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 👍

For plugging more than one AC (20AMP) items in are you first plugging in a strip into the generator?

The machine is rated for 1800W running and 2300W peak. If you plug on one 120V device that draws 15A, you will hit the running capacity of 1800W, i.e. 120V x 15A. If you want to use multiple devices on the 120V port, sure, you can plug in a power strip or similar.

If you believe me this far, how can one be more objective about noise levels without actually testing the machine with a sound level meter? Let's just use a database of machines with known values. So go to GeneratorBible.com and then click the "All Generators" tab at the top left. It should mention they have about 546 generators in their database (the number goes up and down by the day so it if is a little different when you check, no sweat). Now filter the "RUNNING WATTS" value to between 1600 and 2000W to find generators that are comparable to the A-iPower XOS2300i, which is rated for 1800W running. You should get back about 58 results, which is a decent number. Now sort the results by "Noise (Lowest)" (upper right). You'll see values go from 48 dB on the low end (for $1000+ Hondas) to 68 dB on the high end.
What is the noise rating on the A-iPower XOS2300i? According to the spec sheet, it is 52 dB--so just 4 dB louder than the $1000+ Hondas. Whatever the case, 52 dB is very much towards the low end of the 48-68 dB range of noise values for generators that have the same power output capacity.
This is about as objective as we can get at this point without actually using a dB meter to measure the generator in real life. Again, the issue is that consumer-level video cameras--especially those on a cell phone--do not really provide objective measures of sound levels because of auto-gain, noise cancellation, etc.
