Great product

Yes and things were great it really worked wonderfully we couldn't be happier. We hope we won't have to use again anytime soon but if we do hopefully it will work as good as it did the first time

Whole home power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very powerful generator. This is a massive portable generator with massive power. Runs my ac and other appliances throughout my home. I am very pleased with this product

Great quality and value!

I live in Houston, Texas and am tired of being without power every time a strong storm blows in or a hurricane. I bought the Champion Tri-Fuel generator so I won't have to go without power.

I'd buy again.

I haven't put the Champion 15000 watt Tri Fuel to use yet. I bought for hurricane power outages. But I did run it for five hours during break in and it ran everything I will need.

Model #201161

Used Tri fuel 12kw as a standby for the recent winter storm in Texas. The first use was smooth and easy. Started right up and handled the entire home.

Solid alternative to a whole home generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought as a backup generator for my house after having tons of outages. Super easy setup, affordable for the power output it provides and powers my entire house in the summer with AC running no problem. CO Shield can be a little finicky at times but overall works great. I enjoy being able to use the different fuel types. I always have spare propane tanks laying around so its nice to be able to use that in a pinch until I can get to the gas station.

Beast of a backup!

We only had this bad boy for a few weeks but its been an absolute game-changer for our auto shop. Few months ago a fire broke on a local on our building and we haven't had power since. We have been renting a different type of generator but it was just costing too much money. The Champion 12,000w Tri-Fuel was really easy to assemble and to operate. It comes with everything ready to go (Oil and hoses for propane or natural gas) all you need is the gas. Although it could be a little loud at 78dba from 23 ft, its louder than a conversation. think vacuum cleaner on steroids. Fine for outdoors, but youll want ear protection up close or camping. Overall, this generator earns a well deserved 4.8/5 stars from me. Its rugged, versatile and built to last.

prefect for home power outage

Put oil in and started right up. I used propane; it came with fancy natural gas and propane hoses, so I hooked it up to my 30-gal tank. I have it in the shed covered up now, waiting for a power outage, might do a test run when I have time, but for now, it runs as it should.

Had some issues with the CO sensor

Upgraded from a Champion 9200 watt unit. Bought for home use. Great generator but overly sensitive CO sensors are out on these units.
