Going through my YouTube feed, and I came across this. Looks like there will be new competition for the RED and BLUE generators.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdUSO8kFKVQ&feature=youtu.behttp://www.generac.com/about-us/news-and-articles/2015/ssshhhhh-portable-power-for-outdoor-enthusiasts

Interesting. I wonder how reliable the IQ will be?Also, I don't mean to be negative but, I would have been more impressed if it was an independent test. Not a Generac dealer controlling the situation. I noticed they didn't show the 'load' being applied to the Generac or the Honda. Why not place a cube heater or something similar beside the generator being tested?Maybe it will be competition to the Red & Blue, depending on the price and real world usage. JMOI like options when buying things.Thanks for posting.

We will have to wait and see.Comming out in Sept and already has 53 stelar reviews?

You beat me to that posting ChooChoo.I saw an add on that thing in trailer life and it claimed to be quieter than the red one. :h

If you take a look at some of the other FitRV technical videos you will notice that he is quite analytical in his testing and not afraid to be truthful. Although the manufacturer did have some "control" of the situation, I suspect he would not have posted the video if he was not sure that it was a fair and balanced test. He may have simply left out some of the relevant info about the testing procedure to make the video more interesting.

Generac does make some dead reliable generators and I bet this one would be too. However i'm sticking with my Champion 3100 inverter as it is really quiet and I only need one to power my camper.
