another new inverter genny
Was just perusing Home Depot's website and came across a genny that some may have an interest in. 2500 surge/2200 continuous 52 db noise, 48 lbs. 3 yr warranty. $699 They specifically claim it...

They specifically claim it will run a 15000 btu AC. For those that want small, light, and to very occasionally run an ac (though likely with everything else off) and supposedly quiet, this could be an option. Apparently they think the extra 600 cont watts is enough of a difference.
Actually, the continuous output is not the limiting factor. The continuous load from an air/con is typically around 1200-1500w. Even the little Honda 2000 with a 1600w continuous can handle that.
The issue is getting the compressor started, so it's the peak capacity that counts.
We have a Yamaha 2400. Bought it about 10yrs ago when there were far fewer options. It runs the air/con fine and we typically have the TV, fan and fridge running once started without issues.
