Which generator would you use?
I need a current indicator for my property. With that I have to charge 12V batteries, run light, charge the garden tools and power my laptop. Now I've picked out three times and would like to know what you would take:

What lamp power in watts do we talk about in total for your lighting purposes and what capacity will your 12 volt batteries have in approximately? Do you want to expect you and your neighbor for hours the chatter of an internal combustion engine for a generator module?
Do you have regular wind at the location of your property?
I have already considered wind. But it falls away because of trees. I do not want to install any bigger solar. Is only for about 2-3 hours. Will I also use for devices if I want to build something or want to repair.
I use 1.5kw then already.
For 230 Volt machines (flex, circular saw, drilling machine, etc.) you should better because of the high starting currents of electric motors then to an aggregate with at least 1 x 230 V ~ 16 A rated load capacity as usual in domestic housing - AC power back.
I know of all 3 generators anyone who has gained experience.
However, I'm under the impression that the price is here in the foreground.
If a comparison is to be made with different devices, a matrix should be created in which different technical characteristics and, therefore, also the price are displayed.
I have to do hobby (amateur radio) with emergency generators.
Our Fieldaygruppe also uses an emergency power system for their activities.
However, we deliberately decided against such cheap models.
Often it is so with these
their durability is limited
the noise level is not negligible
other technical parameters are disadvantageous in operation
We use the unit Honda 20i and had so far not a single failure.
In 2018, the WRTC2018 (the amateur radio world championship in a competition) was exclusively equipped with this unit.
Around 50 teams from all over the world received station equipment, including an emergency Honda 20i.

If it should be one of the "threes", I would take the No. 1 (Zipper) (in my environment, at least no one has a negative experience with the part).
Optionally, I would think again about a PV system (island solution), if the sun comes through on the "garden house". Examples (also for the basic structure):

So was my train of thought. Only load over aggregate if I have moved out more than support. So I do not have to run the unit all the time.
And last but not least, when I use more power in terms of working machines. I will not need it every week.
You and Parhalia are right about the Honda generator. If I needed that more often then I would take that too.
Then maybe it makes sense synonymous with a PV solution, the battery to put out a little larger. In any case, the "main mission" will be more in friendly weather, like now, or in summer.
Thanks for the star.
