not everyone most people dont drop 4k+ on something theyre going to use once in a blue moon
My house and apartment have the automatic standby generators that go on as soon as the power goes out, but they both came like that. I probably wouldn't ever buy one of those myself though. My parents have one of the portable gas powered ones, but it has 8 outlets on it so they can at least use stuff like the shower, tvs, etc.
you must be talking about the portable ones that run off gas, im referring to the ones you have installed and run off lp or natural gas
regardless, very few houses have one, even if we're referring to the portable ones
That said, still only about 3% of households have standby generators and only about 12% have portable ones, according to estimates from Generac, which tracks industry sales, including those of its competitors.
Kinda surprising to read this, a small portable generator would be beneficial for most homeowners to have.
