Will The Honda EU2200i Power Both Your Fridge AND Freezer?

Today we will see if the Honda EU2200i, or any other small generator, can handle the starting watts for appliances. For a power outage I need to power both a full size refrigerator and a full size standup freezer. Today we will see if the generator can handle the starting watts for both appliances if they were to start up at the exact same time.

We have used this to power a full size fridge and freezer, a chest freezer, a mini fridge and all the lights and fans in our house for 36 hrs with no problems.

I am almost 2 weeks out from Beryl with no power until day 8. You answered so many questions in this video that I had during my 8 days. I too was experiencing start up wattage much less than the formulas (amps x volts) and I didn't understand that "the math" is not always the real result. It was frustrating not knowing. At one point I gave up and just ran fans and lights and then just before the power returned a portable a/c unit that was loaned to me. Great video that gave me better context for my next experience. I will be better prepared next time. Love your videos. Thank you.

Great explanation for those who immediately howl that "you can't run your house with an EU2200". Despite this, I'm sure somebody won't get it.

How'd you figure out the freezer LRA of 10.2 came out to be 1173 watts?
