So far so good

I purchased this about a week ago I unpackaged it yesterday and did the 5-Hour break-in. It fired up in one pull my brother bought one a couple years ago if it acts anyway like his does I couldn't be any happier

Small size and low noise

Very small size generator and very quiet. I wanted it because can be brought anywhere easily. Highly recommended. I did not need anything big. Wanted to use for emergency and also f camping.,

Great product

The 2500W Portable Inverter Generator Model 201317 seems very well made. I added the oil and it was easy for anyone to do. It started on the first pull and is very quiet. I would recommend this brand of generator.

Love My 2500 Watt Champion

This is my second 2500 watt Inverter/generator I keep one at our cabin and one for the house. Does everything I need from power saws to charging batteries. Starts on first pull and very quiet. I would recommend this to anyone !

Very user friendly

I have used this inverter generator for a power outage to power tv and Wi-Fi, charge cell phone and even plugged fridge up for a hour or 2. Works great so far and very pleased.

Meets my needs

Too many Met Ed outages here in the woods so I have this to keep a few lights on, plus the fridge and my computer. Propane fireplace keeps the house warm when Met Ed fails in the winter.

Ran great!

This inverter started right up, ran like a champ, was relatively quiet, and did the trick for our electrical requirements. Absolutely happy with this purchase so far.

Very Good Compact Generator

One of the main reasons I purchased this particular model was the light weight, and I have found that it is very convenient to move around and store. The build quality and attention to detail is better than what I would have expected for the price, and they actually supply a detailed paper manual in the box. No performance issues, it always starts on the first or second pull and hasn't yet stalled or shutdown unexpectedly. I mainly purchased for short term residential power outages and I was able to use for that purpose this past summer. Powered a small fridge, lights, coffee maker and television for a day so. I ran it in Eco mode during the outage and when my fridge kicked on my lights almost went dark momentarily as the unit went from near zero loading to partial loading. I've since run it in normal mode and the effect is much less pronounced. One of the things that I didn't really consider before I purchased the unit was Champion's recommendation in the manual to ground the unit to a rod driven into the earth. This wasn't an issue for hooking it up at the house but if I were camping or tailgating, it wouldn't be feasible....I suspect very few people actually ground it properly

WOW

Bought this unit tonight and it is currently running its break in time! I bought 3 gens tonight, 2 Champs and 1 Honda and I’ll tell you that both Champs fired up on the first pull where as the Honda took 4! The moment the 2500 started and the 4000 kicked off I was blown away on how quiet they both were! I’m thinking we got us a couple dandy’s here! I haven’t had to test the safety aspect of the unit but I lie that it detects the carbon monoxide and shuts down! Ultra light weight, easy to move around and seems to be quite efficient!
