Probably apples and oranges. I have a 2400 and it does a great job. But it is not set up for parallel operation. My understanding is that the engine on it is over-sized and the same one they use on a larger unit - I think the 3kw.....
It has started and run my 15k AC. But it and the AC unit struggled, and it had no head room left.....
In fairness it is advertised to run most 13.5k ACs so just running a 15k ain't bad.
And, yes its 171cc engine is the same as in the ef2800i as well as the ef3000i models. Presumably the alternator and/or inverter portion is better as you move up the product line.

Correct. Not complaining at all. It ran my 13.5 fine with the hard start kit. Wish I could parallel it with a 2000. That would be sweet.
As it is I am trying to decide what to do next.... actually hard to justify changing currently because we normally frequent parks with hookups.
Maybe I wasn't being clear before. You were comparing surge capability of 2kw units with your experience of larger units having good surge capability. That may not carry over for the 2 kw units as their engines may be sized closer to their ratings.....
