We're still looking at getting a generator for the multi-day outages, since these battery-driven devices aren't really a good solution for larger high-drain appliances like refrigerators and freezers.

Same here. Still not sure what to buy on that front. Certainly an inverter generator big enough to power the fridge would be nice for multi-day outages, and enough juice to keep internet and laptops/iPads going, but I hear those things need maintenance, oil and the like. I need to read up on some to make sure it's $ well spent.
