Buffalo generator I bought in 2012. June 30 2012 a Friday we had a derecho. My wife called me at work and said stay put the neighbors roof blew off. I rode the motorcycle to work. Everyone at work said you better get going. I never left we had major storm I got home a tree across the road on my property got that cleaned we had no power. Went to town to eat was looking for a generator. Went to Lowes Menards sold out. Went to TCS had a 1500 watt for 1hundred and 50 bucks on sale. I could watch TV run a fridge and a fan. That small machine brought so much relief. We had about a week with no power. I would bum showers or ponds. After this was done I adjusted the valve lash I use it now to run a electric pole saw. My thoughts a pole saw would be nice. Major name brands are 600 dollars. And that is fine for a lot use. I put it on the golf cart run a lot of tools just fine.
