Yeah, just because the other brands can do it, don't expect the same.
Are we making fair comparisons? Don't' forget that the Reds and Blues have more horsepower, and therefore can come "out of the hole" faster and stronger when a surge hits.
Heck the Eu2000i will actually completely cut off it's voltage output if the generator can't come out of eco mode to meet a high demand fast enough, and then re-establish output once the engine has spooled up. IIRC the Yamaha doesn't do this, and you don't have to search very far to find lots (and LOTS) of stories of the blue options failing miserably with high-load hits from eco idle.
As many in this thread are quick to state, you can't directly compare the 2000 watt class Blue/Reds to the Champion...however, when it comes to discrediting it, suddenly those facts get forgotten.
