I run a 5,000w colemen powermate from costco about 12 years ago.Alway's dependable was a good price @ $500.00 back then,but louder then chit with a 10hp briggs & stranton.I'd go with the 3,000w honda or yamaha.I have used a 1,000w honda several times,handy but not what I'd want to run my cribb during a power outage.Good luck,
