Maybe the OP likes to camp out in the middle of nowhere. If so, any generator the OP can tolerate themselves, noise-wise, is OK to buy and use.
The noise police always assume that a person interested in a "contractor grade generator" will be using it in a campground. That sometimes may not be the case. :S

To the OP; You have been warned. Do not spend your money the way that you want to. Do not let people know that you even considered a modern open frame generator that sounds nothing like the dozens of contractor generators that I have operated. Just because the US government recognizes that it meets their noise requirements, it does NOT meet the requirements of your fellow forum members. Take heed or expect everyone to hate you for owning such a device.
The good news is that it will not be stolen, with all the much more desirable red and blue generators silently making power in the parking lots of the world.

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.

if it's to be used for home backup power or camping at motor races or in the desert, SURE.
if it's to be used in a campground or near neighbors, HELL NO!:E
