This will be used primarily for camping trips and, if necessary,
emergencies.


Contractor generators are very loud... You will not want to use this
for
home use. We used to use one and had to put it in the detached garage
and run cables to the house or it would keep the whole neighborhood
awake. They are made for construction sites, hope you are not trying
to
cheap out on a tool, cause if it's home generation you are looking
for,
you probably bought the wrong tool...

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 isn't close to being quiet. For comparison, the well known
Honda EU-2000i has a 53/59 db noise level (depending on load).
Every 3 db increase *doubles* the noise level.

Yeah, but the well known Honda costs right at $1000, and provides half the power as this $279 model.
