I opted for a Northern Tool 3000/3500 watt inverter generator. I know it's heavier and thirstier than the 2KW but I have 2 15K BTU A/C units so I was relatively sure I couldn't run either one on a 2KW even if I added an easy start kit. It might be worth considering if the extra weight isn't a deal breaker.
I got the this one on sale a month or two ago. Since I've had it such a short period of time, I can't say how it will perform long term, but I'm very satisfied so far.
There are several reasons I got that brand and model. First, I got a great deal on a short term sale they had. It was far less than a 2KW Honda, Yamaha, or even Generac. Second, Northern Tool offered and I purchased a protection plan that not only extends the manufacturers warranty, it covers accidental damage. Third, and really the deciding factor for me, they service what they sell and offer parts (try that with Harbor Freight). I'm told that I can take it to any Northern Tool and get service.
Thankfully, I don't have experience with their service because I haven't needed it, but I knew and trusted one of the small engine techs that used to work at our local store and he said they stand behind their products. Time will tell.
