Do you have any plans to move to Martha’s Vineyard this week?
I bought a generator in late Summer 1999. While in line with it on a pallet, the guy behind me asked “Is that a Y2K generator”.
I said “That’s an Atlanta Winter ice storm, hurricane Opal, Dunwoody Tornado, Y2K generator.”
Y2K came and went, no big deal. We had a Winter storm in late January of 2000 and were without utility power for 60 hours, and my SIL/BIL used the generator for another day beyond that, as they didn’t get power back as quickly. As far as I am concerned, that insurance cost (because that is how you should look at a generator purchase) paid for itself in that event in the first year of ownership, and every time I’ve used it since was just gravy (probably 2-3 times). It’s still going strong, I change the oil annually and exercise it quarterly.
where do you live NOW?
