I installed a transfer switch to my panel and it powers my entire 1200sq foot house including all lights, gas furnace, fridge, tv's, computers, window AC, etc. The only thing this will struggle with is Central AC.
HIGHLY recommend this inverter generator

Alternatively, you can get the 8750 watt with electric start for $1020, again a great price for inverter technology -

if peak was over 10 or 11KW then maybe.
btw been looking for 230 volt inverter generators to start making it out.
nice to see them finally.
Generally electrical connectors are chosen such that it's physically impossible to connect a load that will overload the capacity of the circuit. So basically since the generator cannot support ~ 11kw (50A@220V) or even close to it, they will put the next lowest capacity plug on even though it's a big jump (not really a 40A plug at least non-commercially) down to ~ 6.6kW which is well below the peak value of the generator. I had an 5500/8250 peak generator I just sold that only had a 30A twistlock on it. My new 9/11kw has a 50A.
Just like how you could put 20A receptacles anywhere you had a 15A receptacle and circuit, and the breaker would still protect the circuit, but no electrician is going to install a 20A - most people would see the sideways prong, assume the circuit is rated for 20A, plug in and go. Again the breaker will protect the circuit, but it's bad form to do things like that.

I've used this for a few days straight this year during several power outages.
The power is clean enough for UPS devices to work without any issues.
Used the 220VAC for power my water well without issue. When I used too much power it shut off safely, it doesn't show the power used for each 110VAC leg, just the overall.
As far as being quieter, it is slightly quieter than older models.

Not inverter, but the absolute cheapest per watt I have found for a dual fuel gen.
Just check that web page every day until it comes back in stock.
