SUPER quiet!

I purchased this because I needed a quieter power option for my concession trailer but with enough power to run my commercial equipment. This is the quietest one I found with the wattage I need and I did not want to mess with two smaller units and a parallel kit. I wanted the dual fuel but it's sold out everywhere. Very good quality!
I bought this based on 4500/3700 watt capacity to run my 15000 BTU AC in RV, and still have a little headroom for other items. First I broke it in a little then ran two hair dryers at 3100 watts with no problem, so I’m confident it will do the job. And it’s really quiet when idling or low load. Today I showed my wife how to operate in case I’m not around in power outage so she can keep the refrigerators running., The electric start, and remote start make that easy.
The batter was already hooked up to the cables when I attempted to hook them up. I was not able to use electric start, but started on first pull with manual system. Ran perfectly and charged just fine. I plugged in the battery charger over night and I still can't start the inverter with electric start. I wonder if the battery is bad and can't take a charge.
Originally bought the Generac iq3500 the unit was heavier with no wheels. Not very portable, 2 people needed just to move position. Sent it back and bought this. Nice portable generator with more power, wheels and extending handle. Starts first time using electric starter. Test run over the weekend worked great!
