Been looking at gennys and you need more wattage output than the appliance needs as they take more wattage to start.

Eastern trading for example is 3x 1000w = 3000w... Therefore you would need a min of a 3.6kva genny...

From what i have read is that 1kva = 1000w, therefore the 3.6kva genny produces 3600w.

Someone correct me if im wrong, thats just what i have read.

You are right up to a point Blue Frog, but a 3.6kva genny won't necessarily generate 3600 watts. Probably 3000 if your lucky.

Didn't think Eastern Trading did a 110v gutter vac only a 240v to plug into mains electric? please let me know if you know differently as I would like a Eastern Trading gutter vac but didn't think they did a 110v?  :-\
