So far very satisfied

I use this to run the AC in my pop up camper. I had a 2000W generator from another brand before, and it would run everything except the AC, which is pretty important in the summer months. I got this and the lifting system on my camper broke before I even took it out of the box. It took me about two weeks shy of a year before I fixed the camper. First time out, I prepped the Champion Generator, and it started on the first pull. An additional bonus was that it ran for 14 hours before requiring refueling (previous generator would only go about seven hours, so on cold nights I'd have to get up in the middle of the night to refuel it). So far, I'm very happy - it's relatively quiet for the size, and is great for my small camper.

What a great generator/inverter

I use this to power my custom made RV. It is fairly lightweight and super easy to use. It provides enough electricity to power a fridge, electric coffee maker, electric blankets and a space heater without making a ton of noise. and at the same time charging my 2000 WATT Renology hybrid battery.

Starts Right Up and Runs Great!

Picked up this generator for backup power in case of an outage and to assist with any DIY projects away from standard power. I haven't had to use this for power outages yet but its great for running power tools. It's run my miter saw and pancake compressor no problem. The engine does get a little louder when the power draw increases but it's expected with this unit. I've been placing the generator 50 feet or so away from where I'm working so its not really an issue for me. Overall, I'm happy with this Champion unit would recommend it to others looking for something in the 3k to 4k watt range.

2nd unit to purchase

We already had a Champion Generator Digital Hybrid. After a 5 day electricity outage, we decided to get a second as we wanted to be able to hook up items in our shed as well as the house. We have had the original since 2019 and it has ran great. Fully expect this one to do the same.

meets expectations and performs well so far

The packaging was good and the generator arrived with no shipping damage. The only problem was one missing screw on the pull start housing. I've used the included oil to run and test the generator during a break in period as recommended, periodically alternating between "eco" and normal mode to vary engine speeds. The engine started on the first pull, and is relatively quiet compared to my old 1500W generator. I've applied varying loads up to ~ 1500W during the break in and everything works as expected. I've measured voltage when adding loads, and any possible change is too small and/or too fast to see. In "eco" mode, the generator responds to load changes well, but not quite as well for rapid load changes like quickly and repeatedly starting and stopping a circular saw (as expected and noted in the instructions). One small complaint is that the LED display is difficult to read in bright light.

Solid choice for your basic needs

We purchased this product to have on hand in the event we lost power due to a hurricane here in Florida. Just recently we were lucky enough to take it out of the box for Hurricane Ian. From the very beginning it was very easy to set up, the instructions were clear and were very satisfied with the performance of the generator. Would certainly recommend this to anybody looking for a generator in this class.

A lot quieter than expected

I bought this inverter to run things like our refrigerator whenever the city power is out, which is getting more and more common in the summer. I was hired as the maintenance man at our local YMCA and the building is 75 years old and has no electricity hook up on the outside of the building anywhere. So I use the inverter as a power source to repair anything on the outside of the building. This inverter starts easy, runs a lot quieter than I expected, and provides all of the power I need to get the job done. I'd been eyeing several different inverters for a couple of years, but decided on this one because of the price and reviews. A fantastic buy, exceptional quality and takes up very little space in my garage, I couldn't be more satisfied than I am.

Believe the Good Reviews

I took it out of the box, prepped it according to the directions, added some fuel and the generator started on the 2nd pull. In ECO mode it is quiet and responds immediately to any electrical load. All in all, this inverter generator will serve our needs for years to come. We live in hurricane country and I am confident that we will be well served by this purchase.

Best Generator ever

We purchased this generator after the horrible winter storm we had here in Texas and have been using it for our camping needs it is only 78lbs so very easy to move around and running at 64db is not as loud as other generators that would interfere with sleeping while it's running. Would highly recommend!!!

Good looking inverter

Just got this today, Have not run it yet but the thing looks good and well built. I got the wheel kit with it and makes it easier to move around. You can still carry it up and down stairs (if fit enough) I will update later when I put it through trials. I use a generator about 15 hours a week so I will know soon the quality of this unit. The box arrived beat up pretty bad but the gen inside did not have a scratch or dent on it.
