I have the Yamaha 2800 Sieb (500 watt boost) which produces 23.3 amps, continuous (same as Honda) and the Microair. Easily start is NOT what I'd call it, and it most certainly does not run at the lowest eco speed--in fact it is more like 65% throttle. If I am in the mountains then I needs must use the hybrid inverter to ensure the air conditioner doesn't over load the Yamaha. My air conditioner is a 13500 btu Dometic from 2005. On a hot day (35 C or 95 F), after it has run for an hour, demand is over 1900 watts (measured) or 17 amps. Initially, watts are about 1200. I don't have a meter fast enough to measure start up surge.

If the OP installs a Micro-Air Easy Start Soft Starter Kit on his A/C an EU3000iS will easily start the A/C compressor every time and I'd bet it would hardly break ECO speed keeping it running, meaning the quietest solution he's going to find. :)
