We are looking at generators around 2.4kva. The Honda 20i is too small for our air con, a friend bought to my attention a generator called voltmax which was mentioned in west Australian newspaper (the show is in WA next week) does anyone know anything about this make or maybe has/used one.

Just make sure that it is a rectified (full sine wave) genny, otherwise you will destroy all you come in contact with.

Doesn't "rectified" imply its output is DC?

The output from a Sine Wave Generator is definitely NOT rectified.

Not trying to confuse, just correcting a non fact.

Lot of people believe the Honda 20i is the best thing since sliced bread , pity , seems honda should actually rebadge the unit to what it actually is , that being 1600watts.

Just had to replace my yamaha 2400 after 5 years. The inverter decided it had had enough. $1200 for a new inverter + installation. Decided it was not worth fixing. Bought a honda 20i instead. Hopefully have better luck with this one.
Only used the yamaha for 3-4 weeks a year during that 5 year period. The honda runs our heron q air conditioner in our caravan with no problems.
Pretty dissapointed in the yamaha only lasting 5 years. Had no other issues with it prior to inverter sh*&ing itself.

WE have had a KIPOR 2600 for about 5 years and it has never missed a beat. It's nominal rating (real world) is 2300watts and drives everything in our van without any problems.
