Did it come with heavy duty ear muffs? The beauty of the EU-2000 is
you can whisper and be heard standing 10 feet away from it ... even
closer when it's running at the low RPM when the load is 6 amps or less.

That is what makes those inverter models nice. They do not need to run
at 3600 RPM all the time to get the frequency right. They just run
hard enough to support the load

What is also nice is that you can leave it running in the "ECO" mode
(low RPM) pretty much all the time. It will stay at low RPM (very
quiet) as long as the load is about 6 amps or less. If a sudden demand
for more amps occurs ... like a refrigerator compressor turning on and
requiring higher starting current momentarily, the Honda will
automatically kick up the RPM for a sec until the compressor starts and
then drops back to low RPM after the compressor starts. During Wilma, I
was powering a full sized refrigerator, a couple of lights, a TV and a
Direct TV receiver. It ran 24/7 for over a week and I only had to
fill it with gas twice a day, once in the morning and again once at
about 9 pm.
