Put it in your garage, and … well, that’s all. When the electricity goes
off, you do NOTHING! Simply wait fifteen seconds and PRESTO! –
ElectroGen takes over. That’s right, ElectroGen begins providing
power for the vital circuits in your home within mere seconds of a
power outage – automatically. That old portable just doesn’t compare.

must be fueled frequently. To use it, you have to run extension cords
