I did alot of research online, looked alot of different generators. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 was supposed to be the most quiet with the lowest decibel rating, at the best price. When I got it set up and started up, it was obvious I had made a good purchase. (Oh, BTW, my wife thinks the remote start is cool!) We plan to use this with our new RV and plan to do as much remote "boondocking" as possible. This requires a generator strong enough to run the AC but quiet enough for us to sleep. I think we got it!
