I'd say a 2000w gas generator might be better in an emergency. This will be drained in a mere few hours using any appliance.

Batteries are better in the short and long term environment, a generator is really only good in the medium term. In a short emergency you dont need to go through the effort of getting the generator set-up and going, and long term a solar panel+battery will outlast your gas supply by a huge margin. I use my 9500w generator maybe an hour a day just to get all the freezers/fridges back down to temp if needed and run the well, and I let my large ecoflow with solar panels handle the rest. If all I do is run the fridge and internet, the solar+battery setup will run indefinitely.

Most people don't know how long a "short term" emergency truly is. Could be hours, could be days. Everyone has different backup strategies. Mine is using a 2000w inverter generator + Ecoflow Delta 3 Plus. I can run my sump pump, furnace, fridges, networking gear and etc, while the battery charges with an efficient and quiet generator. This is opposed to running a behemoth generator that's loud and consumes a lot of energy and wastes it because it has no where to go.

Actually, most folks DO know, but you're making something of a category error. "Short term" is rarely an "emergency," and visa versa. For short term, batteries are superior, and most folks know what to expect (e.g. I know to expect 2-3h outages on average 5-6x/year). True emergencies (disasters, days-long outages) are rarely short-term. In those cases, even a 2k-watt generator is going to be lacking. Honestly, the best prep includes both, and this battery absolutely fills a role.

This would be good to keep your internet running for about 10 hours during an outage.

It doesn't have the switch over speed, like a UPS, to keep most electronics from at least blinking. Now the modem will reboot, and then you would be good to go, but you will be out a minute or so until the modem reboots and wifi starts back.

I have a Bluetti small unit, that acts like a UPS, for my camera hub so it stays online. Also have a few things plugged up, since it is between some livingroom furniture. Let's you charge phones and tablet while power is out.

I have 2 Ecoflow Delta 3s for the internet, surround sound and TV. Everything to keep watching TV, and keep wifi going during a short black out. Got another in the bedroom for it's TV and soundbar, plus to keep my computer and home server going.

Have a 10KW generator for long term things, but the battery stuff is nice for the house in short term needs. Could plug fridge and freezer to the big Delta 3s, but haven't needed to. Short outages happen all the time for me, especially during the summer with thunderstorms and tornadoes. Hadn't thought about the camera hub until the other day, but not having it backed up meant the security cameras weren't going, or storing anything.
