- Generator. Worked very well. I have a fairly small one (5500 I think) but it did what I needed it to. Ran 2 refrigerator/freezers, enough to keep things frozen/cold, enough lights for at night, small window AC that I put in my living room window and the washer (I'd unplug one of the fridges when I washed just to be on the safe side) and a couple of small fans.

Same size as we had (although it was my neighbor that lent it to us) but we ran the same two fridges and one A/C unit and several fans...at certain times I would turn on my TV and directv and watch for a bit...also took some Christmas lights out the attic and plugged in three or four strands to give light in the kitchen and living room (worked well and used up very little energy)
