9k starting watts and ~5k running watts on NatGas
This is VERY tempting.

Just keep in mind while these are Inverter generators and advertised as quieter, they are still LOUD. Mine performs great but she screams.

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.

- 3 ton AC = ~4000w
- regular fridge/freezer = 1000w
- lights = 150w
- internet router/modem = 50w
I was thinking that if I bought this and connected at the breaker:- 2 ac units (small for BR, medium for living/dining/kitchen) = ~2000w
- kitchen (fridge; water kettle/microwave/electric skillet) = ~2000w (not constant)
- Entertainment (wifi/tv/ps5/laptop) = ~1000w
- Lights & small electronics/chargers = ~200w
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.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).

Estimated Running Watts:
3 Ton AC - 3kw
Fridge - 150w (450w while defrosting)
Lights - 200w total, all on LED
water cooler - 450w
TV and wifi etc - 500w
That adds up to about 4700 watt.
That's about all that was running consistently. I was also able to run either the microwave or my GE heat pump combeo washer dryer. I never tried to do both at the same time since I didn't think it would be able to keep up.
My lights do noticeably dim for a moment when the AC kicks on, but I've never had issues with appliances or electronics shutting off due to power surge.
I did all of my cooking with a butane camping stove.
Yes on NG.

To broader audience, is it possible to throw a muffler in-line to reduce the noise production?
What's the difference between the extra coverage from HD vs Amazon. If I'm reading correctly, Amazon's 4 yr is ~$100 less than HD's 3 yr. But I'm not sure if it's the same type of things covered.
Finally, approx how much am I going to pay to be able have this pump power directly into my box? Along the same lines, a plumber to get access to the NG? How much?

I had a plumber install a quick connect female on the house side. So to hook up the generator, I just have connect the male quick connect end of the hose to the house and female to the generator.
