Kai, after Harvey I bought as Champion 3400 watt duel fuel invertor generator, I've used it a few times, last time was the Great Freeze in 2021. Was without power for 3 days, it kept my phones charged, refrigerators cold, computer and TV on, gas furnace to heat the house, and as needed, coffeemaker, microwave, etc. Not all at the same time, it will not run my central A/C system or the whole house. But it wasn't that expensive and I don't need backup power that often.

It's Chinese made, but it has not given me any issues, I run it once a month to keep it routine.

I went with the invertor type for fuel economy and the "clean" sin wave output for my electronics, plus they are able to "idle" when the power demand is low so they manage fuel better. And it runs off propane and gasoline, so I can easily store propane for long periods of time, if I can't get gasoline.
