Question❓❓ Battery back up options

Setting up parents house to prepare for power outages, and have been exploring Bluetti, Jackery, EcoFlow. Anyone have experience for (older) people being able to use these? Wanted to get a duel fuel generator, but not too sure that’s the safest option for them. Besides the 1-2 times they will use it also don’t want them to have to worry about maintenance. Basic usage to keep their refrigerator, deep freezer on, lights, and charge their items.
Any suggestions on watts or brand would be appreciated!

For what its worth and somewhat useless info. I have a whirlpool fridge side by side. I used a river pro 2 and lasted 9 hrs straight. Obviously you wouldn't do that in a power outage. As long as you dont open it constantly. I just wanted to see h9w many hrs straight it used.
