The Honda and Yamaha are quieter. These sound a tic more metallic to me.
Depends on your fridge, and how much extension cord your running.
You can tune the carb for high altitude. It just won't give you full power output.
Depends on your sump. Many will run. If your situation is contingent on a pump running you should be running a battery backup sump in conjunction with your regular pump. This unit should work with both.
Lol, what has the world come to? Imagine the look on the face of the employee that actually had to enter this description. If only there was a more portable technology that would allow us to charge up our phones on the go.
Yeah this thing is woefully underpowered I don't know what they're really aiming for. Minimum 2.2kw dual inverter gen for me imo

Standard 1/3 hp sump pump 800 (Running) 1300-2900 (Starting). It should be written on the pump.
Take it as you want, but if you fill it up to the oil indicator on these, they'll smoke. It's a design flaw. I'm just trying to be helpful here, fam.
I did so to check & verify several things, one being the watt rating on the inverter module. Even the included manual listed the inverter module as only having a 700 watt limit rating (NOT 800 watts, nor 1000 watts). See attached pic for manual's 700 watt inverter module rating. (0.7kw = 700 watts)
I did numerous load tests upon running the generator and found it would only put out approx 675-685 watts before the engine cut out (stopped) due to "overload". All tests were done with stable 'resistance-type' loads.Therefore, the top wattage I could get out of this generator (as many others have also experienced) was 685 watts MAX.
I highly doubt that, as I've done extensive wattage testing with mine. (See above, also).
I believe these are a BIG YMMV, with many only putting out in the range of 600-700 watts, at best. Some may get lucky and get one that ends up putting out more, but I believe those are the exception, rather that the rule.
It may help that we run with eco off (we found that caused it to give out on sudden changes). If you want to do a part by part check, ours is nearly the same model, but with parallel ports. If you think it might be the inverter, perhaps they ship a different inverter on that model.
I wouldn't be surprised if they ship different parts even on the exact same model.

But you're not a moron and 'bentrinh' is correct.
It's a common problem with these units due to both a design flaw in the fill line AND the manufacturer printing the manual to say "Add xx ounces of oil (I recall it was about 3 ounces too much), while later adding a yellow tag to say add a lesser amount than what the manual states.My unit isn't right here, but I believe the difference was like 11 ounces vs a corrected 8 ounces. Those numbers are by memory, so they may be off a tad, but that little bit of excess oil made the problem fairly common.

I ran my tests with both a "Kill-a-Watt" unit (just to also test the Kill-a-Watt unit and see how accurate it was), as compared to a Fluke meter that I knew I could rely on for accurate load readings. Surprisingly, the Kill-a-Watt was only a little off from the Fluke meter. Almost negligible.
But in all tests, my unit could not break the 685 watt 'barrier' and that was with steady/stable resistive loads. Inductive-type loads (pumps, motors, fridge compressors, etc.) would create non-stable startup & load variances that wouldn't be anywhere as accurate, so I didn't even 'go there'.
I ran all tests with 'eco-mode' OFF.
I still find it hard to believe you got anywhere near 1,000 watts out of your unit. Was that tested with a quality/accurate meter? Anyhow, if you did get that, I consider it a very rare 'golden egg'.
