I don't think so. It looks like it's "creating" 220v by using the
two 120 legs of a typical US house 220v residential service. That
wouldn't be the case with a generator that only creates 120v.

From their FAQ ( http://www.quick220.com/faq's1.htm#independent ) :

has anyone checked out the differential in the 4400w vs 3300 watt
U.S.A. plugs? 80.00(!), ouch. i wonder if the insides are any
different for the two models? my old standby, total rube and very
unsafe, method looks pretty good by comparison (just wire 220 to a
15a 110 jack, paint it red, and change the plug on the 220v gear
to match). --Loren

"What do you mean by "independent 110 volt outlets?"
Technically, the AC voltage of the two outlets are 180 degrees out
of phase. Practically, you find the "independent outlet" by moving
the second power cord to different outlets until the green light on
the front panel goes on. About half the outlets in a building will be
"independent" of the other half.
