WOW, 1000 gallons of propane in a month? That would be over $2,000.00 to fill it back up, at least over here it would be!

There's no way I would want/need electricity that bad! lol

Well, maybe he has a lot of catfish to fry. :D

Just an update from my original post in Sept. 2017. Was in Costco today with the DW. I always look to see if they have the this... Champion 9000 Watt DUAL FUEL Portable Generator. Well they had it and it was on sale with a instant rebate. Original price was $749 but after instant rebate I got it for $549 !!! DW said...I will get someone to help you put it on the cart.... So if anyone is looking for a portable generator....Costco has them on sale.

Congrats! Sounds like a great deal!

I thought he meant it would only be used as emergency backup, which might never happen.

Thanks ! Unpacked it and all put together today. Really good features and a thought process in design. Electric start is nice but has pull cord if necessary. Alot of safety features to ensure no overloads or burning up the thing ! It may not be the quietest machine but will keep the beer cold and the ice cream frozen....

DW is dear wife ! Been married to her for 47 years and when shopping for tools, equipment etc her answer is always..." if we really can use it buy it" Price though sometimes puts a halt to the purchase until we get the money !!

47 years!
Wow! Congratulations.

Depends on what you need it for. We have horses so need on average 80 gallons of water for them. Of course we have a well. So no power = no water. We have a couple 100 gallon troughs but that is only a couple days supply if they are full when the power goes out.

Last time it went out it was out for 12 hrs or so. I think we put 3 hrs on the generator.

I have always been sooo grateful that so many people choose to live in uninhabitable regions. I can't imagine living somewhere like Palm Springs, Phoenix, or most of the American South without electricity, but people do.
