I have this generator and even when running on propane it will handle that load with no issue.
You may want to be careful running TV's and Computers on this generator. It is not a inverter so the power is not clean. I have never had an issue but it's just something to keep in mind. I ran two window units and alternated between a deep freeze and a fridge during Hurricane Ida for days with no issue.

I have this. It's loud as hell, and under load the voltage fluctuates. but it's cheap.
Alternatively, Firman sells refurbished inverter generators for the same price or less that are much, much quieter.

That said, this thing is 5 years old and still starts first pull. Pretty good for a copy of a copy engine.

Will this run a refrigerator, tv, and a floor standing fan at the same time or do I need something more powerful?

If that's all you need it for get a smaller inverter that's quieter and sips on fuel. My Fridge, fan and 65" Tv is under 1000 watts combined

Personally, I'd wait. Look at the history over champion generators over the last 2-3 months on SD. There have been champion inverters at or near this price with a 3 year warranty. Use your Amex and bump it to 4 years. Parts for this brand might be hard to come by in a few years.

Noise Level: 69dB @ 0% Load LMAO

This will destroy a refrigerator in no time. A refrigerator needs a pure sine wave to operate normally running an AC motor on a modified sine wave may lead to a buildup of excess waste heat that could damage the equipment

Bought this a few years ago. Sure it's loud, but it works great. Definitely useful in storms, RVs, etc.

Happy with my purchase - at a lower price, but that was right around the pandemic, so prior to everything becoming inflated.
