Will continue buying champion.

This is my third champion generator, this one is to run my camper. The last 2 run tank heaters in water tanks that are too remote to have power ran. The first finally wore out around 3000 hours, it just got tired, but still does work. They run for days at a time in the winter, never a hiccup. Hopefully this one continues to impress.

Runs everything, Small issues

I got this for my 30-amp travel trailer. It runs everything, including the AC in hot and humid weather. Got almost 12 hours on a 20# propane bottle and about 10 hours on 1/2 tank of gas. It is louder than a full inverter but quieter than a full open frame generator. It does vibrate a bit and the recessed area for the outlets made it hard for the 30 amp plug to stay in. Ended up having to use a ratchet strap to hold plug in place. I got the wheel kit to add to it. It helps in moving it around a LOT. The handle could be just a little longer so you don't catch your heel on it. Easy to crank on just a couple pulls. It's just a little heavy for me to lift into the truck, but I can usually find help. With the wheels, I can move it all around fairly easily. The dual fuel was a big selling point.

A very nice, powerful inverter generator

This open frame inverter unit is really impressive. I just got done with the break-in cycle and found that the setup instructions were easy to follow and tasks were simple to complete. The unit started right up and ran smooth the whole time. It is considerably quieter than other generators in the same output class which I've used in the past. I opted to add a wheel & handle kit which makes it really easy to move wherever I need it. Overall, this generator is a quality product and a good value.

I am 100% happy I chose this one

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.

So far so good

I've just broken in the generator and at about 50% load and so far everything works well. Starts on the first pull every time. Not as loud as I was expecting, which was a nice surprise. Swapped mine for a magnetic dipstick, which I would also recommend. Seems to be a nice generator for next time we lose power.

Definitely recommend

I bought this to use for some smaller home appliances during an extended power outage. It's easy to use and quieter than I expected too. If you run it outside your house you will only hear it as minor background noise when you're inside. Overall I recommend this generator.

Great Little Generator

I've had other Champion generators in the past and this one has the same great quality and reliability. Right out of the box it was easy to set up using the quick start guide. I got this inverter type to run sensitive electronics. It's also much quieter than the regular generator I have.

This is my first generator

This is my preliminary review, I just bought and tested this generator and it's great. This is my first generator, I've been going on about getting one for years but never did, so after some research and comparison I took the plunge and I'm glad on this one. Set up was easy and getting it up and running war a breeze. Please, just follow the instructions, you'll be fine. I hope it lasts and I would definitely consider again and recommend to others, which I already did before even receiving mine. It's a bit louder than I expected, but I'll live with it.

I would purchase this generator again, and recommend

Easy to use, add oil and fuel, turn switch on and pull choke, turn fuel on and pull the rope starts on 1-2 pulls new, after initial start, it takes only 1 pull to start every time, I've tried 5 days straight and each time 1st pull starts. It's lightweight and large 4 gallon fuel tank, I will be using to run my a/c on a 5th wheel and looking forward to traveling with it to nascar races, very well made and will recommend to family and friends

This is a beast of a generator,

Have owned it since 2007 and it has been a lifesaver after hurricanes here. It ran nonstop in 2016 after Hurricane Mathew for 5 days and 8 days in 2017 after Hurricane Irma. We used it to power up tv, ceiling fan, window AC and a few lamps in the house. The ONLY time it shut down was to let me know it was hungry. I love it and HIGHLY recommend it. I am giving it to my son in Orlando since I now have a 5500-watt generator. Just changed the plug this past week and the hoses last summer of 2022. This was my first but not last Champion generator.
