15k BTU on 2200 watt generator
Will easy start allow me to run AC on 2200 watt generator? I see Yamaha has a brand new 2200 generator that looks fantastic. How are the Y's compared to the Honda's? How bad are the cheap Sam's...

A hard-start kit may reduce inrush current (LRA) a few amps under the best of conditions. The MAES can reduce inrush current (LRA) 20 amps or more. Current reduction of this magnitude takes a tremendous strain off the generator upon start-up. In this comparison you definitely get what you pay for.
That easy start sounds pretty expensive. You can pick up a hard start kit for about 15 t0 20 dollars that does exactly the same thing, maybe even better under low voltage. Just google SPP5 SPP6 SPP8 The higher the number just means more capacity of the starting capacitor
I know what a hard/soft start capacitor will do and have been reading up on the Micro air. Not sure if it is something I want to try. I know I can run 8k with a Honda 2000, but if I could take all strain off the Honda might be worth the money?
