Eco Mode: The Champion 2000 watt inverter generators I used to own had an "Eco Mode" rocker switch. It had a magical hamster inside that adjusted the engine RPM from idle (eco mode) to full tilt run when a load was detected.
It was suggested to start the generators running with eco mode off. Then add the loads - like AC. Then switch to eco mode. Nothing would change until the compressor cycled off... then the genny would drop back to idle. VERY quiet... until all Hell broke loose again when the AC kicked on.
