This cheap little generator works so amazingly well. We have sent ours to hell and back - its been left out in the mud in the pasture for months, covered in snow, rained on, etc. I don't think we've ever changed the oil. It just keeps on running when we need it to operate the heaters for our pasture water troughs. It's small enough that its easy to carry around, and the engine is small enough that my wife can start it without complaining.
Absolutely love this generator. It works so well and is so cheap that I think it's probably the best value in generators around.

Tractor Supply's price is the best around right now; even with shipping (if needed) still super slick IMO.
Natural gas - the blower and ignitor - maybe - it would be close depending on the size and draw when it first starts
Electric - no, not even close.
NO! So here's how generators and HVAC goes - count about 500w for a normal fridge or chest freezer because they tend to be in that region HOWEVER count at least double in overhead for starting watt for electric motors just in case. Inversion generators are better for running electronics, conventional generators are better at running locomototive force type items (HVAC that gets cold uses compressors, very locomotive) but they are louder as well typically with gas models..
You may get 2 smaller or newer midsize chest freezers at once, they do not run 24/7 so if it were an EMERGENCY thing you could "timeslice" and toggle between units every 30 mins. Could even do such a task with heavy duty 3prong timers automatically. Would be fine for 3 chests if you do this, pay attention to how often they run in general and if you are willing to do the work or buy the timers it will be OK probably. The label on your unit will say watts or AMPS. at 120V you multiple 120 times amps and get watts, but it will take at least 50% to double that juice to turn it on so bear that in mind as you could either shut down or burn out a cheap generators electronics if you go too hard on it.

Newer ECM blower gas/oil possibly yes. But may have issues if furnace ramps all the way up... a 2000 could handle a 1990s style furnace OK and probly a fridge or freezer on top.
