Generac 8000W Running 10000W Peak Gasoline-Powered Generator $699.97 at Costco B&M YMMV
$699.97
$1,000.00
I've been waiting on the right deal on a generator and when I was at Costco today I saw that they have the Generac XT8000EFI generator on clearance for $699.97. It has very good reviews and great power for the price. I believe the regular price was $1000.
It is in-store only and since it is a clearance price it may be YMMV. I bought mine in the Seattle area and they had several available. Located with the other generators.
Here is a link [generac.com] to Generac's product page, for reference only.

No nat gas that I can tell. Maybe there's a kit out there that I'm not seeing. It is fuel injected which may help avoid normal carb issues from old fuel. Seems like a good price. Last year it went on sale at 799 but had a mfr rebate.
The problem is I want the generator in teh back yard and the circuit breaker is in the front of my house, in the garage. Can an electrician put one in the back of the house and run the wires or is that impossible?
The only thing about that is you're gonna spend a ton of $$$ on gas. Even propane fueled generators burn through 3 canisters a day on basic stuff (from my research).
But if you have a Natural Gas line you can hook up , that is probably the most efficient.

1. This model provides clean power. This is one of the only generators on the market with this high of an output that can provide clean power The cleanliness is on the level of an inverter generator. Clean power = safe for electronics of all sorts
2. To go along with number 1, this generator is one of the only clean power output generators that has a 220v output which allows for connection to a transfer switch, something inverter generators are not capable of.
3. It is loud, we are considering building some sort of pop up wood barrier to muffle the sound a bit.
4. The small battery must have a charge to be able to run the fuel injection system. Not sure why there is a pull start on these when you can't run it without the battery which also gives you the electric start. We thankfully haven't needed the generator yet in an emergency but both times I've pulled it out to run, the little battery was dead. Not sure if its just bad, or needs to stay on a trickle charger all the time, haven't had time to diagnose/figure it out yet. In my opinion this is the biggest downside to this model, but the positives outweigh.

you would put the generator wherever you want it to go and put a receptacle right nearby. that receptacle runs to your electric panel. that is where the interlock kit is installed. it gives you the option of running your panel from the grid OR from the generator, but not both together, when power goes just do the following:- flip the interlock kit to generator
- turn off all circuits
- start your generator
- power on circuits you need
- everything in your panel is now energized (Built in appliances, recessed lighting, utilities like heat, or etc.).
the only very small downside is you don't know exactly when power comes back on (We look at our neighbors house to see if they have lights on). when it comes back on. shut off the generator and flip the interlock kit back to the grid.it is so easy and convenient, i can't see why you would do it any other way.
