The difference between a generator that has an inverter, like part # 289-SUA2000i-2, and a generator that doesn't have an inverter, like part # 333-0004, is that the inverter makes it so that the generator can supply power for both AC and DC applications. Generators without the inverter can only supply AC power (like for typical household use). The inverter generators also tend to provide cleaner power and are a little lighter as well.
The generators with built-in inverters are extremely useful for people who have products that run off of DC power which is generally connected to a battery. If you don't have a use for DC power then you would mainly be benefiting from the more efficient use of fuel and a lighter product.
