I bought a PowerMax 600W Hybrid Wind Turbine Electricity generator for my cabin. I still need to assemble it to get its full use. Does anybody know what electrical devices will i be able to use with
this electricity? TV, fan, computer, microwave, etc...???is this sufficient electricity to make it through the day?

The generator comes with a charge controller and a load dump. You need to buy lots of batteries and an inverter. Given that it is 24 volt, you need at least two large marine lead acid batteries (about $ 300 each) and possibly a lot more. The two batteries will generate 800 watts for only 2-3 hours when there is no wind. The batteries also allow for short time loads over 800 watts.
The inverter needs to be 24 VDC input and 120 VAC output (assuming US operation) and rated for at least 1000 watts, with a sine wave output. I'd get one rated for 1500 watts to allow for peak demands.
Once you have all that together, you can run anything you want, as long as the total adds up to less than the inverter size. Microwave ovens, for example, typically use 1000-1200 watts.
How long the power lasts depends on the current you use, and on the amount of wind, and on the number of batteries. If you don't have any large loads like electric stove or AC or large TV, and you get wind at least half the day, you should be fine.
