Roy,
Have you had a chance to try the new generator out yet? If so, how is it working???

I noticed the "Brutepower" generator in the link you provided does not seem to list noise level... usually means it is LOUD! Looks like a perfectly good generator, same as all the others of that type (open frame, contractor type).
Actually, the Brute isn't that loud at all!!! I started searching for a generator after our family ruin and had settled on either the Champion at TSC (3650w/4500w I think it is) or the Brute that Roy was looking at. I did miss the Ryobi that he ended up going with, but I mentioned the Brute to my neighbor who just bought a trailer. He bought one and is pretty happy with it. I actually bought one also as it was on sale plus an 11% rebate from Menards. I went over to check his, and while it was running (no load) just inside the garage door (open), we were still talking just a few feet away. Now I need to decide if it is worth keeping or not (still haven't opened it!) based on how much we may or may not use it.... I leaned toward the Brute because of the B&S motor vs a China motor, and the higher start up watts. No idea if it was the right things to base a decision on. Only time will tell!
