+1 for the Honda EU2000i. Pure sine wave output, ultra stable and very quiet and efficient to run.
I have run my Bose L1 sound system, Laptop, LED lights and lasers all from the above generator. Just buy one of those little inline power measuring gadgets so you can monitor the current draw and therefore don't overload it.

There is another that states that this has already happened.”... Douglas Adams 1952 - 2001
