Default Generator Thoughts

I think the Coleman Powermate runs 1,000 watts. I did a froogle
search, and this was the closest I found

which is $609, and is 1800 watts.

What equipment do you want to run? Motors, lights, heaters, what?

I need a small generator for use at an isolated outside storage
building.
The power demand is 1,000 watts or less and the generator only needs
to run
for an hour or two at a time. The generator will only be used
occasionally,
but, like most things, needs to work when I need it.

FYI, I've looked at Honda generators, but their units are too pricey
for my
needs. I simply can't justify the cost, regardless of how nice the
Honda
generators are. At the other end of the spectrum, there are $99
generators
on Ebay (2 strokes), but those scare the stuffing out of me, because I
don't
recognize the brand and because, after all, I need the darned thing to
work
when necessary.

Any thoughts for a reliable, low cost generator that'll fit the bill?
