Smarter Tools AP2000i Inverter Generator @ Costco for $600

wmoses, you are right in that it wouldn't run you 15K A/C. I'm sure the Locked Rotor Amps (LRA) would be too great. My 7K A/C barely makes that grade.
Hard to tell but it seemed much louder than mine.
I would opt for a 3K generator if I needed air but the 2K will work everything else but NOT everything else at one time maybe.
