will this unit run a 15000 btu a/c and a small microwave and or electric coffee pot?

No.... would not run a 10000 either, but it does great with an 8000, just turn it on maximum cold so the compressor does not cycle and it will do just fine. Very reliable for a year and a half using it at my camp on weekends. Use non ethanol gas and change the oil.

This unit is strictly 125 volts. Make sure your a/c is 125 volts, not 250 volts. This generator can easily power the coffee pot and a small microwave oven, but I think the A/C should be run by itself. I haven't had any problems with powering two gas furnaces and the usual household appliances. I do not try to run them all at the same time. Also, be sure to use heavy gauge extension cords. I use 12 gauge and have not experienced any problems. I use only 89 octane Shell gasoline and treat it with Sea Foam. My unit always starts on the first pull.Good luck.

The microwave and electric coffee pot are safe to run with this generator. Running the 15,000 BTU A/C will cause both units to short out as well as damage.This is a reliable generator...during power outages we have run a large fridge, microwave, coffee pot, charged our cell phones and laptops. It is able to take more, but the more appliances you use the faster the gas is used up, which is a pain to get during a power outage. You will like this because it's also easy to start up 1-3 pulls with mimimal force! :)

Since the unit has a 1,500W heating element, two fans, and two lamps, I would err on the side of prudence and give it its own 20-amp circuit (which, by the way, the specifications in the Amazon product description (http://www.amazon.com/Broan-QTX110HL-Silent-Series-Heater/dp/B000QE7F26/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i).

on a 1500 watt unit it will handle only about 1200 watt load. my opinion is that what you are asking it to do, it won"t do it.

There are two heat settings; low and high. They probably correspond to 1500 and 750 watts output. The thermostat will work with either setting.

A 15 amp grounded circuit can handle 1800 watts. This unit uses 1500 watts. I would not have anything else on the same circuit except perhaps one 100watt light bulb. I found my unit only heated within 3 feet,so I returned it. Maybe I got a lemon,but my heater was not an effective source of heat.

The product is rated to switch 120/240VAC up to 22A. So, it can handle a fairly large load. I would, however, NOT generally recommend switching an A/C at the power supply side, as it could cause stress to the appliance. Use the built-in thermostat instead or refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

1500 watts. I would not recommend this kettle. Sometimes the auto shutoff does not work.

I am very doubtful that you could run either of these major appliances. I run a very small frig/freezer on my boat that uses about 25 amp/hours per day. I think these much larger appliances have much larger compressors and would use a lot more electrical energy.

It's best to have a 20 amp circuit for this cooktop. It will run on a 15 amp circuit but you run the risk of tripping the breaker

Unit is rated 15A at 120 VAC which equates to 1800 watt.Should mention had issue with turn-off upper temperature becoming higher over time.

1st 1500W for a house is small. Refrigerator and small coffee pot, the fuse type listed 200a is needed, but seriously 1500 for house... I have 2 2500's on my boat

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

No. This unit operates on 120v and 120v residential circuits are either 15 amp (limited to 1800 max watts per circuit) or 20 amp (limited to 2400 watts per circuit). Also, under continuous loads of 3 or more hours these limits are reduced by 20%, meaning 1440 watts on a 15 amp circuit and 1920 watts on a 20 amp circuit. The small burner on this oven is 500 watts, the large burner 1000 watts, the oven 1500 watts. Since Avanti cannot know for sure whether a customer has a 15 or 20 amp circuit the product must be manufactured to be able to work safely on the lower of the two and that means not exceeding 1800 watts, which is precisely what it would do if the oven and either burner were used at the same time. Safety is also the reason for the auto timer that shuts off the oven after 60 minutes and for not being able to use both burners at the same time; if forgotten and left on continuously the unit would overload a 15 amp circuit and trip the breaker, hopefully before starting a fire due to overheated wiring.

I believe the unit would pull 20 amps so a kitchen circuit should handle the load. Hope this helps

That is difficult to say without knowing what appliances you are running etc. A generator such as this is capable of running a medium sized house all by itself. On mine I did not set it up to run the air conditioning. It is my backup generator. It also doesn't power my spa or woodworking shop. It is hooked up to run my heating ( we are on propane though so not a large draw) refrigerators, freezer, some lights, the pump house for water, a tv, and a few other things. We live in Colorado at about 6500 ft elevation so air conditioning isn't a big deal to us. If you know the wattage of your appliances you can add them up to see what is left over. Then if you know the horsepower of your air conditioner system you can multiply that by 750 to get the watts used by that. For instance a 2 hp compressor would be 1500 watts plus a one hp fan for another 750 watts would make a small central air unit pull about 2250 watts. Bear in mind starting current would be about three times that amount or about 6750 watts almost half of the generator's output. Bear in mind that ovens, stoves etc can draw a lot but you don't have to put them all on at the same time. This frees up power for air conditioning. I hope this gave you some insight.

Depends on the size of the house I suppose. It will not run our AC or our electric stove and a few other. Heater, refrigerator, computers, microwave & most lights are covered.
