“but this one can be hooked in parallel with another for 2kW is you had to have that. “

Do not do that - if they get out of phase, you will fry everything.

My company actually tried to invent a device to allow that behavior - two multi-million-dollar labs went down in flames.

YMMV.

Honda makes a special cable for the connection, which I would guess synchs the phase. It was designed to be able to do this, so I imagine it works.

They want a good chunk of change for that cable, as well as another 1$k for the 2nd generator. Cannot imagine needing 2kw, so no way for me. Merely interesting as the cost for higher capacity generators climbs fairly quick, and portability declines in pace.
