About Super Quiet Portable Inverter Generator
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
76% were satisfied with the quiet operation, but 24% were bothered
Under partial and full load, the RPMs of the generator are lower than the EU2000i, making it quieter or producing the same noise.
At eco throttle with minimal load, the generator is very quiet. However, the noise increases as we approach its 15A running load capacity.
The generator is much quieter than expected and no hearing protection is needed even when standing right next to it.
I expected the generator to be quieter, but found that the noise level is lower than non-quiet models.

71% found it easy to start up
I tried other engines to save money but found the Honda engine's ease of starting highly reliable and easier to use.
71% appreciated the long runtime
When running on low loads like an entire house at night time when only the fridge runs, I can run the generator for 10+ hours on 1 gallon of gas.
69% appreciated the high power output, but 31% found it insufficient
I can easily run multiple devices like WiFi modem, router, laptop, outdoor lighting circuit, device charging, and refrigerator with room to spare.
I ran the generator for over 12 hours on less than 2 gallons of gas and it powered my side by side frig, fan, and TV. It also had no problem running the air conditioner, 8000 but, or 1800 watts.
I discovered that the voltage output has more electrical noise than expected, causing the radio receiver noise floor to increase by about +10 dB on some radio operating frequencies (typically on 80m band in my experience).
74% found maintenance straightforward
Every motor-driven mechanical item requires maintenance, and most maintenance is done if you want the unit to last and work when you most need it.
71% liked the fuel efficiency
I have observed the exhaust temperature under different loads (economy mode) and it has helped me determine the fuel efficiency of the generator.
