New equipment

I haven't actually used it yet but during my test with various equipment it worked great. I have 2 other generators and this one will be an excellent addition.

Great Generator

Everything you need comes with this generator! Hoses for Propane and natural gas. Extremely quit compared to my older generator. Clear direction for easy start. Ensure you purge the air from the natural gas or propane line before trying to start. Love the electric start. Only used it once so far will have to wait and see how it goes long term.

I haven't used it but 2 hours for break in.

I love the product, my son has one he recommended it. It's loud I have to build a quiet box because I live in a neighborhood.

This is a great generator. I would buy again.

I use this generator for power outages. I use it to power a window air conditioner and refrigerator. I hook it to my natural gas supply line and it works great. It's nice not having to store many gallons of gasoline or many propane tanks especially after a hurricane when there are long lines of people getting gas.

Hurricane and Winter Storm Insurance

I purchased this tri-fuel generator in case of a loss of public utility power due to a future hurricane or winter vortex storm. I deferred this purchase until I was advised to checkout the tri-fuel generators on the market. It was clear that this Champion model was the purchase of choice. It arrived and was assembled in 20 minutes and started up immediately using LPG. The electrician came to install the 30 amp box and the plumber installed the natural gas connection and I am good to go.

Outstanding Genset

Thanks to Nichole, my generator ran for 7 hours on propane on the first day of power loss while I modified my homes natural gas piping to run the generator. I then ran the generator for an additional 12 hours over the next 2 1/2 days on natural gas. Keep the loads minimal, No issues or faults at all. The real test will be next hurricane season, having ran only propane and NG this year, I should see no issues with fuel stabilization or carburetor fouling.

Great Generator

Big enough to make it worth the expense to plug it into the house but small enough to move around. So far this has been a great machine. Easy to set up. I'm using natural gas. Works like a charm. Only thing was noise. The box said 74 dB. I measured 94 dBs. I was going to build a sound reducing enclosure anyway so I don't care.

Great Product, but would love it if...

I bought this generator for the tri-fuel capability after I had my natural gas converted to be able to access a quick connect. The generator itself seems very solid, started right off the bat after filling it with oil, and hasn't hiccuped one time. I have not tested it with fuel, only natural gas and propane, but is running strong through the break-in period. I do wish that it came with a 50amp outlet, especially since the running wattage is 8000 and the start up is 10,000 on gasoline (9000 starting 7000 running on natural gas). The 30amp outlet limits you on a few things, but it will do 95% of the house with no problems and I will just buy a window a/c unit or two for outages during the heat of the summer.

You Can Get A Lemon Anywhere These Days !

Did a lot of research before purchase . I followed instructions in detail to start the engine but the engine just would not consistently start . It would start sometimes but when i cut it off and tried again i would not start . It would start sometimes but not all the times i tried . Paid too much money to have these kind of issues . Called CS three time for help and although they tried to help the engine just would not start regularly each time . Good customer service . They really tried to help !
