When we have storms and power outages down here I hook my 2300 to a small up-right freezer, Full sized fridge, 2/3 light bulbs and the tv to watch the weather reports and that's pushing it a little.

The freezer and fridge are ran 1 hr on then 4 hrs off.

750, I would guess one power tool (saw etc) at a time. Couple of lights with tv/radio, Pretty sure a fridge would be pushing this one.

746 Watts = 1 Horsepower.
Since the start up current of an electric motor can be several times its "normal" current, you MAY be hard pressed to run a 1/2 HP motor.
You really need to know what current any electric motors require for start up and what "surge" capacity the generator has.
