Generator size

[angus kid]

I was wondering what size generator people use at your shows to power your blow dryers? Whenever i turn on both dryers the generator seems to get bogged down.

What size do you have? We have a 8000/7000 that we can run 3 blowers on.

A 6000 or a 6500 with a 7000 or 7500 surge should run them both with ease. Bigger won't hurt.

Thank you for the advice! I have a 4500 peak generator and I knew that it wasn't enough but I didn't know how much power would be necessary to power them efficiently.
