At Last!!

Well done Mary. Your OH sounds like me.... I also had to be chivvied into purchase of a generator by my wife. ;-)

She'd taken notice when I pointed out that the central heating system would stop in event of a long term power cut.

We went for a key-start non-inverter model. This lets OH get it started if I'm away. Output from the Gen plugs into a wall mounted inverter system, which in turn to feed into the house.
