I bought the dual fuel version of this a couple of years ago for my daughter. She used it last week for 36 hours to primarily run her refrigerator and freezer when storm damage caused an electrical shortage. Operated without hiccup only stopping to refill with gas.
I have two generators. One is a large portable that connects to the house and the other a small portable inverter. Both run our appliances with no problems. It is true that inverters have a cleaner output and are quieter. But they are priced at a premium and hence only make economic sense if you truly need those attributes. On our non-inverter generator, we have operated refrigerators, TVs, well pump, computers, window air conditioners, fans, and many other things. I may be tempting fate here but we have never had a single instance where the non-inverted electricity killed or even damaged anything. As others will point out, you're unlikely to find an inverter version at this price. Expect to spend $150 more.

Would a frig work with this or do you need an inverter generator to get cleaner electricity?
Simple answers to your questions = Yes and no.

By the way, my daughter's refrigerator is a new fancy model. Less than a year old and cost about $2500. The generator had no harmful effect on it.
I have one, and it's great; but you should probably invest in a closed frame one instead if you're going to be running it with neighbors nearby (open frame ones generally sound like a lawnmower)
I would recommend a model that runs off propane for use as a backup generator. During storms gas stations can lose power. Gas can also gum up the carbonator so you have to remember to empty it out and/or use fuel stabilizer in it. Propane stores easier than gasoline. I now have a couple tanks on hand ready to go if I ever lose power without needing to go to a gas station first.

For conventional fridge, yes. For any smart appliance with microprocessor, you better use an inverter generator. To be honest, if it is for any expensive appliance, you should get an inverter generator. I used a 2200/1800W inverter generator during a 4 day power outage last week to run a fridge and freezer with propane. The low emission, low noise, and higher efficiency (1 tank for >20hr) definitely worth the $400 I paid.
