Buying a generator for 800 watts is overkill IMHO. I would use an inverter.
I did buy one of those cheap crappy chinese generators once and it was complete garbage. Not only was it nearly impossible to start, it didn't deliver the advertised wattage (not even close, and I'm not talking about the "peak" or startup wattage I knew it would never get close to) but it also was loud as hell and vibrated so badly the power cords actually vibrated out of the generator. Never again. It would just be a liability to get rid of.
