Generator seems to run great. I've only put 2 hours in on the break in period so I haven't really put it to the test just yet. It's stupid simple to run and operate. The suggested wheel kit is another matter. Everywhere you look the suggested wheel kit is 40065. The problem is, the handle that comes with it will not fit this model generator. Please see pictures to see why. If you try to force fit it, you'll damage the fuel tank since it's in the way and the welded on handle bracket on the generators frame isn't meant for this type of handle to be mounted to it. I'm waiting to hear from Champion on what the solution is. I've already wasted $65 on this wheel kit. That's why I gave it a 4 star rating.

Good generator. Noise level is decent, but I do find myself wishing for something a bit quieter. I may end up building a quiet box for it. Bought this to power a travel trailer when boondocking, however after making my neighbors listen to the break-in period (5 hours), I offered it in the event of power outages - I've got a generac standby. Ran my travel trailer AC (13K BTU) no issue at all (including compressor startup). Runtime is pretty decent. I'm not sure exactly how i'll use it, but I like that in ultra remote areas in high heat I'll be able to run overnight for AC. A few other thoughts - 1. The drain plug is poorly placed. It is hard to get an oil pan under it, given how little it protrudes. I ended up setting it on blocks to drain for the first oil change. 2. Wheel set - what the heck is up with the side arm? I am not sure if the side arm in the $40 wheel set isn't compatible with this generator, or if mine was built incorrectly (square pieces welded to tubing are facing down, preventing me from mounting the side arm).

So far this is an excellent generator. I got the added wheel kit to make it much easier to move around. I opened the box up, followed the very straight forward directions. Unscrewed the structure screws, added oil, added gas and I was in business. We hooked it up to my buddies RV and it was able to handle everything with ease. Relatively quiet for an open frame generator. Once we closed the door, we couldn't really hear anything. Seems pretty economical on gas. Would definitely recommend this generator.

I will be using this generator for emergency back up power at home as well as for use at my brother's land. It has plenty of power for key equipment at both sites. The unit is much quieter than what you would expect from a unit this size. It is easy to use, and I really like the long run time before fueling this unit offers.

Bought this for our camper and was pleasantly surprised how quiet this model is. Came with great instructions and was simple to get prepped. Filled with gas and fired right up! I have other Champion Power Equipment products and they have always performed flawlessly.

Skeptical at first about the loudness. I own a Honda generator, but I needed more power. So I bought this one. Love it!! Great size, not too bulky, light in weight, and not loud compared to others. Ive been looking around. I can say im satisfied with my purchase.

Excellent packaging and arrived in perfect condition. Followed the simple instructions and it started on the first pull. The break-in was easy with no issues. It's much quieter than my old Generac xl4000. It does shake a bit under load but I expected that. I'm looking forward to many years of boondocking with this little beauty!

So far I did the "break in" and have used it for one weekend of camping. It ran my campers lights, AC, Fridge as well as the TV/Stereo all without seeming to even phase it. My only negative is that it isn't as quiet as my other one which is a Predator of the same size. BUT for the price I cannot complain. Thanks!

I use this generator to power my entire converted 36-foot Blue Bird Skoolie! Until I get my solar system installed. I run my refrigerator, a 1500-watt Amish fireplace heater, LED rope lights, and charge two laptops, two cell phones, a Bluetooth speaker, and my internet hotspot device, all at the same time. After my solar system is installed I plan to keep the generator and use it as a backup power source, for all that, when I need it.

I just unboxed the generator and it seems to be of high quality. I hooked it to my camper and it runs my AC with no problem. My only complaint so far is as you fill it with gas it spits gas out the hole for the gas cap chain. It started in a couple pull very easily.
