 I missed that it was 4kW, looking at it though it's obviously small.
It'd be good for a battery charger as solar backup. Strange unit otherwise, a 
quiet generattle I suppose...

4kW will not run your house, not even close, unless you just want a few lights 
and maybe a TV.

Well, that's different then.  That seems to be a pretty good
price for a reasonably-sized genny, if it works.  I'd seriously
consider it, were it local.  (Big Bertha is just too damned
thirsty.)

4kW is woefully undersized for most folks.  I think 10-12kW is more
what is thought of as 'whole house'.  Smaller than the usual rope-pull
genny.  You could make it work, but you'd probably better be thinking
'tiny house', or maybe Green Acres.  The usual electric hot water heater
(tank) is 4+kW all by itself.  Leaving _zero_ for lights, etc.

Likely it is 2 2kW single-phase windings, which means that depending
on how your house is wired, you might only get half of the 4kW, effectively.
(Since I very much doubt it'd have the necessary balancing transformer
to guarantee 4kW under all circumstances.)

Though https://koehlerinstrument.com/ ended up being sort of
interesting... a kinematic viscometer would make a good conversation
piece.

Stupid phone.

It is actually a 14kw unit, not 4 like the ad says.
