decent price these days and wattage is workable. Your deep freezer or fridge doesn't need runing 24 hours. Buy this and a fridge freeze alarm, you'll only need to run for an hour every 6-8 hours if that. Rest of your wattage can run a midea or other ac (inverter preferably so it can ramp down). Keeps you in that 25% load and if on an all electric home , just buy led lanterns you have a grill (or get a small camping lp stove). recharge lanterns devices,etc when getting the fridge freezers back to temp. Good to buy rechargale stuff when you have these ....fans, lanterns,etc they all last until you gotta run it for the fridge. really no need for extended run times.

I got too many generators but im in for one for my moms place, easier to set this up to run a window unit, then if it's gonna be a big one i have bigger inverters as well.

I was looking to see if it can charge my EV. 😄 🤣

but in all seriousness it like like an 1800w running unit. and will do 9 hours @ 450w.
a 12k btu midea u shaped ac runs about 450 to 500w when going full speed. so you'll be able to get a whole days worth of ac for 1 gal of fuel.
most likely even more as the AC uses an inverter and can ramp down to 100w.
just looking into it for my use case and thought I'd post my findings

someone posted on the next page that their midea u shaped pull 1100w.
I have a kill a watt meter and I've used the AC for 940 hrs I've used 230kWh.
after 30 days (720hrs) I've only used 168kWh.
it drops down to below 100w when on eco mode. and I've only ever seen it go up to 550w or so when dropping the temp to 68⁰ when it's 90⁰ outside

I guess take the information and it should give a decent example of what to expect 🤷

added: after testing out other devices connect to my kill a watt meter. and turning off the AC unit for 10 minutes while I tested the meter. I found my AC unit will ramp up to 1120w / 12A when first turned on but then after 10 to 15 minutes it ramped down to 945w. so everything is working out correctly. I think because I run it 24/7 in Eco and Auto mode it doesn't need to go full tilt to keep the room cool to 72⁰f.
so yes the AC will pull over 1100w but will ramp down shortly after depending on how hot your room is and how insulated it is.
so probably expected your AC to pull more energy than mine.

either way this generator will be able to run an inverter window AC without issues if the running wattage is 1800w. you will just need more fuel and to refill sooner rather than 9 hours. and if you have an inverter AC then there shouldn't be that initial Amperage spike when first turning on.
hope all of this helps you 👍

Would be good to charge a solar inverter like the EcoFlow.

Gas generator...would be good...to charge...a solar inverter... 🤣

I have nothing against Ecoflow, but in this case, just call it a battery...

Last time I used this brand(I believe it was 2000w) it would trip when a ran a 1000w microwave...I'm sure I had a few other small things running but I've never had issues with Honda, wen, champion, or firman rated at the same wattage. This was a few years ago and I'm not saying these aren't any better now but that was my experience.

Remove the CO sensor if you buy any inv gen or generator. Seems like a solid price given inflation the past 3 years. Dont know SC return policy. If they're lenient and its returnable to the store then that makes this deal even better.

I do not have any generators from this company, but I have a 3,200 PSI power washer with Kohler engine and it runs great. If you survey the reviews of not just this model, which is new, but others, they seem pretty good. But yeah, this is not a Honda... For this wattage capacity--plus being an inverter generator and not just a generator--I think it is a pretty decent deal at $280.

It is available in-store, too, but your store has to have stock, of course. I actually bought one of these a couple of weeks ago at the full $400 price. So I will go back on July 26 for a direct price adjustment (or return-rebuy if they can't do the former).

I paid either $200 or $250 for the aipower 2000w. I thought it was a good deal until it did not run close to its wattage rating. If it were me, I'd buy a refurb firman 2000 on ebay when they go on sale for $200. I recently bought the dual fuel firman 4000w for $350.

Mine is still in the box, but when I pull it out to break it in, I'll do some testing to see if it can hit its wattage rating or not. But no plans to do this imminently as I have a bunch of other priority stuff...

That'd be awesome because like I said, this is a completely different model and its been a few years. Things may have changed. If so, its a decent deal for 2300w

12k btu midea u shape uses over 1100w at full power. I have 3 of them installed right now from Costco. Tried using smart plug but it would shut off because it pulled more than 10amps.
