Mi hose is 3000 sq ft and just do te necessary in case of emergency , like the kitchen , one ac , and in the winter heat an 3 bed rooms and 1 bath .

No it does not. You likely have a 100 or 200 amp electric service and the generator has an output of about 30 amps. It should be able to handle your essential circuits though using an 8-10 circuit transfer panel

No it did not, the unit was professionally installed by a licensed electrician to provide power only to a few essential sources for a total wattage of less than 2.2 kW. Now I have a Generac CorePower 7kW and so far I am very satisfied with it as the construction is much sturdier and frankly of much higher quality (i.e., easier to open/close, better electronics) than my old B&S.;

No, it will operate a few rooms (fridge, lights, TV, freezer, computers). No central A/c or heat unit but can run window A/C, less likely to run washer/dryer because of heat, or electric, etc. because by now, after these items, 7K doesn't go far. I couldn't run the garage, bathrooms, kitchen (except fridge) or outside because it's not a huge capacity generator.

I have found the B&S; 7K Watt very reliable, easy start and has trickle battery charger to ensure battery is fully charged. As to the whole house, I take the 220V and distribute it through the circuit breaker panel to 110V to run two refrigerators, one freezer, kitchen lights to include gas stove, other house lights, 12K BTU window a/c and a T.V. As to this load, the B&S; generator has no problem whatever. I have not had the need as of yet to run 220V electric water heater. As to the other comments, agree that the generator would not be able to handle the whole house to include central air, etc. For the price, it is excellent!

Yes, it does. You can use you computer to link it too also, but it always has to have power.

No. It only provides multiple outlets from one wall outlet. I used it to connect multiple devices to power at a work station. I used a battery backup system to provide surge isolation.

I do not see any indication that it does, it doesn't offer any power once unplugged and I cannot see any other reason for it.

When a surge hit my house this unit cut power to all the connected DVDs, tv, a/v units, etc. You can reset the unit with the front button.

No, power goes into the unit, not out of it. The "USB input" on this device is for power only, it is "micro-usb."

Yes it does. I would just recommend unplugging the unit when you are not using it. You are supposed to do that anyway even if it's plugged into a surge protector.
2159241
Yes you can. That was the reason I purchased it. I have a total electric household.

Dear Grandma: The answer is yes! Congrats if you are buying this unit - helped us during blackouts!

Yes. I have used it plugged into the house, a generator as well as a 12 volt to 120 volt inverter.

Yes it does but for some reason the unit has stopped working after some powere surges (brownouts)

No,the phone gets its power from your home through the signal source like cable modem, fiber phone network box, router, and so on.

Only at the mains. This is a whole house meter. They have plug in appliance modules that you can turn the unit on or off

Yes, mostly. This provides a kill switch which stops all electricity to devices connected to it, that way you can connect multiple devices and shut them down completely ensuring you are not being charged I have done that for my tv, cable box, xbox, etc as turn them off at night completely. Saves some money.

No it doesn't I used a switch that provided the power To the unit and it has worked flawlessly for 2 years! This device serves a condo building with great reliability and distance!

No, this only provides power. The GRID+ supports fan control through software.

No, this unit only operates on 120 volts. It is highly unusual for any small device to operate on 220 as most homes have very limited access to anything but 120 volt outlets.
