DO NOT RECOMMEND

we have bought and returned this specific one 6 times now. it doesn't even last a week before it starts shutting off on us. CO2 sensor maybe. but we can't afford a more expensive one so we just kept exchanging it. we plugged camper in and did oil changes daily and it wouldn't let us run microwave, coffee pot or toaster without shutting off. I do NOT recommend buying. it definitely needs to be tested by manufacturer..I wish Sam's would sell a different/better one for the same price.

Remote area

Served as valuable tool to run a rotary hammer drill in a remote area. Needed for drilling in concrete.

Saved from storm.

Got it just in time,as storm knocked out electric power for several days. Able to provide power for freezer,refrigerator, fan,tv,and lamps with power leftover. Hundreds of people in area lost food. I saved my ribeye steaks in freezer.

Just what we needed during power failure

Worked well. We used it to power a stand up freezer, refrigerator, and electronic devices while power was out. Best part is we used propane so no need to deal with gas causing start issues next time we need to use.

Super product

This generator was a lifesaver during tropical storm Helene! It allowed us to avoid food losses in our refrigerator and freezer. The propane option was also a plus as finding gas during the storm aftermath was difficult. It's a real comfort knowing we have this backup.

Great buy

Best deal for Florida. Can use propane and gas to cover hurricane season and also ready for camping with the 30amp plug, noise is amazing lower from all the gas powered ones I had. Also the yellow and black color is my teams color. Oh I almost forgot the 3 year warranty you won't get it for n any other generator.

This product is a good deal!

Using the Champion Model #201280 as a back up power source. I have tested the unit, it was difficult to start and the CO Shield did shut it off once, but I am overall satisfied.

Good product for a good value.

Assembly was easy with all components fitting properly. The dual fuel feature is an important feature which could be a great option when fuel choices may be limited. Easy starting.

Easy to use

This generator is very easy to use and performs well under a full load. I tested it with a full load for my RV and it has no issues providing power for my AC, water heater and oven.

Quality Product

Bought this generator in preparation for bad storm. Great assembly and start up instructions. Started on the first pull. Wired it to my breaker panel and easily powered all my 120v breakers. Engine was extremely quite. Very pleased with my purchase.
