If cost is a concern, get a 2000 watt Honda for about $1000. Small, very quiet, and able to run your refrigerator, charge your cell phone, and give you lights at night. No, it won't run your whole house all at once, but it will keep you going with the essentials. You can run it all night on a gallon of gas or less. These are the small red generators that most of the vendors use on "Market Night". Extremely quiet and efficient, although "expensive" per watt.
