On a related note, some years ago I invested in a largish agricultural tank, as we had been in a drought for a few years and had significant outdoor water use restrictions. Tank went in late Spring, capturing rainwater from my roof, along with an irrigation pump.
It promptly started raining seriously that Summer, really seriously that Fall and Winter, such that by Spring, all the reservoirs were full. Made me wonder if I should have invested.
I’m intrigued with that Nexus thing, what’s the deal with that? I’ll have to study it a little, I don’t understand it and don’t like that!
I’m still operating with a getting-long-in-the-tooth 20-year-old pull start 4500W/5500W surge gasoline genset that has gotten me through a few long outages with heat (runs gas heat furnace), refrigeration, and basic lighting, network, and TV.
It is part of the EGO set of battery operated lawn equipment. We have the self-propelled mower (great), leaf blower (my favorite), weed-whacker (great), hedge trimmer (great), edger (great) and chainsaw (excellent). Batteries are interchangeable. Excellent reviews.
Had been eyeing the inverter generator for a year. Waited until comfortable with the durability of the yard gadgets to spring for the generator/inverter. Batteries have come a long way in the past couple of years. 3 year warranty.
