What can it actually run?

Checked with the same math as our calculator: total running watts, plus the single largest motor surge on top. “Tight” means it technically fits but the load sits above 80% of rated output — fine briefly, not where you want to live.

• Fridge, Wi-Fi, and lights

  730 W running · 2,230 W peak
  ✗ too much
• Storm essentials (fridge, freezer, furnace fan, sump pump)

  3,080 W running · 4,670 W peak
  ✗ too much
• Essentials plus a 10,000 BTU window AC

  4,280 W running · 6,680 W peak
  ✗ too much
• Most of the house (well pump, central AC, laundry)

  13,680 W running · 35,930 W peak
  ✗ too much

The installer's take

This is the unit you see behind food trucks and race trailers for a reason: it starts on the first pull years later, idles down to a murmur, and the GXR120 engine is basically the industry's reliability reference. You pay roughly double a comparable-wattage import for that. No 30A RV outlet, so RV owners need a parallel kit or an adapter for smaller rigs.
