With 2000W max and 1600W continuous on the eu2000,
it looks like the largest electric motor possible is a 3/4HP.

I use the bigger EU3000is in my mobile shop. It's starting two 8000 BTU
window AC units and a 4.2 cuft bar fridge simultaneously just fine, most of
the time. Sometimes the window ACs compressors get locked, somehow, and it
trips the overload IC if it doesn't start in a few seconds. I start it by
itself and everything is fine.

I started out with the EU1000i which ran one 6000 BTU AC fine but I needed
more power for more AC to keep it cool in the 100F heat of SC in August.
The twin 8000's keep it cool even at mid day in the sun. I can drop one
offline to save fuel in Spring and Fall or evenings, which is nice.

I had some trouble with the little engine in the 1000i. The Honda dealer's
motorcycle mechanics seemed puzzled, so I took it to a small engine shop
that offered to fix it. They found the exhaust valve wasn't closing all
the way and replaced it. Runs great, now, but the 3000i runs MUCH slower
(1200 RPM pulling both ACs and fridge after initial starting on Econo
mode). Don't hesitate to upgrade to the 3000is. It's a much better genset
than the suitcase models. Mine has about 900 hours on it now....even on
the same spark plug.
