The rating on the HF of 63db is at 50% load. I think the Hondas 53db is at either no load or 25% so at least HF is being honest.
For my ears, anything louder than 60db (under load) in a crowded RV park gets irritating real quick

I was at HF a while back and saw these. On the box was a sticker that said "warranty void if oil level not checked every two hrs while running". (Or maybe that was the gen next to this one of the same brand) Basically no low oil shutdown.
That worries me.
Good point. The Hondas (when new) have a yellow sticker attached to the pull-starter that says there's no oil in the engine. No warnings about damage or anything. Low oil--it'll automatically quit running; no oil--it won't start.
