9k starting watts and ~5k running watts on NatGas
This is VERY tempting.
I haven't run this for several days as jchu14 did, only 1 day, but so far and very impressed. If you have a pair of larger A/C units, would probably have to manage which one is running (living space during the day, then turn off that breaker at night and switch on bedroom A/C).

For those that connect it into the house rather than powering a couple specific items, do you shut lots of other things off while it is connected?

This generator would not be sufficient to run both at the same time. You'll definitely want something with more power.
I have my generator go into my panel with an interlock. So everything is powered. I do manually flip off my electric stove, electric oven, and EV charger though. So my family doesn't accidently forget and turn one of those on.

One other question, with me having 2 full breaker boxes for my house. Can 1 generator even run both or would I need 2. I understand it would need to cover the max running watts either way but wasn't sure if it can be wired to 2 panels at once.

I can't imagine there's much more that can be run:
I was thinking that if I bought this and connected at the breaker:
I'm trying to find out if one of these is better for me than a higher-wattage, non-inverter, tri-fuel for $100/200 less.
4000w is a lot for a 3 ton AC. My 3 ton draws around 1900w running.
