RE: Generators
My preference is for a 4-stroke generator, with a quality engine and inverter output. This will be reasonably quiet, reliable, and able to run sensitive equipment safely.

You can run equipment with high startup current by using an inverter with soft start function. Here is a short video of my Harrison M300 lathe, 3hp motor, starting and changing direction whilst running from an SDMO 2000W genset and Mitsubishi inverter, soft start set to 3 seconds. Of course, if the lathe was doing serious work the generator would be working hard, but if you can start it up you can keep an ear on the generator and work accordingly.
