IT'S A MIRACLE! 13.5AC on EU2000i Generator!

That device might work for you at sea level and "moderate" temperatures, but I ran a test on my 13.5 here in the desert at 3500 MSL and 106 degrees and it took a continuous 2040 watts to keep the AC running. A 2000 watt generator ain't gonna cut it no matter how it starts it.
Sheesh. I know this is tame compared to many posts - but can't we just calm down a little? Why is it that someone on every post has to poke the bear a little? Even if there are questions as to its efficacy in ALL situations - can't it be approached in a more civil/cordial way?
OP - thanks for posting your experience. It mirrors that of others I've seen. I'm glad that this device is helpful to you!
It will be interesting to see if it works as well at altitude or extreme heat. Post up if you get a chance to experiment in these environments!
