Here in Ohio we get ice storms about every winter. These often lead to power outages. This generator is perfect for such occasions. I can run my fridge, a couple space heaters, TV, laptop and WiFi router at one time.
In the last month we have had two power outages and had the opportunity to put this generator to use both times. It worked very well. We were not sure how much load to put on it so I have no idea how much more it could have held, but did an excellent job of powering the house heater, refrigerator and lighting as well as supporting an extension cord to power out neighbors' appliances. The only down side is that it is loud.
