I've never had one, probably should here on the farm.
Seems a lot of cheap 3-10,000 small gas powered units out there. I do _not_ like little gas engines sitting around in the back of the shed with the mice, only to be pulled out when emergency strikes.... And likely in minus 5 degrees like right now. Don't really ever have a power emergency in summer, cattle are on a gravity feed cistern for water, nothing that needs power here other than the furnace in winter to keep the house warm. Can do that with an extension corn through the basement window, just I don't like another little engine sitting around gelling up.
I don't need the big spendy standby type that are waitong all the time - my REA is pretty good, only have had less than an hour at a time outages for over a decade, power is - currently - very reliable here. As well my needs are modest - I understand your comments, just saying this whole farm ran on 60 amps, so I have very modest needs. No need for anything huge.
I kinda like the pto generators, no engine to go bad, I got 6 tractors sitting around with 560 ptoso I should get one to fire up for it.... Could use it a time or 2 in summer with air compressor or small welder out in the field to keep it used & running.
Are the new ones like Northern Tool worth anything, in today's world everything uses a computer chip which wants clean power, while anything for sale on a home-owner's budget seems to be worse & worse value.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
