They should all be able to handle the PC. The carpet extractor will need one of the medium duty ones. Depending on the capabilities of the Air Compressor, you might need anywhere from a medium to heavy duty Generator. I say this because I know that my air compressor runs at the limit of my home`s wiring, but it`s rather large so your`s might need less power. What HP is the compressor?

I would get one with 20 amp breakers and atleast.2000 watts (countinuous watts). The porter cable compressors seem to pull alot of amps and will blow a breaker on one of our generators that have 15 amp breakers. I build houses so compressors and generators are two main things we need when out in the open. Also try doing a search.
