Appears to be an all-time low price after coupon. This is a hard to find 240 Volt inverter generator with a large 301 cc engine comparable to the Wen GB685i which sells for $685.
Well pump, water heater, range capable. No frills Gasoline only pull start increases reliability. IME the 301 cc engine starts easily with one or two light tugs. Less effort than lifting the fuel can.

a few particular appliances at the same time. (like an electric oven or electric dryer - gas units are OK to run)
It's one of the smallest inverter generators on PG&E's free power transfer switch [pge.com] list if your home qualifies in California.
This free switch program includes installation by PG&E, and is valued at well over $1000.
My house did qualify. See the photos.

EDIT: Update, found a newer spreadsheet of the qualified generator rebate list, this Champion 100519 is on the newer list - which makes sense, as it's on the compatible list for the power transfer switch.
Now the dilemma, which is more practical for the power transfer switch for frequent short power outages, the Wen DF475T, which is dual-fuel (propane) but NOT inverter type, or this Champion 100519, which is quiet inverter type, but NOT dual-fuel (at least not out of the box)? Both around $500

If you google around using the official name of the program in my just-prior comment on this thread, you'll be able to find both the application/agreement form and the official e-mail address for the program. Doesn't hurt to just trying sending it in....
EDIT: You do have to make sure to verify that you're in an eligible Tier 2/3 High Fire Threat area, or an adjacent EPSS-area, to qualify...
