One way you can fix this problem, is to buy a small UPS for the power sensitive device. Years ago before I retired, when I was working, I used an alarm clock radio CD to wake up. It was a nice clock radio CD, but had no battery backup, and was sensitive to short power outages. So, I plugged the clock radio CD onto a small UPS unit, and that permanently fixed the problem.

Having a few UPS units around the house will prevent power sensitive things from having problems. That will cover the small electrical outages, before your whole house electric generator automatically starts. If you don’t have a whole house electric generator, then the UPS will keep the device working from about 20 minutes to many hours, depending on the capacity of the UPS and the load of the device.
