I don't know if what just some bad karma/joojoo vibes but I tested it EVERY month to let it run for a bit and when we lost power 3 times that year, it would NOT start for anything. Pissed me off so bad I started looking at alternatives lol

A house down the street has one of those. After Hurricane Ike, power was out for half of my neighborhood for weeks. Every night, you'd see his house lit up like a Christmas tree with loud music playing with nothing but darkness around him. Way to rub it in, ****.

I was in the other half of the neighborhood that only lost power for 36 hours or so, so I tuned in to the same radio station as the guy down the street and turned it up.
