I am thinking about this too.
I had a scare with the power out for 4 hrs a month back.

I borrowed a friends at the 3.5 hour mark.

So this is probably a cheap backup.

Its 1200 watts maximum rated watts and ONLY 1500w at start up. Still a good back up generator. Just wanted to make sure anybody interested knows the sustained wattage.

Thanks this is a good idea

Right now for my backup plan I have a car inverter that can run

Both heaters
DC return pump
1 maybe 2 pumps(maybe the wp25 in there)
And I have a battery air pump

Just need to keep the car running ... Lol
