Thanks in advance for the input.

Five years between 4666A and 44 on SECO, I think we've lost power twice: one for a couple of hours and one for just less than an hour. Your experience might be different in other areas or on another power company.
I really want to buy one of those cute Honda 2200 units but with my experience over the last five years I just can't justify it to myself.
What I do have is a small uninterruptible power supply (UPS) powering my modem/router and smart-home hub. Between that and my laptop battery I have never lost internet connection which means I've never lost streaming capabilities. It might even run the television but I've never gotten around to trying it.
