Not too much sound. So far, I have used it for 30 seconds, so can't say much but they insist that I leave a review, so here it is.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far I am largely impressed, but things to note
on September 3, 2025

I bought this generator after deliberating long and hard. It was a tough purchase because it is a lot of money for something just used in the event of a hurricane. That said, so far I am pretty impressed, but there are a couple of items that should be brought up.
The generator is built quite nice. It is definitely VERY heavy, but I feel like there was some thought and effort on the product. I like the covers on each side and how they latch. I really like how the oil drain was connected to a hose, as well as the carb gas drain (the gas drain was particularly nice). I really like all of the information provided on the panel, including the fuel level which is really nice.
Some of the things that were disappointing considering the positives:
1. There is an oil filter on this unit. It is in the exact same place as the DFc model however there is some sort of big cylinder directly in the way in front of it. I am not sure what this is, but the DFc doesn't seem to have it from the videos I have seen, so I assume it has to do with the Natural Gas part of the unit. It is a little bit of a pain to remove as it requires a 10mm wrench and has limited movement. On such a well thought out generator, this seems to be a rushed item and makes the access to the filter a bit inconvenient.
2. This generator wasn't cheap but came with quite a bit of stuff. The one thing that it didn't come with that I was disappointed about was a cover. This was a HUGE miss. I plan on storing this in my garage and I am going to have to buy my own cover now.
3. It would be nice if the dipstick was magnetic to help keep the engine oil as clean as possible
4. The eco mode barely changes the idle speed at all (it may not even change it at all). I don't know what this switch does at this point as I expected a serious reduction in RPMs to help save gas (I was testing this with no load at all).

It seems to be a very good generator. I just finished my 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil. Despite the disappointments above, I am hoping that overall it will prove itself to be a great unit.

Quiet and easy to use!

I was surprised at how quiet this thing was! And it is packed with a lot of great features that other generators in the same price range don’t have. Push to start is a nice to have and worked right out of the box. I also really like that it has the dual fuel option. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

Just fired up my new generator and tried everything out. It works great so far and I do like all the features, especially fuel gauge and low oil light. Very easy to start.

Meets my travel trailer needs

Had the generator for a week and it works great. Remote start/stop is wonderful for morning coffee making without going outside. Fits under the tonneau cover on my F150. Max height really is 20.5 inches....perfect. Only minor negative is strapping down the unit so it doesn't slide around. Manual says to only use the handles on the top and NOT wrap a strap (or anything) around the body of the unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful and pretty quiet

Just bought this. Success was in the fact that I can run everything on my Grey Wolf 26KF camp trailer at the same time without overloading. Pretty quiet too.
