The manual states "For power outages, permanently installed, stationary generators are better suited for providing backup power to your home. Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result in overheating or stressing the machine's components, possibly leading to generator failure." However there are many reviews on Amazon of people using it for home backup. It goes without saying that if everything connected to your transfer switch exceeds the generators capability then this is not for you.
Interestingly the Amazon page states: "The WEN 4000-Watt Inverter Generator is a great option for home backup power during outages. It produces clean power to safely operate sensitive electronics and appliances."

Any 240V load would not get power.
Any 120V load should function.
Any multiwire branch circuit would risk having an overloaded neutral.
This one looks to be the same price, free shipping, but a little higher wattage
