Supposedly, this one is 'Super Quiet', with a 70 dB noise level. If I use it at home, it would be
only for a few absolute necessities - with time management. I primarily wanted something I could
throw in the pickup for camping trips where electricity isn't available.

70 dB is not super quiet, not at all.

I was comparing to other portable generators... Like I said, mine is in
the low eighties, but it's a 6000.


These are reasonably quiet at 53 to 59 dB depending on load level:

70dB is approximately 10 times louder than 59 dB.

Even the small Hondas get annoying after awhile but at 29 pounds are
easy to carry and load into a truck.


Yeah, but you can stand next to one of those EU1's and have a normal
conversation. You can even sleep with one say, 30+ feet away but it
costs a lot to have that luxury...
