Bought this for emergency use during power outages. Thus far I've only used it for running tools where I don't have outlets and it's working fine. I'm using ethanol-free only, and have run it every other month or so to keep it ready to go. Runs louder than expected, but it is an open frame. Luckily I don't have neighbors right on top of me so that isn't an issue.

I purchased this product for a family member who has a health condition and cannot be without electricity for extended periods. It was very easy to get get going out of the box and required very little prep. Everything was labeled great and simple directions. I could write a lot more but I will get to the point, the product was affordable, is lightweight, starts easy still to this day, and is very quiet. A++ highly recommend.

I had a smaller 2000 watt inverter generator that was too small to run more than one appliance at a time. I wanted to find a quiet, sine wave generator to replace it. After a bit of research I found this one. At 75 pounds, its a bit heavier than the smaller 2000 watt unit. However, at age 73, I can still lift it into the back of my pickup. It's a quiet unit and seems to be fuel efficient. Overall a good deal.

This one is lighter than the one it replaced. The old one was heavy, bulky and noisy. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet but looking forward to it next spring at the cabin. It's quiet here but wonder how quiet it will seem in the middle of the woods. Only gave it four stars because I haven't put it to the test yet.

Only 4 stars because I haven't used it in cold weather or at altitude yet. Bought to use in camp. Went through the 5 hour break in period and changed the oil (it was still very clean). I like that the generator is really not that heavy (just a little more than a bale of good alfalfa hay). Starts easily and quickly so far but temperatures are not very extreme yet. Product manual is fairly clear, but could be better about stating that synthetic oil should only be used AFTER the break in period and the reason why (if there is a reason). Rated loads are about perfect for a 30A electrical system in a trailer. So far, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

Have only done break in so far. I will run AC and 2 refrigerators in my camper. A little louder than I thought it would be. It probably won't disturb the neighbors if I need to at home should the power go out. Not sure about camping yet. Looking forward to boondocking with it!

I use this generator for camping and it powered everything I needed including heaters and AC units - It ran flawlessly and without fail. I have had generators previously that were load and required multiple refuels - this generator is easy to start ran continuously without a single hiccup.

I've owned Champion equipment for years. Last October we had an ice storm, we were without power for 6 days. We had at that time a smaller Champion generator I hadn't started as often as I should. I got it out of the garage moved it outside and it started right up! We were able to power lights and alternately the fridge, deep freeze, and gas furnace. We also ran our phone chargers and laptop and lights at night. It was amazing we stopped during that time and changed the oil as recommended after 50 hours of use. It saved us. Well, we have more and more outages it seems and so we purchased this generator. Once I get it moved outside and hooked up during a power outage I can remotely start it and not have to go outside. We usually only run our generator while we are awake just for safety's sake. Now I can run all of our computers and such since this one is an inverter generator it works well with electronics. I'm not looking forward to another ice storm but I know now that I'm protected, and that is a great feeling.

Got this inverter to use building pole barn. Easy directions for set up. Got the wheel kit and it was easy to install. Started right up, unfortunately leaking gas from fuel shut off valve. Having trouble getting replacement part. Have emailed support twice, phone cue says average wait time 25 min to answer call. Looking forward to being able to use.

Recently bought an RV with a solar package. The panels and batteries will run everything but the AC and microwave. So, bought this generator to power those. Small enough for me to pull out and setup, and can handle running the both the AC unit and the microwave. Also fairly quiet, about the same noise as a larger AC unit running.
