Many members must do a search on Champion every day and post the same negative comments without any consideration of how the OP intends to use their generator. Red, Yellow, or Blue generators can all be heard and be irritating in the wrong place at the wrong time. A Honda going full bore ten feet from one's open window is more irritating than a Champion humming a block away. Common sense folks. That particular generator is a real bargain for home backup and Walmart overnighting, Great for a cool lunch and nap in a rest stop. I have run mine while driving to pre-cool my trailer on the way to a campground with full hookups where the Champion will be truly silent. Something the other brands are not, when they are running.
