That said, I've had a pulsar inverter generator like this one for over a decade now and it's saved us through multiple ice storms, hurricanes and other lengthy periods of power outage. Most recently hurricane Helene. In what has to be 500+ hours of use, I never replaced the spark plug or even cleaned it until recently and only ever changed the oil twice. Very impressed with their generators.
The one I used was very loud, but I was able to connect our fridge, space heater and lamp to it.

To keep your electronics charged get a battery power station. For higher wattage loads this is better.
Are pulsars reliable? I've been looking nonstop on FB marketplace for used RYOBI 4000/2300 and even predator 3500/5000 units.

Gen & battery. They haves pro & cons as someone already pointed out above. Gen need more maintenance like, changing sparks, oil change, not often though, only when using, and stocking gas.
For the batteries, how to recharge when you used up all the juice? And they can only use with lower watts loads unless you get bigger batteries but then the cost would be alot. I have two 2000w inverter gens and small battery for emergency. The battery I can recharge when using the gens. I also am stocking 10 gal of gas and rotate out every 6 months.
I live in S.Cal too. Good luck to you.
