with load, 5 minutes without load to cool down). I know several people who let one sit for six months, or more and the carb was gummed up badly and wouldn't start and spend $100 to have a service tech clean it out . Have 5 gallons of gas handy and put Stabil fuel stabilizer in the five gallon tank. The stabilized gas is supposed to be good for a year, in six months, dump the fuel in your car and replace the gas and fuel stabilzer, It won't cost you a cent more, because you'd use the gas anyway, just replacing old fuel stock.

Also the Honda provides a true sine wave AC, not a clipped one, which your electronics will appreciate.
