Joe - what 8K genny you get? Do you have a hookup on the house?
Qckslvr - what do you use the 1K watt one for? Those do kick major azz, quiet as hell and smooth.
I used it a lot when I used to race RC cars semi pro. It powered my chargers, tire truer, soldering iron, etc. I have used it to power a Milwaukee hammer drill when I bolted a motorcycle anchor to a car port. I have also used it to power my 110 mig welder, set to the lowest setting of course. I would take it camping, which was nice. While all the other gens are being obnoxious I knew mine was quiet as a mouse. Had to use it jump start the Bronco once. I have had it since the mid 90s. It always starts on the first pull, and never gives me trouble.
I was the VP of the local RC car track. We ran 2 4,000 watt Honda generators at the track. They powered the PA system, concession stand, and provided power to all the race participants. It was the best way of keeping individuals from bringing there noisy PoSes and disrupting drivers, or causing radio interference.
