Both
Amazon [amazon.com] and
Walmart [walmart.com] have the "same" 2000W dual fuel inverter generator for about $445. You can use your BBQ propane tank instead of gasoline as a fuel source. Propane is easier to store and less maintenance when compared to gasoline.
Yes, this should power most modern refrigerator and more. Yes this is inverter-based unit so it can throttle down when the load is not high and be less loud. No, don't plug this into your house and back feed it and potentially kill someone. Don't even think about powering your 3 to 5 tons air conditioning unit. This is not what this unit is for. This is one of the lightest (~40lb dry weight) and quieter (53db) generator available.

On propane, I can run a normal refrigerator/freezer and a 5k BTU window unit. With various other electronics. Normally get around 12h on a 20lb tank.

I believe everything else is the same.
Bought it to run the fan on my wood burning stove insert through the night if power is out. Those things light up like Christmas if the fan goes out.

Champion Power Equipment 2000-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator

I evacuated to Alabama. Bought a big, 8750 starting watt, inverter generator from Harbor Freight but it's open frame (loud) and gas only. I can buy an after market propane conversion but don't think I'll bother. This is a great deal but can't bring myself to buy a second generator when I've already spent a ton of money in the last week prepping to go back.
I place the order because it had a deal for $88 a month for 5 months. With a payment of 133 at shipment which is September 17th. But I might cancel alot of reviews of it being hard to start on propane giving me 2nd thoughts.
