great for emergencies
We own the older version of this generator. The only difference I see is the guage. Our guage is digital & shows voltage, hertz & hours of operation. After hurricane sandy took out our power we used ours to power the sump pump as needed & run the frig & freezer. This is only a 1200 watt continuous generator & will not run lights, frig, sump pump etc. all at the same time. Sump pump & a light - yes. Frig, freezer & maybe a light - yes. The initial surg of power for a sump pump can be 1500 watts. Freezers & refrigerators cycle off & on so are not loading the generator continuously. So yes, this generator can run everything you need, just not at the same time.
