Default Generators - Whatcha got?

I need to quit putting off buying a generator. Just wondering which ones you guys all have and whether you like your generator? Diesel? Gas? Also, how many watts do you need compared to how many watts is the generator? Any regrets?

Big sales on these days...I should take advantage of that!

Wow 7500 watt i was thinking of a honda eu 2000 inverter. Its light weight and can double up for camping use.

I am extremely happy with my Honda 6500W (gas). Very dependable.... even after almost a year without using it and the same gas. Obviously it's much better to keep up on the maintenance, but hey, I was gonna get to that eventually.

2000W Honda will run my pumps and heaters in a power failure and doubles as our camping unit
