I bought a Chineejunk generator a few years back. Diesel engine and a 7.5 kw generator. That derecho that came thru a few years ago put it to it's first test. And it worked fine. I did a better wire up down in the basement a few months ago and put in a breaker directly into the panel from a dryer outlet for a pigtail. Last evening, the power went out and the genny got fired up. It ran good for a couple of hours, but then went down to 150 volts and everything in the house went dim, so I shut it down and we hoped for the best.
Still no power this morning, so I hit the hardware store for a 50 amp plug for the pigtail so I could hook up a 50 kw PTO generator I bought at a farm sale over on the eastern shore early this spring. Hooked it up behind the 2520 and cranked it up. Power finally came back on around 2 or so, and it didn't miss a lick.
It's easy to hook up, has way more capacity than I'll ever need, is quieter than the Changjunk, and requires no engine maintenance other than what I have to do anyway. And it only cost me $400 for a genny that is probably $2-3 g's otherwise. I think that's a win.....
