  2. What size do I need for well pump, forced air furnace (oil powered) and fridge?

  3. Very informative. Thank you.
    A pity he's almost drowned out by the up-beat noise used to make the video "exciting". As though the importance of this video is not already sufficient for that!

  5. I appreciate but I’m new at this and I’m not sure how to connect say the refrigerator to the extension cord, was hoping it would be mentioned

  6. Never showed just WHERE those yellow extension cords are plugged into FROM the generator 🤔

  8. I don't think I can use this. It looks too complicated and dangerous. Also my door doesn't have any space underneath to run the cables. Will think about a solar generator.

  10. Chain and lock it to a vehicle in the driveway and re fuel while generator is running

  11. All these videos are made during a sunny summer day. When the power goes out, it will be 4:00 in the morning, 36 degrees, and during a driving rain, snow, or ice storm with howling wind. Still……if you can make a fresh pot of coffee, it’s worth it, lol

  12. Welp, honestly at first I was going to get one, but this looks like no simple task. I'll just have to turn on the chimney instead and pray power won't be out, or out for long. Sheesh.

  13. Is it not dangerous for the plugs to get wet when having to plug them in to the generator which is outside?

  15. I love how everyone here looked at generators AFTER a power failure. Rookies…
