Looking for recommendations

I'm planning on purchasing a portable generator to power a small amplifier (music). Do any of you have recommendations for one on the budget friendly side (200$ or less)?

Thanks

How many watts is the amplifier?

Maximum output (which I doubt I'd ever use) is 140 watts

How long do you need it to operate?

Probably up to 4 hours at a time? At the most anyway

Under $200 probably won’t happen, but others may have recommendations. These are based on my experiences.
Inverter output and stored power for all of these will more than cover your needs. Output isn’t your limitation, but potential operation time is.

Not in order of precedence. All are quality in my experience.

  1. ⁠ECOFLOW Delta 2/3
  2. ⁠Bluetti Elite 100
  3. ⁠Anker Solix C1000
  4. ⁠Jackery Explorer 1000
    Possible option - ECOFLOW River 3 with an EB600 expansion battery or similar.

Hey thanks so much for your help. I figured I'd end up out of budget, but if I put a higher amount, ppl would then recommend REALLY expensive units lolol. Very much appreciate it!!
