that is what I was thinking, but several in this thread have poo pooed that need.If you plan to run electronic devices, and are going to buy a NEW generator, you definitely should buy an inverter style generator.
The plan is to buy NEW (not new to me but new new). Mainly want to run the well, pumps on the boiler and the fridge/freezer. But since you are running a generator you might as well have some creature comforts. Especially since I need a generator big enough to run the well in the first place.
The Champion I posted about in the first post ticks all my desires.
Inverter
Size
Electric Start
The only thing it does not have is a dual fuel option. Although the generator I do have is gasoline only. We have had it for about 8 years. The only time it did not start was when I forgot to plug the battery minder in. It started on the third pull, but man the recoil start on that thing is a bear with a bad back.
