Porter-Cable H1000IS-W 10,000-Watt 20 HP Portable Generator Review
I needed a generator for farm use that would also be big enough to power my home in Jackson, MS in the event of another weather disaster. I have a large home powered by two separate AC units, so required 10,000 watts minimum. Also, after conferring with over a dozen people who purchased different generators after Katrina, I knew it had to be powered by Honda.
None of local warehouse stores (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.) carried anything nearly big enough so my internet research focused on Honda-powered generators exclusively. This bad boy fits the bill perfectly. The folks at Amazon were very helpful and it arrived two days earlier than they said it would. No problems at all with setup and it runs like a dream. I've already used it to power a heavy duty stick welder and associated equipment in the deep backwoods. Beware, though -- it a very heavy piece of equipment which really requires a dedicated trailer.
