no 50A on this model unfortunately
even though this model has a 50A connector, max output is 32A
3bed 2 bath house all led lights,3ton a/c with a soft start, 1fridge, 2 tv's, 2 pc's plus several other electronic gadgets. Natural gas for heating, cooktop and water heater.
60 percent of capacity according to the display on generator,
In Houston Tx I paid $300 for a plumber to run a T off my bbq outlet, and $600 for the electrician for the ac part of it.
Easy to setup and deal with oil stuff.
I ran it for 5 hours to start it up. Purchased a magnetic dipstick off Amazon and it caught a lot of metal.
I went all in with this thing. Got the storage cover, the gentent from champion themselves. A battery maintainer. 50a cord to my house. do yourself a favor, get the $20 battery maintainer from harbor freight.
The $10 one works but the $20 comes with the correct sae lead wire to just plug it into the generator. I had to cobble something together with the clamp version.
I had this thing running:
All lights
All internet devices - of which I have a lot of UniFi gear
2 fridges - 30cubic Samsung and 10cubic magic chef garage. Both actually only draw 60-80watts running. I know hard to believe but I measured them
2.0 Ton ac in stage 1. Soft start put the amp draw at startup around 20. 6amp running
Water heater in heat pump mode
Running all that out me at 1-2 bars.
Adding in a single range burner put me at 50%.
Adding in the microwave put me at 50%. (Not running at the same time as burner).
I think I'd probably get a cheap ozark trail butane stove to use instead of electric range elements. And use grill.
Really happy with this unit. Stores fine in garage. Not the quietest but it's good on fuel so can't complain.
Glad I did all this before this storm informing in the Atlantic right now….
