This Generator is very quiet, light and compact: all features I need for portable power to run power tools at job sites that have no power available... has always started on the first or second pull since i got it...
The generator is a good value, starts easily and I like the status display. The only issues are there is no hours of use display and even though it has a variable load throttle it seems a little loud even at no load. I have a sound meter and measured the sound level closer to 57 dBA at no load at the standard 7 meters (23 ft away) instead of the 52 dBA at 25% it is rated. Odd thing is that is doesn't get much loader at full load which measured 61 dBA? One issue could be is that the idle speed is set to high (it also is not running smoothly even with fresh gas) or maybe it will get quieter after break-in? After break-in if this is still happening I may take it to be adjusted.
