Thank you all for your responses. Does anyone have expedience with the Hyundai HY2000/2800Sei generators? Good reviews and good price on Amazon.
Based on the models you have mentioned, it would seem you are looking for a small, light, and quiet inverter generator.
A friend has the HY2000si and likes it. Not quite as quiet or light as the Honda but it puts out 25% more power (2,000w vs 1,600w) and is a lot less expensive. It is 2,200w peak and often it is the peak output that is used as the model number (the Honda and Champion 2000 models are both 2,000w peak). It was not hard to carry around, at least for me.
I have no experience with the HY2800SEi but oddly enough that model really is 2,800w peak, and 2,600w operating wattage, So the difference between the two is 600w not 800w. I would for sure go with the Champion 3100 inverter over this Hyundai model--the price is not much different.
