Just remember then when all of your neighbors have power out as well that those small generators often “grow legs and disappear” … it is a very good idea to chain them up.

Also _always_ ensure the exhaust is no where near any open doors or windows. Small portable generators are exceptionally dangerous for carbon monoxide poisoning.

All that said these small generators are fantastic and they can even easily be setup to run from an external fuel tank to increase flexibility.

I run mine out of my garage with the garage door cracked and a fan pointed to push the exhaust out the crack. Have monoxide detectors in the house for safety.
