Nice report.
Interesting as per the Profs testing, the Yamaha 2000's were "the worst if the bunch".
(I think I understand what's going on here now... ie: certain dispariging reports of other brands, cheer leading, "inside" info on updates and such...)
Anyhow, I got my semi - trusty 1200 watter going again, and life is good.
Nice not getting a dozen overloads/shutdowns/restarts just to charge a couple batteries....
I notice a level of mendacity passed off as something else on this thread, so I am going to go on my way. Only here, and only once have (okay, maybe on a certain blog ;-)), have i ever read about the CPE 2000 even coming close, let alone outperforming (!!), honda and yamaha gensets. But to readers of this thread, everything I reported back is unbiased, and truthful from my experiences. (Remember, I still run a CPE product as my genset of choice, just not a 2000i). So.... good luck and caveat emptor.
