Guess I need to sit down and calculate what the minimum power options are. I have a few essentials I want to keep running......fridge, freezer, fan and controls for propane furnace, electronics for propane range. Anything after that is gravy.
So a portable unit I can plug in and play works OK for me. I don't need it to kick in within seconds. Someone with medical issues and unable to do much for themselves certainly would need it to auto fire, but I don't. If I was expecting an ice storm, I'd go get it ready....etc.
