Need generator opinions

Hi all,
My buddy is looking for a generator. I have the hf 3500 and I'm soso on it. He wants about the same size. What are your opinion on what to get? I also mentioned getting 2 smaller ones to parallel. Thanks in advance

What is he wanting to do? One AC, I would get 3500W. Two AC’s you’ll need 5000/5500 watts. Is he going to be out where no one will be bothered by noise?

He's planning to go to parks(without hookup) and boondock once or twice a year. He only has one ac. I told him a 3500 would be good for that.

I have a Wen 3800 Inverter that is working out awesome.

I can run both my AC units (have Easy Starts on both) at the same time with power to spare.
