You will get a number of opinions here. Many of us have the Honda 2000. The advantage of the Honda 2000 - QUIET, Light weight, can be paired with a second Honda 2000 with a parallel kit (or a Honda 2000 Companion) to provide 4000 watts, reliable, and did I mention - they're QUIET. Yamaha also makes a good one and you will also hear of the Chinese knock offs. 2000 watts (at sea level) will run everything but the A/C. If you need to run the A/C, get two Honda 2000's or a Honda 3000 (or other brand). Hopefully next year we will add a Honda 2000 Companion.
