I have a 5KW generator sitting in the garage for emergencies. Used it only twice in 4 years due to power outages, and was glad I had it. I take it out about 4 times a year, start it up and use it to run the electric lawn mower and weed eater just to give it a little run time and keep things fresh. 9KW may be a little large for your needs here but your neighbors may also appreciate being able to keep the refrigerator running and the lights on.
Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
