All situations are different. My DuoTherm Brisk Air starts and runs just fine with 2 paralleled 2ks on Eco mode. And I can run many things at the same time, including the MW for a minute or so, but they are definitely screaming at that point.
How often do we read comments like: I can power x with y, I can't power x with y, I can power a with b, I can't power a with b.
Unfortunately, it's not common knowledge as to WHY (specifically LRA vs. generator inrush capability) one person can power their x with y, while another cannot. Those that choose to arm themselves with this kind of knowledge have the potential to save their hearing, their back, their precious money, and keep cool during the summer, all at the same time.
