Generator dB rating
Is there anywhere that shows a comparison of the quietest generators and their dB rating? I want Honda quiet, but not with Honda money.

You asked for input, rejected all the input, just go buy the Honda.
What he wants will be too heavy no matter what color it's painted.
That’s an interesting comment - I would say it’s a matter of perspective.
I have a 4500W+ generator, it’s not to heavy for me, may be for you, that’s where perspective comes in. Each of us have our own perspective.nickthehunter wrote:

Heres one at Canadian Tire.
That is close to Honda pricing....
No where near close.
The Honda 3200 watt is $3200.
The Champion 5500 watt is $1300.- Heres one at Canadian Tire.

I find the dB ratings to be misleading, not useless. Some sounds within a rating can be more annoying. Then "quiet" generator is relative, A quiet Honda generator is quiet compared to an open frame construction generator. But hardly quiet.
What I speak of is that.... You can carry on a conversation around the Honda ones.Good luck doing that to a Champion.
Which Champion generator are you referring to? Open frame contractor-style or inverter generator?
Nearly every owner of a Champion inverter generator, that I've seen post on various RV forums, loves their Champion.
The open frame ones. Here in Canada, I have yet to see any other style for them.
Have a look here - Champion Inverter Generators - Canada
Never seen any of them in any store here. Unless it is parts, it does not seem to have a dealer listing.swimmer_spe wrote:

That's funny and doubtful.
Honda 2000 - 57db
Champion 2000- 53 db
How can the Honda be quieter with a higher db rating?
I have never seen any of the quiet Champion ones.
Then you need to, before passing judgement.
Also, if you see my first post, it specifically asked for somewhere that compares them. So, I will wait for that before passing judgement.
