this gen has a better value than any other on the market for 2018. although it may have a quieter muffler sound as reported, someone said it makes 'mechanical' noise. the reason for this is due to the fact that this generator is a brute, upper middle-class, gen set. it's a chinese generator with all the bells and whistles for $750, so a little noise is acceptable. upon start up it was not as quiet as a honda conventional gen 6500watt running at full load, but it costs hundreds, not thousands. no generator of any useful size is quiet when your haulin' the mail, everyone should know that by now. i even have stood on the exhaust side of 2 honda inverter gens running in tandem. it was noisy, dam noisy. quiet campground generator? yea, right! an inverter gen might be quiet if your plugging in a single light bulb. who want to be elbow to elbow in a campground anyway? it will be interesting to see how long this gen can dominate the market in the years to come.
After the storm came through I decided it was time to be more prepared for power outages. After a lot of research on generators in general I found this guy and I couldn't be happier. Everything about it is easy, runs great and plenty of power. The only negative review I saw prior to buying it was "it's too loud" people it's an outdoor generator be real. This thing is great!
I purchased this for hurricane Florence. We dodged a bullet and didn't need it. Push to start is a great feature and works like a charm. Hopefully I won't have to use this, but in the event I have to, I know that it will make things bearable.
