Most of the newer inverter generators are really quiet.
The days when Honda was night and day better have passed. Still top of the line quality but the difference has shrunk dramatically.
100% correct ! Honda is still "King of the Hill", but there are many challengers including Harbor Freight Predator and Champion. (The current "dark horse" is Westinghouse. A bit early to say how their durability is, but initial reports are good.)
A lot also depends on what SIZE generator you need. The Honda EU2200i will start most A/C units, but not all. Staying within the Honda line, there is the EB2800i and the EU3000iS. The EB2800i is louder (it is more of a "work" generator) and the EU3000iS is heavier (131 lbs)
The Westinghouse iGen2500 is only a few pounds heavier than the EU2200i and about the same noise level. More expensive than the (smaller) Predator or Champion models.
