I have owned this for a couple of years, although it does more than some light LED's, it does fall way short of the 1000w/800w it's rated at. Mine will error out and die at about 700w output.

It will charge my Ecoflow River 2 max at the full 600w and it will run my 5000BTU window AC in the bedroom along with a small fan and led light.

Its extremely quiet (think gas powered weed eater) and very good on gas. It has it's uses that's for sure.

This is a good deal, I already have two or I'd buy this one. 🤷🏼 ♂️
I used one to run my refrigerator after a hurricane and it worked fine

To me, these are great for little "one-off" issues you may have to relieve your bigger generator of the trouble. For example, I have chickens and during the coldest months I need access to something that will keep a ceramic bulb going for my warmer-natured birds. These are also great if you're heading to the woods or a remote location to build something with a small air compressor/power tools. Definitely not for bigger items but I would highly suggest investing in at least 5,000 running watts and a quiet box to store it in if you plan on running a house/garage with a generator. Ideally more.

Note that this seems to be the lower model without parallel cable port. For generator of this size, it has really limited application particularly without the parallel option. You can probably make a suicide cable for that. For information only, the model below has parallel connection.

This was posted before a couple of days. Issue is 600w running can be only sufficient for led lights.
Hopefully that's a typo or you're trying to be funny.

Normal price of $369 is ridiculous. I picked up one of these a few years back. Like most of these ethanol is a killer. I had to replace some fuel lines once already. Again, like most of these less expensive models, a few oil changes are mandatory during a break in period. You'd be surprised as to the amount of metal particles in the oil.
Despite these issues, it is quiet and does what I need it to do.

Is this good enough to run a chest freezer and/or fridge during a blackout? If not, can someone recommend one in the under $400 range? TIA

This makes me wonder why the heck the one you are suggesting is $299 and one on deal is originally priced at $369?

Inverter versions inheritantly cost more than non-inverters.

Mine runs a large fridge with ease, but the chest freezer might be too much.
