- What can 6,500 watts run?
- It can run a fridge, furnace fan, lights and a well pump, or a few circuits through a transfer switch. It will not start a large central AC without a soft-start kit.
- Does it have electric start?
- No. It starts with a recoil pull cord only, so you need to choke it and pull firmly.
- Is it safe for electronics?
- It is a conventional generator, not an inverter, so power is not clean enough for sensitive electronics without a surge protector or UPS.
- How long does it run on a tank?
- About 10.5 hours at half load. Expect shorter run times under heavy load.
- Can it connect to my house?
- Yes, through its 120/240V 30A twist-lock outlet and a transfer switch installed by an electrician. It is not a standby unit and must be run outdoors.
