Can you use a hair dryer if you are using a generator?

Deerrunner asked:


Can someone please explain in detail how to use generators. Can i use a hair dryer? How many watts can the dryer be? What type of generator do I need? I want to be able to at least have a light on,have my refrigerator running,have some hot water and a little heater. I don’t want to be running around with wet hair in the cold either. Only serious answers please. I have no idea what to do. Please give me any useful tips to have. Thanks in advance.
What type of generator is a good one to get? Brand? How much does it cost? I already know they are expensive.
Can I turn off some other stuff if I need to use the watts for somehitng else? Hope that makes sense.
I want to get a generator for when the power is lost. I live in MO. and we recently had allot of power outage. I know poeple that haven’t had power for about 9 days.
