Shopping for a generator

I am looking at a generator. Needs to have clean sine. I want to be able to run my pellet stove, my bipap machine, tv. Should be electric start. I know Honda has a good reputation, but that is out of my price range. Looking at something like this: http://t.homedepot.com/p/Generac-GP...Generator-with-Generator-Cord-6515/204330692/. Confused!

 

No access to natural gas. Thanks

 

What is your budget?

 

About $800

 

I would forgo the electric start.....those are usually on much larger generators than what you need. I would go for the Champion 3100 watt inverter around $800 or the smaller 2000 for like $500.

The Generac XP series I believe is the only non inverter that is under 5% that Generac sells

Champion sells a small 3500 watt electric start conventional generator for around $500

I normally would run a regular generator without worry...however, in this case the OP wants to run a CPAP of the genny. My only recomemdation would be an inverter generator through a "pure" sine wave UPS, the UPS would be needed in the event the genny ran out if gas it would switch to battery without damaging the CPAP. A new machine is thousands of dollars......

 

It's a mask worn while sleeping for sleep apnea Ray

 

For those of us with Sleep Apnea. Basically a mask that forces air into you while you sleep. Your throat muscles relax, causing snoring and lack of oxygen.

 

I've got this one Save. Mine isn't the electric start model but it's been pretty reliable so far.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am taking a hard look at them. The pellet stove is just as sensitive as the cpap. Need pure sine wave. The one I saw at HD had that capacity, but was not electric start. With my arthritis, I find any repetitious pulling very painful. I found one affordable unit that had a remote start, but it didn't say it was ok for electronics. I found they will say that when they are ok for them.
