I do not own one but generators are now very common. I just decided I did not want yet another item to maintain. We have wood heat and alladin lamps for power outages. They seldom occur here now. Thirty years ago I remember outages lasting two to three days. A person should probably keep one car fuelled up any times of the year outages might occur.
