Dayo, this isn't for you. Responding to the author of this video.
One more thing, no one should flip all of the loads onto the generator at one time. Most items have a surge load. You see how the generator struggled big time? Even with a large generator, you should flip one circuit at a time to the generator. And again, 3500 continues watts isn't going to power much. It will not run the average household.

Forget running an electric cooktop with a portable generator. Either use gas or if you're like me and have an electric cooktop, use an induction hotplate if you lose power. Our electric double oven is 40 amps. Clearly not going to run on this guy. I have a 6800 watt ridgid and even that can't run my oven. Good thing my microwave has an oven feature on it.
You can probably run your well pump, fridge, freezer, boiler with this generator and maybe 500 watts worth of lights. That's it!

I agree with you. A generator isn't magic. It will put out as much power as it's rated to put out and nothing more. While you can survive with 4400 watts, you won't be running your whole house. In my case:
600 watt freezer
600 watt refrigerator
1700 watt microwave
1000 watt well pump (we have well water)
840 watt boiler
300 watt 51" T.V. (sucker's really efficient)
400 watts worth of light throughout the house
=5440 watts
The 4400E is 4400 SURGE watts (3500 continuous) and is only 20 amps.

Did your Utility company install the exteral transfer switch? If yes, what was the cost?

Don't electrocute yourselves.

would recommend an inverter series generator such as the honda 6500i designed for sensitive electronics, I would not run my PCs and plasma TV off an industrial $600 generator, I have had one of those and the power is not clean; and your 4000 watt is underpowered to run fridge, stove, furnace etc... You will not be able to run AC in the summer no matter what, but no big deal. If the fridge was to kick on with the furnace and microwave, all the startup load would blow your generator breaker.

I'm impressed that a 4400 watt generator did as well as it did, nice!!
You guys should take a trip to Jersey, after the hurricane you guys would have work for months.I'mIm getting a generator soon enough.

Trying to run your microwave oven without anything in it is stupid unless you are tryimg to break it. LOL!!!
Also how wonderful are you going to think your portable generator is when you run out of fuel?. LOL

A little skeptical here. The generator will only run as much as it will put out. No evidence the stove/oven was "running", nor the fridge or freezer. You have to tally what you use. Elec. stove 2000W Gas furnace 750W Elec Water heater 3800W - These 3 things would pop that generator in an instant. What should tip any one off is " E m e r g a c y " in red felt tip pen on the standard manual transfer switch. Do a calculation before you "thimk" it will run your whole house.
