Wow, there are a lot of inverter generators crawling out of the woodwork these days. I wonder how long it will be before they are the common technology, and non-inverters are the oddball? I also wonder just how many different designs there are, vs. how many brands there are? The brainless ad copy really boils my blood: "Generac's iX Series inverter technology takes the raw power produced by the generator and passes it through a special electronic microprocessor to provide clean and stable power". 2,000 watt microprocessor, yeah right. And I wonder what those non-electronic microprocessors look like? So far, Champion's factor as copy hasn't offended me at all. Maybe the engineers get to write or review it.
On the air compressor, I've got a twin piston 1 HP Craftsman. At 500' the eu2000i will start it and run to the 100 psi cutoff. But when it tries to restart at 80 psi, the eu2000i grunts and goes offline. I don't remember exactly how far down the tank has to be for a successful restart. I vaguely think it's in the 40 psi ballpark.
