We smile and wiggle our toes, too! Every time!
We even had a power outage last Fall weeks after it was installed and we weren’t in town. It sends us a message whenever it kicks on, plus the power company also does that when there are outages in our neighborhood. It’s been great.
So far, the power has always been restored within a couple of hours each time, but I sure enjoy not having to use the portable generator. We are considering selling our old one to neighbors if they ever decide they want one. Until they do, we will keep it as a back up for when it’s a long power outage for the neighbors as a loaner.
Word of advice check your oil levels occasionally. I almost let mine get too low. It is after all (in my case) just a little air cooled small 4 cycle engine.
