 Per Too_Many_Tools:
>The other as a portable generator using gasoline.

First thing I'd do is define "portable".

My definition turned out tb "something I can carry and which I
can get in-and-out of my car".

Somebody else's might be around carrying it in the bed of a
pickup truck and/or rolling it on wheels or a hand truck.

Big diff in potential capacity there - unless one thinks in terms
of a pair of EU2000's.


Second thing I'd work out is how clean I need the output to be.

Dunno enough to go pedantic on that, but from reading other
threads it appears that some appliances (radios? Computers?)
need cleaner output than some generators can deliver.

Good points ...

Portability in this case is what one man can lift and load into a
vehicle.

Cleaniness of the power is less critical since it will be fed through
a line filter before it reaches any equipment.

The army defines portable as "having handles for lifting."

NASA defines portable as anything the Saturn V tug/crawler
can move down the runway...
