Never paralleled them, but I have ran them near each other, similar loads. I'm not sure what to say other than it sounds like 2 instead of 1!
Others will disagree, but I deem the champs a failure, as they have very poor abilities with high PF loads, and they have next to no surge capacity. The frustrating part is they don't even load up, they just overload.
I will be buying a 2000 class genset, partially to run our Power Saver AC, but I am looking elsewhere, maybe Chinese, maybe a Honda. Either way, I don't think that 80cc is sufficient for sustained 1600 watts, so I would suggest others.
I am looking at the powerhouse 2000, or 2100phri (with remote estart).
