what are your opinions on portable generators for emergency home use. We had a bunch of rain recently, and being winter, had a lot of water pouring into my sump pit. Luckily the sump pump kept up with it and the power never went out, but it got me thinking- if that power had gone out for any more than 5 minutes, I would have water pouring across the basement floor. I want to get a small generator, around $200-300, just for running a freezer and sump pump in an emergency. Looking at Home Depot's site, I see a few "All Power" and "Powermate" brands that seemed to get pretty good reviews. Any suggestions? Don't tell me some $900 Dewalt or Bosch or something. I don't have the money and I don't need it. Just want to keep that sump pump running in an emergency.
