Another Champion Generator Question

[TurnThePage]

I'm seriously thinking about upgrading my old Yamaha EF2800i open frame inverter generator. It's just too loud at 68db.

I'm looking at the Champion 3100 (100204) dual fuel, electric start model. It claims sound output at 58db, but doesn't specify exactly "when or where" it's making that racket. Is that at full load, similar to one the red/blues?

I'm also thinking about mounting it on a Stromberg Carlson tongue cargo rack, which will put it pretty high in the air, so the quieter the better.

Well I ordered this 3400W remote start model. I'll report back just how much quieter and more capable it is than my current open frame Yamaha EF2800i (I hope).

Thanks for the input! 🙂

I also have a 3100, and previously owned a Honda EU3000is. It isn't as quiet as the Honda EU3000is, but not by much. If you are somewhere where the Champion is too loud, you shouldn't run the Honda either. It's close to as quiet as you get, with a 3000 watt generator.

I have a 3100 and there is little difference idle to full power.
