My wife and I have decided to bite the bullet and purchase a home generator. We plan on waiting until summer so I thought it might be a good idea to start this thread to get feedback. For those who own one, things such as what brand, how long have you owned it and other pertinent comments would be helpful. For those like us, who are planning to purchase one, any research that's been done by prospective buyers would be helpful. Thanks in advance to any and all who reply.
