Default Emergency Generator Advice

I'm looking to buy an inverter generator for emergency power-out use at home. It would be used to power just a few essentials: upright freezer, modem, a light or two, maybe a fan. Not wanting to park a behemoth in the garage as well as not wanting to irritate the neighbors with some loud, exhaust-belching something-or-other that produces far more power than I need, I'm looking not to go overboard on this.

The unit I'm looking at is a compact model Westinghouse rated for 2,500 peak watts and 2,200 running watts.

Would that be sufficient to power what I've mentioned?
