Mine needs to be started once a month and the oil changed every year. I think I can handle that :-)
It would have cost twice as much to run everything with the generator, and that isn't really necessary, so it's a smaller one.
I worried about the battery being dead and no way to hand crank the generator, so I made sure that the generator could be started from a car battery or one of those zap-o-matic car jumpstarters. (I bought one of those last year, and had occasion to try it out on my stone dead car battery last month - it worked great!)
