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.

Well, I take back what I said... 70db is pretty low really. You could
easily use it at home and probably days at the campsite... Sorry...

70 dB is not super quiet, not at all.

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.

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

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...

.....and cost almost ten times as much! Hell, I'm ex-military, not ex-hedge fund manager or writer

John, the point is that if you are thinking of it for camping use
..... and plan to stay at public campgrounds ... they are most likely
not going to allow use of a generator like that. It's too noisy and
an annoyance to other campers. You might not mind, but others will
definitely complain. Heck, I remember back when we were into the RV
thing for a while. Campsites didn't like you running the generator
that came with the camper.

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.

Is your landlord paying the increased taxes from the improvements on her
property? Or, are you turning her into a deadbeat too?
