Model #201280

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had just purchased this a week ago and it runs amazing. I have no complaints on the product. I like that. You have a few different options to run the generator if fuel isn't an option. I find it essential for the projects I'm doing and it makes my life easier.

Amazing Generator

Purchased this product for hurricane season, easy installation instructions, took a little time to put together, but worth every minute, instructions were precise and easy to follow, take your time , followed startup instructions for gas operations, forgot to place choke switch back to run position and it shutdown pretty quick , but after second try she fired up like "Champ" , still do not forget to acquire an 12AWG wire and copper rod for grounding! Love this model it performs above and beyond expectations. Must remember to run dry existing fuel for extended non use, here in Florida the season (hurricane) runs from June through November, Then seven months of non usage so follow those guidelines for storage. Love that it is dual fuel system, Not as loud as I thought it would be. overall just after about 2 hours of run time super satisfied with performance. Recommend anyone with a need for a generator buy this product or check out other products too on the website, you won't be disappointed!

Life Saver

We just experienced our first Hurricane Beryl, which so far have been out of power for 3+ days. We needed an affordable generator to maintain our necessity items. This generator has been able to run our fridge, freezer, portable AC unit, fans, and charge all of our equipment with ease. I highly recommend to always get any generator with propane option, or something other than just gas. It has been almost impossible to find gas but fairly easy for propane. With all those devices on a full tank we get a good 10hrs of runtime. Highly recommend purchasing the necessary adapter cables for the 2 30 amp sockets so you can put the larger items on those and the regular house plug ins with your smaller stuff. So far an amazing life saver!!!

An electrifying product.

The headline might be a little cliche but it illustrates the quality in the Champion Dual fuel generator model 201280. I mainly use my generator for power generation during power outages during bad storms and sometimes to do work away from the grid. The dual fuel capability is the selling point for me which makes it much easier and cleaner to use. It works great, looks great, and makes life and the job much easier.

Full Hookup for RV - YAY!

I purchased this generator after hurricane Helene ravished through western NC. I was not disappointed! The unit fully provides all the power I need for my RV to function normally. I can hookup directly to the generator without converters and power up everything from the microwave, electric fireplace and air conditioner. I appreciate this ability. I also love the flexibility of propane or gas usage. Propane stores easily for long periods of time and is easier to find when everyone else is running on gas. Fuel can be challenging to find in emergency situations and gas is unstable after a while on the shelf.

Great purchase!!

Bought this to replace an old genset that stopped working. (Not a Champion!!) Well packaged, easy to assemble and started just as the instructions said it would. Have two other 2000 watt Champions that are quality products as well! Ready for summer storm power outages!!!

Excellent value for the money - lots of thoughtful features

This is my first generator. I wasn't looking to power a home, but just have something for emergencies. I was especially drawn to this unit because I can use propane and/or gasoline. I'll keep a spare tank in the house, and between a couple 5 gallon cans and 3 propane tanks, this should last awhile without having to get to a gas station or propane station. It's a great design, modern looking, and lots of nice little details, like heavy caps for the propane hose and connections, nice wheels, and a handle that swings out of the way for storage. Is it wrong to wish for a power outage? HA. Definitely hope not, but I feel more prepared now. Took me 10 minutes to set it up, and was running with no issues. I was also pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is. Overall, 5 stars.

Great to ease our minds for Montreal winter power failures

We bought this generator for ourselves for Christmas, as last year we were without power on Christmas day, and Easter weekend. We had family gatherings both times! Now, we have piece of mind, that if the power goes out, we will be able to have out hot meale, and have the heating in the house. We used it for the first time last week, when the temperatures went to -16C (-30 windchill) as the power went out with the winds. Easy set up, started first pull. Very happy. Hopefully we won't have to use it a lot for that, but we will use it for camipng as well.

First generator after 20 years of marriage & 3 tee

I bought this today due to a power outage following a storm. We needed a generator for our fridge, run a fan, and cell phone charging. It ran for 3 hours and shut off during the break in period ( alternating power usage). Fridge was on but did not cool the food ( we have a basic fridge w freezer door at top and 3 fridge shelves. No ice maker). So far so good during the break in period.
