Nice price on a great generator, been looking for the price to go down for some time now. My Sportsman 3000W generator died on me after 6 months and was looking for a smaller, quieter model to replace it. Two year warranty.

Note: same price on Amazon right now
Amazon also has the (better?) 2000/1700 watt version it's 9lbs lighter, higher wattage, slightly better on fuel consumption and slightly less expensive.
It takes about 1200 starting watts for a modern fridge so yeah it will but not much else.
I use the firman for my entire 2500 sqft house that is rated about the same as this one. Basically have to choose fridge, projector, or upstairs furnace but everything else is a cake walk. Hard to beat the fuel consumption on this size unit.
edit: this is on a transfer switch and running a jumped to power both sides of the panel. Everything that isn't split phase gets power. LED bulbs are your friends.
My experience with wen products have been so so in terms of quality. Not sure how long this will hold up. I would put this on par or worse than harbor freight type products.
I have this exact model. Currently in St Pete, Fl running my refrigerator, deep freezer, and some chargers. 18 hours run time so far and about 2 gallons used.

I hope you are staying safe.
I imagine that you can keep your food cold/frozen by running the fridge/freezer a couple hours a day (as long as you aren't opening it up too often).

How much gas do you have?
All good here. I've got 10 gallons and friends with power. I'm under the assumption power will return today/tomorrow. If not, you are correct I can cycle on/off to preserve. I've got a battery powered grill thermometer to monitor the fridge temp when it's off

I have always wondered what the actual differences are between these 2 models.
For a while WEN has had 2 different looking models in the same power class

Thanks I calculated my fridge at 600 running. Not sure what the starting is but I believe you're right

600 watts sounds high.
