I will say making initial contact for warranty took several days, but once started it worked out OK.
They are very quiet. Neighbors at Kansas Speedway were impressed. I ran them in the bed of my truck.

The most generator use I see is fixing dinner and watching TV! 🙂
Yeah...we weren't boondocking so we probably aren't the best example. If I were boondocking, I probably wouldn't use it for AC unless it got really hot...but then I probably wouldn't be boondocking. 🙂

Not sure how many extra fingers you have, but you can count me as one of them. I have a HF Predator 3500 that I bought this summer when the campground we were staying at lost power. The power company said power may not come on for 2-3 days and it was nearly 100 degrees in the day time. So I found a Harbor Freight and ran out to buy one mainly so I didn't lose everything in my fridge (residential fridge). Anyways, that 3500 ran the AC easily. But if I remember right, we were pulling close to 1700-1800 watts with the AC and other misc items. So a 2000 watt genny likely wouldn't cut it. 🙂
As a side note, the campground (Jellystone in Natural Bridge, VA) refunded us 50% of our fees for the entire week even though power ended up only being off for about 24 hours. So that helped pay for the generator.

Remote control electric starter and enough power to run our AC unit.

I do wish my 2K 100565 would have 3,500W, but stay the same weight, size, and shape. I know...the more you get, the more you want!

We used it to top our batteries off at 9000 ft and it had plenty of power at that altitude. I actually had to pull the starter cord twice at 9000 ft which was unusual.

It will run anything I have thrown at it so far in my 5er and in my remote shop, but don't know about a second a/c.
