[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 48710, member: 21"] One thing about the relative cheapie generators. They don't last all that long. Most will only go a few hundred hours. In a week you will use a good part of it's life. That's also why you don't want to get one that has been run too much. Be sure to maintain it. I'm thinking that you will need to replace the oil every day if you are going 24/7. Everything in that thread applies. The freezer and fridge might only take 500 watts or so while running, but anything with a compressor requires a big surge of 1000 or more watts to start. Don't get anything smaller than 3000 or 3500 watts. I was given a 1000 watt genny and the thing is pretty much useless. I never tried it, but I doubt it would run my fridge or my freezer. Good luck and I'm sure that everyone here will be pulling for you. [/QUOTE]
