I have the same generator that Strike Zone has and second the loudness BUT since it is loud if someone tries to help themselves to it when its running I will know. Also, Chuck is spot on with the generator he posted. That will run the whole house just fine.

I put in the Gentran panel years ago and bought the Costco generator for about $500. It runs all the lights in the house, the furnace fan (gas furnace), the fridge, and of course the DirecTV box and tv. Can't be without football during an outage. It has been money well spent a couple of times.

The Chinese made generators are wayyy cheaper and work just fine.
