Comparing *Small* Inverter Generators
I'm tired of always lugging around my (heavy to put in the storage or the new trailer and a bit loud) existing generator, when most of the time I have 3 or 4 times the power I need. I'm looking at ...

Here are some rough measurements of the engine speed of the Earthquake IG800w:
low idle: 4140 RPM
high idle: 4700 RPM
max load: 5040 RPM
The corresponding speeds of the eu2000i are 3000, 4300, and 5000. To my ear, the speed change between high idle and max seems huge. I don't remember ever having such a big discrepancy between what my ears perceived and the instrumentation. I must be getting fooled by the increase in the noise level and/or change in frequency components.
