Driven Auto Detail
New member
Hey guys (& gals if there are any). I'm in search of a generator for my mobile detailing biz. There are a couple things I'm looking for in a generator
1) Power - Enough power to run a PC/UDM, Cyclo, or Makita rotary, a 5hp Rigid Vac, and a Husky 1800 PSI electric pressure washer. The only items that MIGHT be running at the same time are the Rigid Vac and the PW.
2) Portability/size - My Tacoma has the 5' bed and half will be used for a water tank. I'm looking for a generator that is relatively small in size so it doesn't stick too far up out of the bed. I also would like to be able to take it out of the bed and store it in my garage when I'm not detailing so it needs to be somewhat light.
3) Quiet - I know this is more of a luxury, but I really want something that isn't annoyingly loud.
I've done a little research on here and I've found a Honda generator (linked below) that I think fits my needs but I wanted to get everyone else's thoughts before I spend the money.
Honda EB3000 Generator - Honda Industrial Generators
So, do you guys think this would be a good match for what I'm looking for?
Thanks!
EDIT: I know nothing about watts/amps so that's another reason why I need your help. I want to make sure I'm getting one that is powerful enough for the tools I will be using.
