It depends on the power demand of your home. If the power demand is less than 1000watt then buy the one that can produce 1000watt but there is a probability that your power consumption may increase with time and if it does the 1000watt generator will no longer be useful, in this case I advice you to take the 3000watt generator if you have the resources (cash).

It depends on the power demand of the loads in your house. If the demand is less than 1000watt, I advice you to take the 1000wattbut there is a tendency for your power demand to increase and if it does, the 1000watt will not serve the demand. So in this case I advice you to take the 3000watt generator if you have the resources (Cash).

You might get by with the 1000W by plugging and unplugging appliances.

Honda is a top brand in generators. It is likely to have sufficient surge capacity to start motorized appliances such as a refrigerator.

My tests with a refrigerator showed that it had a 25% duty cycle.

The lower power generator will use less fuel. However if you try to overload it, its performance may start to degrade irrecoverably.

The higher power generator will use up fuel faster with an equal load as compared to the lower power generator.

Reasons you may prefere to get the 3000W model:

Do you have a well pump that requires more than 1000 W?

Does someone in your house absolutely need air conditioning on hot days?

Is there a chance a neighbor will come to your house with a long extension cord and say, 'May I power my refrigerator from your generator?'
