I used to do the 5-6000 watt genset with extension cord set up and it was needed quite often, sometimes for a week or so during ice storms and etc. It was a pain to set up, noisy and very limited.
About six years ago a local department store (Upton's) went out of business and I was there buying some fixtures from them for my retail store. They asked if I was interested in a genset, I asked about it and made them an offer on two of them including the auto switches. They took my offer and I picked them up, set one at my house and one at my Dad's house. They are Onan's with a Cummins diesel engine, cabinet and built in 100 gallon fuel tanks. They are both 30KW, have low hours and will run the complete house. I had an electrician friend install them and they have been great. When the electricity goes out for 3 seconds they fire right up and you are back in business. It will automatically switch back and power off after the grid is back on for 5 minutes steady. So keep your eyes open and look around at some of these businesses going out and you may pick up one of these for not much more than a name brand portable genset would cost you.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
