You are right, I did mean the Delonghi.

I am from the old school where cars with automatic transmissions had warnings in their owners manuals to not idle without moving for more than fifteen minutes at a time. I never did find out the reason for that and if it is a matter of oil cooling via the tranny pump, then I stand corrected. If it is a matter of pressure being applied to the various mechanisms that make the tranny work, I would think that situation applies to todays cars also. I suppose the best one to answer that question is a transmission specialist that can give us the best information on todays transmissions.

Would a generator that uses .5 gal. per hour be necessary to run the Delonghi? I never did the wattage math on it.
