Another must have for tailgating. We run several of these. You would be amazed at how well these little guys do. You can run one off the other and so on.

Those wouldn't really do well at our tailgate, but those fans are pretty awesome. My buddy uses some of those at their spot, and just in general when they have shite at their house. They're badass, well...as long as you're sitting directly in front of it.

My buddy's dad has a blue one that is as quiet as the Hondas. I don't know what brand it is, but I'm guessing maybe yamaha. Maybe cheaper, but I haven't looked into it

I have a solar generator that puts out 3kw constantly. Only three panels.

No gas
No noise
No up keep

We had a kipor. It is a Chinese knock off of the quiet Hondas. Bought it off of ebay and it has lasted a long time for half the price.

That's the exact fan I bought from amazon last year for tailgating. It turns my 10x20 tent into a wind tunnel when I have the sidewalls up.

Honda EU 2000. They're pricey but run quiet as hell and last forever.

I'm sure it's been said, but that Honda won't pull all the electronics and the fan.

I seen one of those Honda 2000s run a 110 Window unit and a regular size ice box for a hurricane. A couple fans and a tv aint shite for it.

Be carefull with slowcookers and hot plates. They draw a pretty sunstantial load.

Ryobi 2200 starting watts/ 1800 running watts

Only $600 and is really light and quiet. You can link 2 together if you need more power

I have two of the Honda 2000s. They are the best on the mkt for that size without question.

A single would be just fine running what you asked about.

Using mine I've run a "32 in built in fridge, a regular fridge and box cooler on a single 2000k generator with no problem.

Your biggest power drains will be anything that creates electric heat. Like a hot plate, coffee maker etc.
