Greetings one and all.
I am an occasional lurker and thought it might be good to get opinions.
As I was adjusting my foil hat t'other day I had a whatif moment. You know the sort of thing, Zombie Apocalypse/WW3/Freak Weather/terrorist strike on the national grid etc
This was caused by someone in another place highlighting some cheap
1100w gennys.I realised at once that 1100 is, effectively no real use to man nor beast and if I were to invest my hard earned in something bigger then an ad hoc approach may well not be the way forward.
I took advice from a denizen of t'internet who suggested that a posting here might help firm up ideas which are, as I write, somewhat diaphanous in nature.
My, based on nothing much, wish list;
Generator ca 5500 elect start. Ability to run generator from time to time to change fuel/ check system Quite happy to run cable from Gen to input point as required rather than perm/semi-perm cable into house. Don't require auto start or anything posh.
I understand that it needs a changeover switch., but what else?
Note. I will not be doing this myself I have a trained person available.

Your comments/observations would be welcome.
