Earthquake preparedness is on everyones mind. Being prepared means that you might consider buying a generator. I have, and this is going to be good information. 7 on your sides Michael Finney is partnering exclusively with Consumer Reports for some tips. Do you have a generator . No, i didnt know which one to get. We all think about it and heres good information. Having a portable generator is a very good idea. Consumer reports just tested more than 40, and you can tell which generators offer the best performance so you have the power when you need it. This woman purchased her first generator after losing power for about a week three times in a row. It was so cold. The house was down to 50 degrees. I had no water, no electricity and no heat and no way to cook, and i said were getting a generator. Krrts tests portable generators and says you want one with about 5,000 to 7,000 watts of power. That would give you enough to power your essentials, a refrigerator, well or sump pump, computer, microwave and lights. Testers check to see how much power is actually delivered and the quality of that power. You want a generator that can deliver the power claims, maintain voltage and handle the power surges from appliances that cycle on and off like a refrigerator or an air conditioner. Its also better for computer and other electronic devices. For 4,000 this toprated honda delivers the smoothest and quietest path. The Consumer Reports found plenty of less extensive generators and that one not as quiet handles surges of power even better. Among them, this 900 troy built, also for 900 this jenerac which they say is very easy to start. And, remember, whichever generator you choose youll need anywhere from 8 to 20 gallons of gasoline to keep it running 24 hours a day, and because gasoline can go bad, be sure to add some fuel stabilizer to your gas. Wouldnt that be nice to have that in an emergency . Im gradual remind it about the gas line. Id be the kind that buys the generator and forget to buy the gas and then say why doesnt this work . Michael, thank you. Breaking news in the south bay. A grass fire burning along both sides of highway 152.
