I watched a review on the inverters and they are very quiet, but I'm looking for one to run a fridge, a deep freezer, lights, fan, and a window AC unit. Oh, and a Death Laser, if needed.   I haven't really researched exactly what I would need, but figured it's best to have too much than not enough.

Yeah, you may want something larger.  You can look at all the labels on the stuff you want to power.   Some will tell you the watts, others you’ll have to multiply the volts x amps (I think, someone can correct me if I’m wrong). That’ll give you the watts.   Fridges and such, will also draw more watts upon start up.  2-3x’s more.  You’ll also, if I’m not mistaken, have to make sure you don’t exceed the amps the generator can put out.  Amps should be listed on the label.  

If a Death Laser is what you’re going for, I’d suggest getting a thousand of those and running them in parallel.  I’m not an evil scientist. Or even a regular scientist.  But that seems to be a good starting point.
