Best inverter generator 5-6kw range, Honda EU65is

[Roil]

I am looking for a low noice generator 230/50Hz in the 5-6kw power range.

It must be capable of remote starting from my Victron inverter and, even more important, start in minus 25° C.

I currently have one of these China diesel genset of rather low quality. Yes I do get it to start in cold weater with the help of a DIY installed diesel glow plug, but it would never start on a simple command from an inverter. And now, after 150hours, it consumes motoroil with an alarming increase.

Minimum noice is always important in the quite mountain area thus why I am looking for an inverter genset. It will be placed in a small genset house with even more sound insulation.

It looks like the Honda EU65is is almost alone in this power range, is that the case?

Any views on this is appreciated?

Diesel engines NEED to be kept loaded to at least 50% , or the engine develops "wet stack"

Propane fumigation is one way to help avoid that issue, but the regulator is now another layer of complexity, and at low temps, it does not feed well.

For long term use, look into a 1800 RPM diesel, you may be able to get a low temp kit, or it may be easier to have it autostart once a day to keep itself warm.
