than a few hours. Other than quick glitches during lightning storms,
we have only had 2 or 3 outages in total over those 20 years. I'll
keep my eye out for a higher power inverter and plan to use it in the
kitchen rather than at the breaker box for "next time".

I have had very few power outages, but did buy a dual fuel generator.
By only using propane it can sit there for years and be ready to go for
half an hour or days if needed, then shut off and not have to mess with
it to the next time. Propane will not go bad and nothing left in the
engine like it would if gas. Caught one on sale that is about 3.5 to 4
KW for only $ 350 including shipping.

It is batery or pull start, so I do check the charge of the battery
every few months.
