oops, didn't intend to leave out a major player in the quiet 2000 watt inverter market. It does make me feel a little better about the size.
It's a very valid question/issue.
I'm trying to decide between a Honda 2000 or a Yamaha 2000. (If the Champion inverter was available now for ~$500, I'd go for it instead)
I like a lot of the featured on the Yamaha, but the engine size is one concern.
I keep hearing that the Yamaha 2400i is such a great generator BECAUSE it has an over-sized engine (171cc, 5.5 hp) Because of that, it is very good about holding surge power for quite a long time (~15 minutes)
It also seems to me that a big engine running easy, will outlast a little engine running harder.
Just my $0.02. . .
