honda vs yamaha generator

I have been thinking about a Honda EU2000i genny and while looking found a Yamaha EF2400iSCH genny. They claim it will start and run a 13,500btu A/c on an RV. Reviews are pretty good. Only saw one review where it would not run the a/c. Others said it would do it.

Just wondering if others on here have tried it or have another similar priced option in a genny. We have a small TT so don't really want to go to expense of a 3000w or pair two 2000w. I know IF it will run the a/c thats all it would likely do. Would be nice to have the option, which you don't have with the Honda 2000. Thks

    Same debate as which truck is better, GM,Ford, or Dodge.
    Bought a Yamaha 2800 watt years ago, Still purrs like a kitten. It will start and run my 15K BTU AC easily even at higher elevations.

    On my old MH the 2400 would start my 13.5 AC. I still have the 2400 but old MH home is gone. I LOVE my 2400. PERIOD.
