Couple questions...If you over load a generator what happens? Does the appliance (whatever) just not work, does everything running off it go out? Also most quiet ones say there app. 55-60's db for noise. How much is that, I have no idea. In relation roughly how loud is a typical walk-behind lawn mower? That would be a good gauge for me to estimate lets say the mower running on fast, how you typically would use it.
