As far as best for the money, I have 2 Champion 3500/4000 Watt units that cost around 350 to 400 bucks each.. They have a 240 plug as well as 120s and they are good on fuel. If you get a generator that is way bigger than you need, it will suck down the gas even if you don't draw much. The Champions I have can run at for nearly 12 hours on 4 gallons of gas if you keep the Wattage draw down. They will not run a 220 clothes drier, electric range, large AC, or heat pump system, but they will run a gas forced air furnace just fine. They mainly will run enough to get you through a tight spot and keep your food cold.. .
