RYOBI 6500 Watt Generator | Can it power my WHOLE house? | 2022/001

I needed a bigger generator. Power outages are a regular occurrence for our neighborhood. with out power lines still up on poles, when the wind blows, or a pole is knocked over, we lose power regularly.

I have a small 1600W generator that is good for keeping the refrigerator running and provided for some limited lighting, but I am ready for a whole house solution.

After hiring an electrician to pull the permits and come to my home, he installed a generator lockout.  Next, with his advice and reviewing my electrical usage, I found that a 6500W generator is more than enough to power up all the circuits in my home.

I purchased the Ryobi 6500 RY9065001VNM Portable Generator, and it works like a champ! Easy to start, the sound is manageable, and it handled the electrical load on my house with ease!

The electrician and the new generator were about $1,000 total. But for a piece of mind, it's worth it!
