Portable generators question
OK, I'm all set on buying a Honda EU2000i and it's all I need except it won't handle the AC. Now, I go to Sam's Club and see they have a Champion 3500 duel fuel $299.00. I know this is apples to oran...

Hi Jerry,
All the 2k genny's really only do 1600 watt continuous. If a 1500 watt inductive load is sudden added, it may overload the generator. That is more likely in eco mode. Once the device is powered up, then it is possible to switch eco back on to save a smidgen of fuel.
That is my understanding, but just from reading at this point, not actual experience. Unless I had a very limited supply, I would not care about the small fuel savings. Unless I was running a small load, say less than 1K, I think I'll just keep the eco mode off. I'll be gaining some actual experience with it this early Spring.
