How much did you pay for it? I've been eyeing this generator for a while and just found it on ebay for $800 (including shipping):

For emergency preparedness only, I'd probably go with a cheaper (and louder) 3000 watt generator, but I want the option to take this camping if I decide to. What I'm worried about is the 2000 watts...do you think that's enough to power what you need in an emergency? (fridge/freezer, furnace, and what else?)

I paid about 870. Your link is for 990.

No, it's not enough to run everything, or even many things.

It's not powerful enough to run my fridge for example. But two of them in parallel would be.

If you read down in the ad, you get a partial refund in sixty days to make the total price 800. Where did you get yours?
