Love the remote start

Bought to go in the back of the truck to power our camper. Does a great job. I open the windows of my cap and run with little noise.

Fantastic Generator

I purchased this for my use with fifth wheel. This thing rocks! It's seriously impressive how quiet this thing is even when maxed out on load. It runs my single A/C and microwave at the same time with a little juice to spare too. The remote start is awesome too. This was one of the main reasons for purchasing this particular unit since we boondock often. It's annoying leaving the trailer to manually start a generator in the morning so with the remote on this it's a simple press of a button. Makes it so easy to get the coffee brewing without ever leaving the trailer. I highly recommend this generator. I did a ton of research on similar units and this one in my opinion trumps the competition.

Everything I was looking for!

We are doing an extended cross country camping trip with a lot of boondocking. We needed an inverter generator that would power everything in our trailer and this unit by Champion fits all of our needs. After a lot of research the clear winner was the Champion 4500w! I can run my 13,500BTU AC, our 900w microwave, the frig, and all the lights ALL at the same time!

quiet and efficient

we have a sprinter van and i have shore power, we have mounted generator off the rear hitch reciever on a stow away hitch, so it will swing over out of the way. it is the most quiet and hardly any vibration at all, starts easy and did i say its quiet? i would buy this over other expensive name brands any day.!!

Bought for our concession trailer. (Initial Thoughts)

We bought this to power the hotdog roller and bun warmer in our concession trailer. Just started break in today so we haven't put any load on it yet. In total, we'll be requiring around 3000 Watts of running power (and that's with both appliances on high temperature). This thing should provide plenty of juice to get the job done. First impression: wow this thing is sturdy and quiet! The controls are very intuitive and the remote was paired as per the included instructions. (Side note: I had to manually start it and run for about 30 minutes before I could get the remote paired). It is a sleek design and not cumbersome at all! The two handles on the top make it very easy to load and unload onto the trailer tongue. The fold out handle and wheels make it convenient to maneuver into our garage every night so nobody steals this beauty! So far, so good! Stay tuned for a follow up review once we start using this everyday for our hotdog vending business.

Addressed a Need

We purchased this unit from a local retailer during a major power outage in our area. It was the last unit left on the shelf so it made the choice easy. Down side - We weren't sure the 4500 watts would be enough to run both refrigerators and a TV or similar combo. We likely would have purchased something with more capacity had it been available. Upsides - Unit is portable enough to use both at home during outages and also easy to transport to company promos or when we camp. Easy to set up. Started right up first try with remote start. Runs quiet.

Just bought it this month

Bought this new from a generator dealer shop in CA. They ordered it for me, and it came promptly. The shop did the prep work for me, and ran it before I got there. I like the sleek look of it so far. I Have used it for a couple hours, and it has performed admirably so far. It is a higher output than our old Coleman, so it's heavier. The result of that is, I don't think I'll be loading it by just lifting it anymore. I'll have to devise a hoist or ramp. I do like the remote start capability. It's working well. also like having a gas gauge. It's actually quieter than our old smaller one. I ran this in the back of my pickup bed, and discovered that the monoxide detector is pretty sensitive. It kept shutting down the machine because the fumes settled in the truck bed, and the fact that I was operating a big gas chainsaw right in the area with little airflow. That told me I needed a fan out where I was working. Chainsaws produce a lot of monoxide.

First time user

I've never used a generator before in my life, and was up and running in 5 minutes. Ran a good-sized trailer with a bunch of high-consuming appliances plugged in and in use simultaneously. Super easy setup and has an intuitive layout/design. Having a bit of trouble getting remote start to work, but remote off is flawless so I think it's user error

Great Purchase

Currently the product was purchased to use to run a camper. Not only is this model super quiet, it was a nice touch to have electric and remote start. This is a great buy for someone who is looking to not make much noise out at a campground or an event!

Great generator so far. Would buy again.

Currently building a home and use this generator to power my camper that I am living in during the build. I've owned it for months and it runs many hours a day with no hiccups. Remote start is great and has further range than expected. It is very quiet for its size, but the only negative thing I have to say about it is that the CO detector is very sensitive which makes it difficult to further sound proof or protect the generator from the elements. I'll continue working on ways to redirect the exhaust. Overall great generator, I've recommended to my family and will continue to recommend.
