We have multiple houses and portable generators at all of them, we went with this model as it had better features and electric start which we are happy with.
I bought this about a month ago. And all though I've only tested so far it not only handled the A/C but I flipped the hot water heated and it took on like it was nothing. I wouldn't suggest running the two together but it was great to see it could handle the load. I'm waiting for the power to go out to give it a real test.
