When it comes to generators, Generac has been around since 1959 and they were the first to engineer affordable home standby generators. They are strong and reliable and their past history of performance proves it. That is why Pops decided to buy and use this brand for the past several years.
The Generac GP 3300 is no longer available but an upgraded GP3600 is:

Pops has used the Generac GP3300 for more than 5 years now and has used it during 5 different power outages over that time frame. Each power outage lasted between 1 - 7 days, putting the usage hours well over 150 now. During each outage, he has powered 2 refrigerators, the kitchen and garage fridge, 2 floor fans, 2 cell phones, a large TV, desktop PC, 2 lamps, and the longest he has needed to run it is for 7 days straight, 24 hours a day.
He also ran the coffee pot in the morning, but would briefly unplug the garage fridge and then plug it back in once the coffee was made.
Let us know if you have any questions and let us know what generator you have used and how much were you able to keep running on it as well.
