Honda EU 2000 ability = impressive
I just did a test of the capabilities of my generator. I'm very impressed. It ran the AC on high, PD9145 at full power output, and ran my 3 way fridge on AC. No overload light! RPMs must have ...

If it has the " the best surge capability of any inverter genset in this class" then how do you explain it not running a (13.5) A/C when others will....Perhaps you've already done this, if you don't run the comparison test at the same time, same place, with the same air conditioner, the results don't have a whole lot of value. Altitude, atmospheric conditions, and the make/model of air conditioner are all variables that need to be controlled for a valid conclusion. I have an eu2000i, and I and others on the forum from time to time say the 30 minute 2,000 VA capability is bunk. Maybe at sea level on a cold day, but in real world conditions of mild temps and a few hundred feet of altitude, my observation is that they max out at about 1,900 VA, and won't produce 2,000 VA for any period of time greater than a few seconds. That doesn't mean I'm down on the eu2000i. I haven't heard of a 2,000 VA generator that's better, and the eu2000i seems to be head-and-shoulders above the other 2,000 VA gens in load starting capability.
