Preferably, if you don't want to damage electronics. Also, some insurance companies are excluding damage done by generators.

Apparently 48 out of 75 at Medupi?? Yet they are somehow sticking to stringent protocols? I would like to know how 2/3rds get sick

Same here, but I went out to buy alcohol and drugs just before 6am.... came home and I had to manually grind my coffee beans, light a fire and boil water and milk, and manually mix my coffee....
Wasn't so bad but I prefer electricity for the time saving.
Edit: My neighbour is playing horrendously loud 80's music and damn is it annoying outside,

Nope, but it is the cleanest modified sine wave I have ever come used. During loadshedding I hardly hear a thing from it, zero weird sounds from laptop, screen, tv, hifi etc. For the price I am very happy.
If you want pure sinewave because you're running motors like a fan or a fridge then I would suggest you cough up almost double for something like this.

Then this one will do the trick and it will handle the surge when your fridge switches on each time. These surges are typically around 1000 watts and then quickly settle at around 120 watts (depends on your fridge).
I would suggest getting the biggest battery as possible so that you are not depleting your battery much each time there is loadshedding. This way you will enjoy many many years of battery life and not have to replace it every 2 or 3 years as some people are experiencing
