What is the smallest generator currently sold?

Folks,

I am looking to buy a really small generator. A number of years ago Honda made a 350 that was perfect but they don't make it anymore. I go on a number of remote fishing and hunting trips and need a CPAP machine to sleep at night.

My brother in-laws are taking me fishing to a remote lake in a few weeks so I need to get a really small generator. What is currently sold out there that will fit my needs for a fly in trip?

Thanks,

This item – Earthquake 11613 IG 800W Portable Inverter Generator comes with a 4 cycle 40cc OHV engine that is Viper and it has an overloading protection. It runs for up to 14 hours at half load and it weighs about 21 pounds.
It is carb compliant and it is sold in all 50 states. It runs quietly with noise suppressing housing and it has a reset circuit breaker. You can connect various electronics without the concern of it ruining their vital components. It runs at 800 watts.
Consumers like how quietly it runs and feel it is a great product to purchase. This item is highly rated among other generators and is considered among the best portable generators.

Found the above by googling.

If you are only going overnight you can get a 12volt cord for most CPAP machines. My old camp runs them on 12v overnight then recharges the batteries during the day.

I use a CPAP with a sealed portable battery when camping or hunting. Just do not use the heated humidifier and you should be good for several nights. You could use a small solar panel during the day to recharge too. With a battery there is no noise and no fumes when you are sleeping.....

There's a fella at camp who needs one. Battery runs it all night and solar recharges all day. Low days he charges it with the genny but mostly gets by with the solar panel

I run mine with a Eliminator (with humidity turned off) and I have a 40 watt solar panel to recharge Eliminator and on really crap days a DC to DC connector and run the vehicle for 15 minutes. works good for me every weekend.

Thanks Lads

For the in trip with my Son, a battery might be a little heavy. Northernontario I ordered on of those little powerhouse generators - thannks. I will see how good they are? Jaycee initially I tried to order one of the Earthquake ones but they will not ship to Canada. Thanks lads.

Did you try looking for them on the Canadian site? US site takes orders from states, but not Canada because they don't want to deal with tax, duty, brokerage fees.

Actually I lucked out yesterday and found myself a little Honda 350 in Canada. I cancelled the Chinese gennie and my Honda is in the mail as we speak. I am a happy man. Thanks for all the feedback lads.
