Power station vs gas generator for emergencies?

Question

Accepted Answer

Power stations are silent, produce no CO (safe indoors), need no fuel, and require zero maintenance. Gas generators are cheaper per watt-hour and run indefinitely with fuel. For 24-48 hour outages, a power station is ideal. For extended multi-day outages, a gas generator or solar-equipped power station is better.
