So, right now it seems like this unit and the Wen 56380i generator $649.99 that is also on sale. Which should I get and why? I plan to just use gas. I know the Wen is lighter and quieter (plus pluses) but any other reasons to get the Wen? Also, other than a good extension cords, what accessories would I need? Thanks!
Thanks for posting my thoughts, literally on the same questions and experiences with power losses. I know this, I need to get a line to my panel direct plug this on and switch on what I need (transfer switch?)
Don't be like me, buy one before you need it. Don't wait until your power goes out because they will probably already be sold out.
Edit: forgot to add, I do not recommend using this or any other generator to power sensitive electronics like TV's or computers. Generators don't produce a clean steady power supply. There will be surges and fluctuations which can fry sensitive circuits. If you are looking to power sensitive electronics like that buy an Inverter generator.

The Wen model you mention won't supply the wattage to run all you listed, so you need to go with the Firman since you list the Wen and this Firman unit to choose between. You need to add up all your wattage requirements focusing on starting watts
Is this "up to code"? Absolutely not. Do I recommend you try this yourself with little knowledge? Not at all. But what it's freezing outside, you are about to run out of firewood and have a family to keep warm you gotta do what you gotta do.
