Does anybody have the HarborFreight 2500 Inverter Gen?

http://www.harborfreight.com/2500-peak2200-running-watts-47-hp-125cc-portable-inverter-generator-61169.html#.UzMRFIXTdpM Wonder if it will start and run my 13.5 AC? If you have one, how is it?

based on HF's published specs for this generator, 64db for an inverter generator is waayy too loud.
heck, the open-frame Champion 3500 is rated at 65db and that's at full speed!

for that much money, you should be able to find a refurb Champion 2000w unit. much quieter than this noise machine.
i've never seen an inverter generator that loud, especially for a unit in that wattage range.
