Portable Generator

..............But I do gotta warn folks about Bath Tubs. They can be hazardous to ones well being. But If'n you don't use them then it's hazardous to the Social Life. What does one do?
Yes, bathtubs can be very dangerous. I'd never run a generator in the bath tub, especially a 220 volt one, even with a transfer switch.

OP -
Sam's has the blackmax 3.6KW generator on sale for $200!
If that will run your stuff it might be a contender.

I saw that one, good price. Not sure it's big enough. Actually it's only 50 watts less than the one I'm looking at and $100 cheaper. So yes, looks like a good deal.

I know a lot of people have knocked them, but I have the Harbor Freight 4000/3200 W Generator. Got it on sale for $279 and then had to by the wheel kit for another approximately $25.00. I have had it now for 3 years and use it quite a bit at a little rural structure I built. It has always cranked on the 1st or 2nd pull and I have not noticed any significant increase in fuel usage over others that I have had. One drawback is that it is pretty loud. If I am w/o electricity however that will be a minor concern.

No sir, rural water.

Usually the lowest price unit is the cheapest made. Cheapest can cost more in the long run than purchasing a middle quality machine .
