Hard to fathom why my 1200 watter handled this load with aplomb, and the 1600 watter won't even try. I was again considering the 2000, now that I have the PD, but this was way to frustrating.
Wonder if it's a power factor thing - maybe it draws short but high current pulses and the electronics in the 2000i doesn't like it. The 'dumb' 1200 doesn't care as the average draw is within its limits.
It definitely a power factor issue. But The 2000 doesn't even rev up, it's very frustrating.
The condenser failed on the 1200, FWIW. CPE is sending me one, and I bought a spare. This failure screwed up my wife's last week if holidays!
