I would also look at Yamaha. Last year I stood next to a 3k kw unit and it was so quite that you could carry a normal conversation right next to it.

That would be a Yamaha Inverter Generator - VERY cool (from a sound standpoint); rather UNCOOL from a pricing standpoint.

EF3000iSE or EF3000iSEB

$1700 for the non-boost version; $1900 for the boost version (that can handle more of a surge than the non-boost version).

You can find a lot more power for that kind of money, or a much cheaper generator for that kind of power. Nope, it's not as quiet. Your call.
