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.

Still in route, should be here next week.

But double check the kit fits. I only spent a second looking it up.
Note running on propane gives off a couple hundred less wattage. Natural gas another 100 less.
If you get the propane one you would only need a natural gas regulator then pipe to the carb.
There is a small chance the venturi adapter might push out the carb and air filter enough that the frame is in the way and needs modified. Just an FYI. Wouldn't be the case with a dual Fuel because the carb wouldn't need the venturi adapter.
Is say its actually harder for ac motors to start on square wave.

Back in the original box in the garage with the gas emptied, and oil changed, ready in case we ever need it again.
I did run my laptop and TV with it too with a high quality surge protector, along with charging phones, running the fridge, coffee maker, etc...
Worked out well for us, except for the noise, but I did construct a simple / cheap / light enclosure out of foamboard and 2x2, and that did help.
