How loud is it compared to a gas-powered leaf-blower? Would you run it at night or early morning without waking the neighbor?

More like a weed whacker. Depending on how cranky your neighbors are, you should be able to run them at night or early morning without incurring a less than neighborly knock at your front door.

It is fairly quiet, it also depends on the load, if you run at 90% of rated capacity it will be louder than running at 40%. I have ran the generator through the night and it was not bothersome at all.

Actually it is not that loud. The best description is a little louder than a blow dryer and not as loud as a leaf blower. I use it in my house. Hope this helps

It ofcourse makes noise, but less than a lawn mower.You run it outside and I can hear it in the house, but it doesn't bother us.

It's not silent, obviously, and I don't have any other generators to compare it to, but to me it seems relatively quiet. When I run it out on the driveway about 8 feet from the garage with the exhaust pointed away, I can't hear it in my house unless I go upstairs to the room directly over the garage. Even then, it's not particularly loud. I certainly don't need ear protection when I'm standing next to it. There are some videos on youtube you can listen to, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIPeDCumrY

It's loud but not horrible. We have it set up outside on the back porch and we just leave it. I put a $6 plastic tote from Target upside down on top of the blower when we aren't using it to keep it dry.

I use it in an open kitchen. It is not quiet but not too bad. we use it in a condo and I have concerns for the people below, therefore, I would not run it at midnight or early morning. Just trying to be considerate.

The cart is not loud at all :-&gt;. The generators are pretty quiet. Have mine on a back porch during outages. Nobody complains. If you were in an RV, just set it behind and you should not get any complaints compared to others. On economode, they are really quiet.

It's not as loud as the older models. Depends on how sensitive your neighbors are. I hardly notice it and it is right outside a window, but the window is closed.

Not as noisy as gas saw. It seems though, that noise and power are closely related. Not as powerful as gas saw.

I struggle saying any gas driven engine is quiet. It would not prevent me from sleeping at night, my neighbor can hear it but I would not call it obnoxiously loud.

Not much on blower function but on mulching/vacuum it is! Infact my neighbor complaint about the LOUD noise.

It can get pretty loud, but I'm not sure about over powering 4 or 5 running city buses. When we play it in the garage with the door open, neighbors across the street can sing along...lol.

Hi Sandy, Like I said this hardly blew out any cool aire. I wouldn't recommend it all. I didn't use it outdoors, but I can't imagine that it would be any more efficient outside than in. However, I do think that you might not mind the noise as much outdoors as you might indoors.

Not annoying at all. It is not silent by any means. Just put the blower away from where you will be sitting and it should be alright. I have used mine several times indoors.

3-4hrs..and runs blower..5 min...weedeater.. 15-20min...headpruner..10-15min. but none work well after about 5min...slow down. Only Plus, quiet, quick and easy to use, and would probably be ok for small yard/landscaping project that is already well manicured, and you want just a quick easy clean up. my recommendation..DONT GET IT! Try the newer Litium versions, there supposed to last up to 10X longer, but I haven't tried them..I use tried and true GAS tools...Fast, powerful....but loud and sometimes a pain to start.. GOOD LUCK LINDA hope this helped
