Yep!
well aware of the constant peak think and became so the hard way (experience) LOL.
From memory the specs say the noise level is 68DB and I think my Honda is 58-60DB. Whatever, when the Honda is Eco mode it is quieter, however under load it is just as noisy as the Taurus is under load. I just get either of them as far as possible away from everyone and face the exhaust out into the bush, or place them behind a shield of some kind like a big log, mound of dirt etc etc. Never had any complaints re same.
OUTPUT - A radio electronics dude that I know tipped me off to the Taurus Gennie at ALDI that I ended up buying. I had had discussions with him re a previous Chinese generator that I had had that 'fixed up' a guys battery charger when he insisted in plugging it into this generator. As a result of those discussions I purchased the Honda 2.0i
So when he mentioned the ALDI Taurus I reminded him of our previous conversations about generators from Asia and he said that people he was involved via the Radio world had tested one for use with radio communications equipment and couldn't find any reason not to use it.
Same guy then suggested that should I buy one, then to connect a multi meter to it and watch for fluctuations in output. I did this and it sat
rock steady on 240v compared to the Honda which jumped around a tad and the household supply which flitted between 220 and 250v.
No, I have not personally tested or had it sine wave tested, just taken at face value what I was told as I had no reason to do otherwise.
