Two of the 1000 watt units will probably cost as much or at least almost as much as
the 3000 watt unit... there is some advantage
to having two units, but the advantage of having a unit that can support anything that
can operate on a 20 amp fuse may be worth
more to you......The 3000 watt Honda Inverter/generator has a current limit of about
23 amps... and I am sure that the 1k unit has a
current limit as well... going on watt ratings can be something of a fooler in that
motors and transformers can draw more current than
the "watt calculation" would indicate... Measuring the current needed would be good,
but a clip-on ammeter would be needed.
Renting the unit for a trial run would be terrific if you can find one ....
We use the 3K Honda Inverter/gen and have no complaints... runs everything.. one 20
amp circuit at a time....One of the list
members has both and has commented on the performance... hopefully they are still
checking the list...
