850w output versus a flat screen needing 120w - should manage that with ease, but how are you going to her the TV with the genny running?

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Should have thought so, it claims an output power of 850w my flat screen tv only requires 125w, just check the requirements of your tv.

As Andy stated it is 65dbls which is quite low plus the genny will be chain locked to my front car wheel with the cable running underneath to the trailer, so the car body will also deflect the noise

I was looking at this one with 1500 watt power, it would be noisier but its four stroke so no having to mix petrol
