How loud is an inverter generator compared to a normal generator?

At 25% load, inverter generators produce 48-55 dBA — quieter than a normal conversation. Conventional generators produce 65-80 dBA — as loud as a vacuum cleaner. At a campsite, the difference is dramatic.

Can I parallel two inverter generators for more power?

Yes — Honda, Yamaha, and most brands offer parallel kits that combine two identical units. Two Honda EU2200i units produce 4,400W combined, enough to run a large refrigerator and other essentials simultaneously.
