    Need help picking generator

    Well like the title says I need some help deciding between two generators. One is the harbor freight predator 2500 Peak/2200 Running Watts, 4.7 HP (125cc) Portable Inverter Generator. The other is a Sportsmans Series 1850-Watt Generator - Walmart.com. I want something quiet and reliable. What do you guys think? I know a Honda would be best but its not in the budget.

    The question I have is what do you plan on running off the generator?

    I have one of these and it has been amazing:

    Commercial grade, extremely dependable, and great price point. Not an inverted generator but still very quiet. I've run everything under the sun detailing related on this generator and it hasn't had a single hiccup.

    I will be powering all the normal detailing equipment such as polisher, vac, pressure washer, steamer, lights. To VP Mark, I think I saw that one at home depot ,but I figured it would be loud. Looks nice though.
