I have a Generac XP8000E. I bought it about 12 years ago when there was a massive ice storm and I knew we would be out of power for days. I actually had to drive an hour away to find it. I use the unsafe method of using a male to male extension cord to bring the power into an outlet.
I need to be careful to shut off the main power and all of the breakers before feeding the power into the house. It works really well though. I takes care of about 75% of all my outlets. I have to run an extension cord to my basement freezer but other than that it powers almost everything. It has both electric and pull start.
