Great Emergency generator sale

retiredgal · 12-10-2007, 12:06 PM

Thanks to "Netboy", we learned of a great affordable generator at Home Depot, 5500 watts, portable, normally $699, now $399 and finally broke down and bought one, which means now, we probably will never experience another power outage? LOL....:tongue:

This is more than enough power in an emergency for what we want to do and they told us they are selling these generators at this price like crazy?
I wonder why?

That is very inexpensive for a 5500 watt. What is the brand? I would suspect a disposable Chinese model. Should work well for emergencies. Keep the fuel treated. Paid a lot more than that for my Honda.

It is cheap for sure!
It is called a "Powermate " and they have a Nebraska base. 10 HP Yamaha OHV engine.

Honda's are very spendy and I think a top of the line type?

We just need one for emergencies and don't need a great quality model or line?

I'm glad we have one at all?
