During the recent Cyclone in Central Qld, my power was out for 7 days which was a little inconvenient.
It got me thinking about Generators, and what is the best cost/output/fuel usage compromise.
I will be buying one in the next couple of months (won't be caught out again) and have been thinking about what would suit me best.
There are probably a few folks on the Forum that have some experience with these things.
At the outset, I would want it to be able to power two Fridges and an upright freezer during the day plus occasionally a washing machine.
At night I would turn off the fridges and use: Lights, TVs X2, Computers X2 & a couple of fans.
I am thinking a budget of around a grand and prefer an open frame rather than an enclosed box and preferably a 'good brand'.
I will be having an input socket put into my household mains so that I can run any electrical system or appliance I want.
Any thoughts?
