Smile Re: Generator Advice

Since you already bucked-up on the good Weather Station and the killer software program, you really don't want to cheap out and buy a generator without an inverter in it to run your electronics with. The "Pure Sine-Wave" or "clean" power the inverter produces is equivalent to your utility company's house current whereas most of the lower-priced models out there produce a "modified" or "square" sine-wave power that in some cases can cause interference issues with TV's, printers, etc. I run my whole deal with my Honda EU2000i (no A/C or heat though), and it runs pretty much all day on a tank of fuel and is super-quiet. I shopped mine pretty hard beforehand and bought it from Wise Equipment out around Chicago. Hope that helps....
