Very easy set up: up and running on propane within 30 mins. Easy to start, easy oil change (did it at 10pm by flashlight). I can secure generator by looping chain around handle and another large stationary item. I used it during hurricane, we were without power for 10 days. It ran the fridge and freezer with zero load, added box fans and 2 lamps, still with no load. I even got to blow dry my hair. Walmart delivered item quickly, in good condition. The generator is quiet, compared with an open frame. It does need ventilation, otherwise the CO2 monitor will kick in and shut it off. It did this twice before I found the right balance between security and ventilation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After adding oil, used the propane hook-up accessory and the unit started up and ran quietly. The dials are easy to usen and the battery push button start was spot on. The drag handle was sturdy and a good length.

I bought this generator specifically for boondock camping in my new travel trailer. I will also use it for power outages at my home. This is my first generator. I read many independent reviews. Compared other brands, and selected Champion. Out of the box setup and break in was easy. It powers my AC in the travel trailer and everything else with ease. It also has extra capability to link another generator. Quiet, easy to start, and the digital read out lets me know the power status,oil level and CO concentration. Pick a Champion!

This review is based on the five hour break in period. I used propane for the break in, and it started right up. am really pleased with level of sound produced even when under a load. Plugged in our camper and started the air conditioner, worked great! When changing the oil after the break in I didn’t spill one drop thanks to the drain hose. We are going to Alaska this summer and looking forward to using this generator quite a bit.

Bought because of the reputation of the brand. Quite happy with the packaging which gives access to oil changes, has electric start with a standard connection for charging, has a meter which keeps track of all important data, and has a rated output which will rapidly recharge my home battery system. The most important feature is dual fuel. Propane is such a much better choice for a device which will be infrequently used as the issue of gas going bad goes away.

So far, I love my new Champion generator. It's reliable, quiet, easy to move, and doesn't take a lot of space. I'm still basically breaking it in, but I run it every few weeks and it works beautifully, with or without load. A generator must be reliable, and this one is. I'm using propane, haven't run it on gas.

This is our second 4500 dual fuel inverter because we loved the 1st so much. It Came well packaged,.no damage. Clear instructions. We use mostly propane when storms knock out power. We now have 1 for main level, 1 for bsmt. 1st one Ran 42 inch Sub 0, a 19 of side by side , coffee maker, didn't even push this a bit, still ran in Eco mode except for when compressors kicked in. Then back down to Eco. Was used 16 + hours on propane, still have 1/3+ left in tank. Love it! Now I can get rid of gas, pull start 2200 watt H---a brand Inverter which was always a pain to start.

This is my second Champion generator. This one much improved. It is much quieter. The electric start is nice. I've wanted an inverter generator for some time and this one was reasonably priced. I'm only using propane as fuel, but it's good to know I can use gasoline, if necessary.

This thing is insanely powerful! Way more output than I need but I’m not going to complain.

Enjoy the ease of starting this generator and the run time when using propane. This will complement my previous Champion generators on site and backup. Reliable product.
