...Then you have fuel economy and power quality:
- If the air/con (or other heavy load) is cycling on and off, the inverter generator will typically use much less fuel because it will throttle way back when the load is off. A traditional generator must keep the RPM up to provide a steady 60hz.
- Related to this, inverter generators generally are better at keeping the 120v-60hz power clean. Traditional generators tend to slow down and the voltage sags when you apply a heavy load before the engine can catch up...
...so going with the contractor type doesn't make a lot of sense
The Champion #100302 is an Inverter generator.
OP - I have this generator on my shopping list. Just looking for a good excuse so my wife buys into it.
