Default (OT) Generators & Computers?

I'm on the verge of buying a 2.8KVa or 3.0KVa Petrol Generator and was
wondering whether anyone had any experience with using these as a backup
in case the domestic supply fails? Forinstance, although I have the
computer plugged into a surge protection socket, are generators more
prone to spikes and the like?

I beleive that you can plug these directly into your ring main (switch
off the main incomer) and will effectively power up ALL the house
circuits. (Obviously if you turn on the water heater, cooker and
electric fire you're pushing your luck).

Any thoughts would be welcome

Many thanks
