Phil, have you considered linking two of the 2000W generators together?

Please see my thread in the tech section where I am successful running a 15k AC with a honda 2200i with the addition of a inexpensive supco cap. Not everyone needs a 150lb generator.librty02 wrote:
Well 2000 Watts isn't much power at all. Great for running lights,the fridge, furnace, Micro, and water pump. Forget the AC and other things with only 2000 watts
Heck I think my wife's hair dryer is 1800 watts alone.
People really rave about the 3500 watt predator. Maybe give that one a try and you should be able to run the AC no problem with it.

Won't run a lot of things without the home made jumper plug to settle the floating ground.
You gotta explain that one to me haha

Ditto. Have a 2000w Champ inverter, barely runs a few items. Won't run a lot of things without the home made jumper plug to settle the floating ground.
Also have the 3400w Champ inverter. It runs everything fine (15,000 BTU AC) and barely groans.

Returned the 2k generator last night for the 3500. Doing some break-in now. I was impressed with Harbor Freight's return policy. Not 1 ounce of questioning. I cannot believe how quiet this generator is. Hopefully we will get the performance we need.
Thanks for the replies!
Sweet! Good deal. Did you use a coupon and did you get the extended warranty on it? If so what did that run you?

Is the 3500 significantly quieter than the 2000 model?

The bigger the generator the more it weighs.
I borrowed a 3KW construction sight unit and it powered everything; if you could stand the noise and muscle it into a decent location.
I am old so weigh and noise are my prime concerns. If the microwave has to wait until the coffee is done, so be it.
If I really needed a lot of power I would spend the bucks for the lighter quieter unit.
