I have a Honda eu2000i. It's a great little generator that puts out not pure sine wave but close enough to fool anything that asks. It is rated at 1.6 kw continuous/2kw surge. It only puts out 120 volts, no 220. Sounds like the only benefit it might have over your present inverter is the virtual true sine wave. If you could borrow one to try it that might answer some questions. All that being said, I have a "spare" Generac 3500XL (4kw surge). It is the old standard iron generator without any fancy electronics. When the pump starts the genny will slow down and meet it half way. It also puts out 220 volts. Interested in taking it off my hands? Could borrow the eu2000i for that matter too. Where are you?
