New to powerstations and need suggestions
So i moved to a hurricane prone area. Been through 3 hurricanes in 4 years. Every time the power goes out, its the middle of the night and raining buckets of water so i cannot set up my gas generator. Its usually 12 to 18 hours before i can get my gas generator running.
I dont want to run a lot but i keep coming up with different recommendations for what i need and how much power i need. I currently have a 7000 running watt open frame inverter generator which runs everything but i run it 4 hours then off for 4 hours and honestly it gets tiring doing that all day and night.
I want to run my refrigerator - it has an ice maker and water dispenser in it, my chest freezer, charge 2 cell phones, run a radio and possibly a fan but i have a few battery operated fans so this is optional.
I have been looking at the:
Pecron 3600 for $1100
Pecron 3800 for $1300
Jackery Homepower 3000 for $1200
Bluetti Elite 300 for $1200
Bluetti Elite 400 for $1400
Anker Solex F 3000 for $1300
I was wondering if anyone could recommend one of these or another power station for my needs?
Thank you for your advice and thoughts!
