Hi.

I had RFI issues with an EU2000 some years ago. Built a filter by winding a 12 or 15ft AC extension cord around a big toroid and that fixed it.

Few years later, purchased a Honeywell 1000w and had the same RFI issue. Since I found that during the return period, I opted to return it. Then purchased a EU1000 and I have no issues with RFI on this one. Love to operate portable with it. Also use it as a backup for my solar powered station.

Hope this helps.

Anyone have any experience with inverter generators currently available

hopefully not as dear as a Honda, unfortunately can't be there to make
sure doesn't have a problem with RFI before purchase.  Since some of
them appear to be sold into other markets under different names, even
experience from outside NA could be helpful.  Can see chatter suggesting
they are pretty good these days, no longer the
not-to-be-considered-at-all last time I bought generators, assembling
Scarborough Reef Power & Light.  Tnx!
