We have had one for about 2 years now, and I wouldn't be without it, or I should say that my wife wouldn't be without it since my work requires me to be away from home a lot. The unit starts on its own once a week, runs for 15-20 minutes, and then shuts down. When the power goes off, you set in the dark for maybe 10 seconds and then you hear the generator start, wait another 15-20 seconds and the lights come back on. When the power company restores the electricity, the only way you know it is that the generator shuts down, you don't even see the lights flicker. We have ours hooked to a 100 gallon tank, which was barely adequate last year when we lost the the electicity for about 40 hours, so they aren't cheap to run. But for the peace of mind, priceless. I have the entire house hooked to the unit, not just the priority circuits like they are designed to be connected, and never have had a problem. Of course we don't turn on the oven, the dryer, and everything else all at once, but use a little common sense and you should be all set. So my final advice, put it in, you won't regret it
