Those things could be 8kw running load. Anything using a motor will have a short term, higher draw during starting. Nothing here allowed for a lights, stove burner, or microwave. Do you have a well pump you will need for water?
We can cover the refrigerator, freezer, oil boiler, and a few lights with a 4kw portable. That won't start our deep well pump, so anything more than a few hours of outage where we can run a few cords from the portable, we go to a 15kw PTO unit. I am starting to look at 20kw installed units as it can be a pain to move things around and set up the PTO unit and fuel for a 60+ HP tractor to set and run a generator isn't cheap. For an installed standby unit, I would say you should be looking in the 15 to 20kw size range to allow for running loads and starting loads that may come on while those loads are running. For the difference in cost between a small unit or a larger one, it is worth the difference not to have to run around and turn things off, so you don't overload the generator if something does start that you didn't plan on.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
