I've thought about one to run the fridge and a portable AC unit, but have not done it.
The reason is not the cost, $500 or less would get what I need, but I don't want to have to deal with the maintenance and gas storage that would be required. I had one up north, and used it for at least a day each year. We were on a well, and I needed to keep the heat running in the winter. Had a basement with sump pumps. Made sense up there. Makes less sense down here.
I have an outlet built into one car that would help in a pinch. I also have a lithium ion golf cart with USB outlets that would keep my phones/other items charged for weeks. We have natural gas, so no problem cooking or heating up water. And we have never lost power. I would like to figure out how to put a convenience outlet on the golf cart.
So I don't do it.
