Menards sells a Wen 3500 that is pretty nice. It even has a built in Battery charger. The noise level is 67 dB at idle and 74dB at full throttle. The real beauty is it is only $278. or $312 with taxes. I just bought one and filled it with oil and gas and on the third pull it was purring on my garage floor. This week will see it purring in my boat at night. One other thing that was not answered in you question is you cannot use a generator for Big heads. They are defentily spooked by them. You have to use battery lights for them..go get'm
