A GX160 will only take a 4KW head to about half output but I should be able to start any power tool or window A/C I want to.
The house in the vid must have some seriously large loads for a gen of that size, I seriously doubt it will ever be run at 60-80% capacity unless this house has an electric on-demand hot water system, either that or it is a pot grow house:-) (I have watched every episode so far of Showtime's show Weeds.)

@selec21 Understood. When i first looked for a backup generator years ago the first thing I looked at logically was a 24KVA unit to handle standard 100 amp service, then as time went on I learned about fuel usage and what is actually needed and for now have one of those Chicom 2 stroke 1KW gens which will run my natural gas furnace and some lights, and I plan to build my own gen around a Honda GX160 and an OLD Pincor 4KW 120/240v head.with a car flywheel for surge loads.

@abyssunderground I have a 17KW and I can only run my water heater, HVAC, Well pump, plugs, lights, and that's it. My oven is left in the dark as are electric heaters. the 48 KW can and will power all of that with out a hiccup.

I can only imagine how much fuel that thing would burn in a year just from its weekly exercise let alone if there ever were an extended outage.
