    I have a 3500 watt rms Ridgid generator and it beasts everything from my steamer to polisher. When I had an extractor I even ran it off of it and it had no issues. I would say minimum would be 2-3k to be sure.

    I have a 2k watt portable generator, one of those inverter generators.

    And it can NOT handle the master blaster.
