I think it’s just a Craftsman 3500

But if I can ever get a double-wide trailer or an RV might have a little backup in an emergency

Needs gas ⛽ I think

I had a Craftsman 3,500. Good for short term use. Found all the little gennys are made mainly for weekend part time use only. Continuous use, it burnt up in 3 days use.

We have a 11KW Generic on the house. Run like a champ for the 11 days we were out of power in 07 and still going strong. Moral of the story is you get what you pay for.
That was in cold weather and often thing I should go to water cooled for summer use. Pain in the rear but may be worth it if we lose long term power in the summer.

I’m sure it’s gas. Still far better than nothing, and very cheap. Next step is to get some battery storage for phones and computers. Look up Jackery on Amazon (or wherever), they great units in the 500 to 2000 Watt-hour range!
