I bought the Champion 3100w inverter with wireless remote. I'm extremely pleased with the generator. It's light, quiet and half the price of the Yamaha and Honda. I paid $1079 w/free freight.

This looks like a nice unit..... the remote must be an outstanding feature and it should have enough juice to run an A/C. I'd have to check but I think the noise is slightly higher than the Honda 2000 (as expected for a 3000W) and it's definitely heavier at 110 lbs (wheels though are nice).
I love my Honda 2000 but at $1000 it is pricey. I just saw a Yamaha at Costco that looked very similar in size and watts to my Honda for $599. It caught my eye but I didn't want to look too closely since I just bought my Honda last year :)
