If I never need it, so be it. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I wouldn’t want to be one hour without power, much less 1 day or 1 week.

That pretty much sums it up. After all, nobody buys car insurance because he plans on having an accident.
Generators are something that seems to hold their value pretty well. I paid something like $550.00 for my NexGen 2500 and could probably get at least that much if not more today if I sold it. Considering that, it certainly is not money wasted. Does anyone know of a reputable insurance that will refund you 50%, 75% or more of your premium paid if you never use it? I sure don't.
