hi all, i need to buy a generator (petrol) to power some stuff, but im not really sure what to look for. ive found a cheap one rated at 800 watts, but does this rating mean it wont power an 1100 watt vacuum cleaner for instance? ive a feeling it wont but i just want to be certain as i dont want to buy the wrong thing. cheers all, nick

Check again - I doubt that a petrol generator comes in that low (800W) a rating....
For an idea, check this site.
