Everything you own is something you need to maintain and service. Scaling back on stuff can give a real sense of freedom.
On the other hand the Dual Fuel Inverter Generator (Propane/Petrol) I got in the basement gives me sense of security.
I only run it on propane, so when I get the BBQ grill out in spring and burn that one I do the generator too. The “clean” parts of the schedule are a lot simpler if you don’t run it on petrol.

So, did you do the monthly maintenance on the generator? Do you run it for 10 or 15 minutes every month to be sure it starts and runs?
Luckily my tiny 2000W require annual and not monthly maintenance. :)

That maybe worse to remember and harder to make a habit to do.
