💰 What your budget actually buys
Every tier below is a coherent plan, not a compromise — the budget layer is where safety lives, and the mid-range tier is where the refrigerator gets saved. We show a ballpark tier rather than a price: $ is budget, $$ mid-range, $$$ premium, set from the listing on 2026-08-15. Amazon's price at checkout is the price. Paid Amazon links throughout (disclosure).
$ — Budget layer
Safety and communications first, plus the smallest batteries: a CO alarm, a lantern per room, a weather radio, a car inverter, a compact power station or 12V fridge. An entry station in this tier runs phones, the router, a fan and a CPAP through one night — it will not run a full-size refrigerator. If a storm is close and money is tight, buy here first; the big batteries come later.
$$ — Mid-range
The 1kWh and 2kWh class lives here, along with dual-fuel inverter generators, portable AC and expansion batteries. This is the fridge tier: roughly 14–20 hours of refrigerator runtime from a 1kWh unit, a full day from a 2kWh one, and the best value per watt-hour on the market. It is the tier most Florida households should actually buy.

Value math: divide any deal price by capacity in watt-hours before believing a percent-off claim — cost per watt-hour is the only number that compares two stations fairly. How we pick is on the methodology page; browse bycapacity or scenario instead.
