I have a Briggs and Stratton model, and it works to keep the lights on during power outages, but you should be aware that these gas generators create a modified sine wave that damages electronics - like the ones in your refrigerator, your television, your radio, your air conditioner, your gas range, your $16 coffee maker, and the list goes on.

Correct. I ran a UPS for my house after gustov and the ups switched on and off every 3 seconds. The power was that 'dirty'

Fried 2 TV's and a window unit

I probably shouldn't say it, and might burn me next time I use it lol. My fridge electronics did fine on my generac portable gas unit. Didn't run TV. Only ran two fridges (one isn't electronic), small ac, phone chargers and stuff.
