    Im trying to get everything set up to go mobile, and im really worried about running a generator in apartment/condo neighborhoods. I will use the customers power as often as possible, but looking for a second affordable alternative.

    would this work to run the shop vac and porter cable?



    All Power America 1000W 2 HP 2 Stroke portable generator - Model APG 3004A at Sears.com



    at least till i could afford a nice honda, or not?



    Thanks in advance.

    Determine how much power you need to find your own answer.



    Amps x Volts = Watts.

    I just picked up a Honda 2000ui generator. I tested my vacuum, Metabo, Cyclo, and carpet Spotter on it. I still have not tested my larger extractor yet. There would not be a problem with running it almost anywhere. It is much quieter than my Cyclo.

    just FYI, that 2-Stroke Generator is gonna be LOUD LOUD LOUD.



    I dont know if 1000 watts will work with the vac, but the PC should be ok.
