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 emergency backup whatever fits wattage and gph you're planning for and can store everyday use yeah honda would obviously be the better pick, but for emergency use anything....they get used so rarely and may sit for years.
For general emergency use it's over kill (and i have a 8000w/7500 champion 240v inverter...haven't used it in 2 years) i really only upgraded to that as i am in an ae hurricane flood zone and do get flooded in and want to be able to extend range of my fuel storage. Most floridians buy em cheap, loud and stick em on a shelf and that's appropriate for most cases. Really depends on your threats....if power lines are underground,etc i'm coastal and in last area i lived 25 years no outages more than brief...never bothered nor needed a genset, new area lines in air, outages strictly depend on the power company trimming branches and how bad the storm....but even then it's rare, i do often think i went overkill (as i have a backup inverter too) and that money would have been better staying in the market and funds...every dollar counts when compouding interest.
And right now I'm at almost 1k hours (940hrs) and it's 230kWh. So i expect it to be near 240kWh by the time I hit 1k hours. Which then I will reset and do another 30 day run but this time keep it at 72⁰f running 24/7.
added: what smart plug are you using. I had mine plugged into a TP link smart plug. it's a few years old now. but I've never had any issues with it tripping the switch or breaker. it's rated for 15A. so 1100w pull shouldn't be an issue.
edit: after turning off my AC for 10 minutes and back on to max cool 60f and eco mode off. my AC now ramps up to 1120w / 12A. I guess because I leave it in eco and auto set to 72⁰f and let it running all day and all night. it just keeps the room cool and uses less energy.
(after 10 minutes of turning it back on to full power, it's already starting to ramp down to 945w.
