need help buying a generator for camping

[kalantar]

I am looking to buy a generator to run an AC (and a blender/coffee maker) in my tent, to protect against the desert heat. Too many options/ name brands out there to choose from. I do prefer something that is quiet and reasonable priced.


Any suggestions on which name brand is good to use? I will probably use it 3-4 times a year? How long do these thing usually last and how much gas do they use? I will probably need it to run a good 8 hours each day for 3 days.
