I need a backup generator that will be an upgrade from my noisy 5.5 KW Onan generator. The Onan is fairly low noise, but it still rates a 69 dB(A) where the Honda come in at 52 to 58 dB(A). When sound travels forever on a cold winter night. I am looking for something that can do 120/240V, and the Onan is only 120v. The pricetgage of the Honda eu 7000is is a jaw dropping $5K. Is there a generator out there with 7KW, 120/240V that's as fuel efficient as the Honda, and less than 60 dB(A) that comes in significantly less than the Honda? Quiet is essential, as I can hear a mouse fart from a mile away in the dead of winter.
