For this audience the single most important specification is backup power (generator). Kenya Power runs planned interruptions most weeks, published area by area on its outage schedule, and unplanned outages after heavy rain are routine in Nairobi. For anyone on video calls, running a business, or relying on a lift in a fifteen-storey block, a generator is not a luxury item — it is the difference between a working day and a lost one.
