Let me just clarify what happened with the 1500w heater. I had the heater running at it's lower output. Kill-a-watt read 122v and 6.86a. I then turned the heater on high. Voltage and amperage readings were 119V and 12.12a, respectively. The generator ran like this for about 1 minute, but the engine was really struggling. After 1 minute, RPMS started to drop (based on observation and sound level) over a period of 20 seconds, and the voltage sagged to about 80V and stayed there. There was no recovery.
