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.


70dB is hardly super quiet. My home genny runs at 60 dB in test mode
and 66 dB at load, or about the same, to my ears, as a neighbor
running his lawn tractor. 70 dB is significantly louder but not
annoyingly so during a power outage, since others will be running
them, too.

Did you pay your taxes yet or is that an expense the rest of us bear?
