We went through this...
Bought a portable 10,000w gas generator on ebay (they have diesel too), and made a hook up in the garage for the 220.
Since we bought it 5 years ago, power hasnt gone out ONCE.
Glad I spent only $1500 (generator $1000/switch box $500)...
Love the generator, and use it for tons of stuff all the time.
Neighbor got a permanently mounted one, spent $10,000...
Whats the point? If your power goes out once or twice a year, portable is the better bet. Plus, it has resale value.
