..and 5 Db is a lot quieter, but are you planning to export the surplus power to the grid?

4 stokes are usually much quieter than the 2 strokes.

Harry i take it that this one will have no problem then running a TV-DVD, Microwave, Kettle, Toaster and Laptop

Not all at the same time

Kettle might be nearest to the limit, but the best way is check the rated wattage on each appliance, add up the ones you might want to be using all at the same time and if it exceeds 1500 watts (or 1.5Kw) then you cannot.

I had an Honda generator for my wild caravan it was so unbelievably quite

stocktake · 29th March 2012, 20:11

Honda Ex range is generally considered the best by far by campers, Called suitcase generators.
My EX650 is used at the nano meets and it is so quiet you forget it is on.
4 stroke and very durable.
The new ones are called EU. almost silent

Here you go 2kw

Even the EX range holds its price really well, the sign of a good genny,
here is a bargain

When buying generators for camping etc.... take a read of this

Honda Inverter Produces Power Stability

Computers and power-sensitive testing equipment require what is referred to as "clean power." Clean power is electrical current that is consistent and has a stable "sine wave" or signal. If the lights or other basic appliances in your home were being powered by a generator and there was a fluctuation in the AC power, you’d probably see the lights dim and then return to full brightness—no problem! However, if your computer was being powered by a generator and the voltage fluctuated, chances are the computer would either shut down or at least interrupt the program you were working in.

In order to overcome this problem, Honda engineers developed a revolutionary form of inverter technology. This process takes the raw power produced by the generator, passes it through a special microprocessor that provides ultra-clean power that boasts a sine wave equal to or better than the current from your household AC wall outlet. This means that, you can operate a computer or laptop direct from a generator.

Do not use a modified (or square) sine wave output generator.
