Compact quiet diesel / gasoline generator to power house appliances
i'm looking for a compact (say 3ft x 2ft x 0.5ft) diesel or gasoline
quiet generator that could power the equipment in my house
(mostly TV, ceiling fan, lights that use 220-240V of 20-50Amp).
I guess air-conditioners will require much higher voltage/amperes
so will leave it out.
Can recommend any? Ideally below US$1,000
Would the following work:

You said you needed 6 KW . Check your usage and time requirements. With a refrigerator and appliances as well as lights, a battery won't work. To run for a couple of hours requires a gasoline generator

The shadow.com link can't be loaded, anything on eBay?
I am not sure what happened there. Search for Honda generators and go from there

it consumes about 20-30% more than LED TV).
Thing about using car battery is I don't have the connectors & I'll need to
place these batteries all over the house; I do have 8 Vinsic 30000mAH
rechargeable power banks though
