I have an Yamaha 3000 iSE. It is heavy, but it has performed faithfully for me (knock on wood... time to fire it up later today after not using it since April.)
My only bad item with Yamaha is parts availability. Honda parts are everywhere. Yamaha parts, I have to buy online, and the shipping can be more than the item itself. Service is also difficult to find. So, if one is 50/50, this will push into red territory.
Were it to do it all over and buy another portable generator, I would go with the Honda EU6500iS. It has the same noise rating as the eu2000, and with the slight bump in wattage (5500 watts running), would have no trouble starting a 15,000 BTU A/C.
