Rated at 58db just like the Honda 3300 and for a third the price. Plus costco takes everything back no questions asked.
Ya it should last a long time especially with that venerable ''firman'' engine it's sporting.

I have a 3000 Yamaha. Had remote start installed. I can start it and get my coffee going in the morning without even putting on pants.

Out of all the things people need power for when camping, making coffee pants-less is not one of them.

Yup, turn on the propane or build a fire.

If I were a smoker in your situation, I would probably light up a smoke too! My next camping painting is now going to be 'the pants-less man, lighting a smoke while overlooking his cowboy coffee over a propane firepit in the middle of the RV park.'

This site is awesome for inspiration.

I prefer to go pantsless most of the time.
The wife disagrees...

Have been running Yamaha 1000 at my cabin for lights/tv/computer/battery charger for 10 years now with zero issues. Its quiet, small, light, and a miser on fuel. You get what you pay for and if all you are doing is charging batteries anything over 1K is a waste.

All depends on what you would like to spend. I've only ran a yammy inverter and I'm very happy with it.

Buddy bought one. Way louder than the 3000w Honda Invertor and my Champion 2000w inverter.

Does this generator noise hinder birding?

I'd worry that the flames and heat would melt my Kureg.

I normally require a 25% royalty but I'll extent the old AO members discount and settle at 15%
