I got too many generators but im in for one for my moms place, easier to set this up to run a window unit, then if it's gonna be a big one i have bigger inverters as well.
but in all seriousness it like like an 1800w running unit. and will do 9 hours @ 450w.
a 12k btu midea u shaped ac runs about 450 to 500w when going full speed. so you'll be able to get a whole days worth of ac for 1 gal of fuel.
most likely even more as the AC uses an inverter and can ramp down to 100w.
just looking into it for my use case and thought I'd post my findings
someone posted on the next page that their midea u shaped pull 1100w.
I have a kill a watt meter and I've used the AC for 940 hrs I've used 230kWh.
after 30 days (720hrs) I've only used 168kWh.
it drops down to below 100w when on eco mode. and I've only ever seen it go up to 550w or so when dropping the temp to 68⁰ when it's 90⁰ outside
I guess take the information and it should give a decent example of what to expect 🤷
added: after testing out other devices connect to my kill a watt meter. and turning off the AC unit for 10 minutes while I tested the meter. I found my AC unit will ramp up to 1120w / 12A when first turned on but then after 10 to 15 minutes it ramped down to 945w. so everything is working out correctly. I think because I run it 24/7 in Eco and Auto mode it doesn't need to go full tilt to keep the room cool to 72⁰f.
so yes the AC will pull over 1100w but will ramp down shortly after depending on how hot your room is and how insulated it is.
so probably expected your AC to pull more energy than mine.
either way this generator will be able to run an inverter window AC without issues if the running wattage is 1800w. you will just need more fuel and to refill sooner rather than 9 hours. and if you have an inverter AC then there shouldn't be that initial Amperage spike when first turning on.
hope all of this helps you 👍

Two new Midea 12k BTU units. Both start at 500-600 watts ramps up to 1100-1200 usually then as needed it adjusts.
Since that is in line with what everyone else has been saying around 1100 I would say time for a replacement kill a watt meter or you aren't getting 12k btu out of your AC.
In the mean time I'll go see what the electric meter says when it's running.
But it keeps the room perfectly chill. It would suck to have to replace it because it's not giving full power.
Thanks for the info.
They are open frame and noisy, but not noisy like a non-invertor generator.
Yeah i wouldn't run on the balcony. Your minimal use case would actually fit one of the battery inverters (although super expensive for what little storage they provide)...but if you could schedule like i mention above they would be reasonable although expensive for your case.

I have nothing against Ecoflow, but in this case, just call it a battery...
So, a small quiet efficient generator running 4 hours to cover the house for 24 hours. And that is after i run my ev car battery low since it has 72kw of power I can charge the pro ultra with using a dc step up converter plugged into the solar input... and assuming the 800watt of solar panels cant keep up.
Meanwhile all the neighbors have giant generators because they need 240v and 5500 watts to handle their well pumps.

1700W / 120V = 14.167A. So not a guarantee of 15A with this specific test, but close...

And I was hitting on point where low medium and high were. Then I turned off my AC for a bit while I tested the kill a watt meter. And once I plugged it back in and set it to max cool, 60⁰f, and eco mode off. It has now ramped up to 12A /1130w.
So now I know it's neither the AC or the kill a watt meter.
And I'm thinking because the room never gets above 74⁰f, as I keep it set to 72⁰f all day and night... it doesn't need to ramp up the compressor to cool the room down. Especially since I always have it set in eco mode.
The house is very well insulated and with black out curtains(makes a bigger difference over blinds, and I still get some light as the curtains
are set 1.5in away from the wall.)
So maybe on ramp up it will run at 1100w when first getting started but after it's been running for awhile it goes down to 450w to 600w for me.
But repped 👍 for giving feedback. After checking everything out I know things are working out OK.
