I would get the 2000 watt genset thinking ahead to get a second one matching first to tie together. Such as the Honda 2000I and later the companion 2000I.
Honda's EU2000i has been discontinued so remaining stock is now available at discount prices. However, I'd instead opt for the new Honda EU2200i which weighs the same, costs the same, but has a far larger 121 cc engine, and is far more capable than
any of the competition in this class size. It's a great all around portable inverter genset but if the following season the OP wants to also run his A/C I would NOT buy a second EU2200i but instead equip the A/C with a
Micro-Air Easy Start soft starter kit. Several forum members here have now done this and report this combination avoids the need for a second parallel genset OR a larger genset. :B
