I would buy this product again

This was bought to power our house in the event of power outage.We have the option to use gas, propane, or natural gas.I have not used it in a real life situation yet but, it has been tested several times. It hooks up to the house and uses a lock out switch to prevent feed back to the power lines.It powers the entire house. ( we have gas stove ,water heater and furnace). It will also run our 2.5 ton AC. This is my third Champion used for different purpose. Never a problem with a Champion.

A must to have when electricity is out and can't get gas.

After hurricane Ida I decided that I needed a generator that ran on natural gas and could be independent from regular gas. A quick trip to the hardware store and I was able to adapt the generator to my existing gas line that I use for the BBQ pit. It started easily and I now have the ability to keep essential products running (AC, refrigerator, lights, freezer).

Natural Gas option is appreciated

After the major winter power outage in Texas in February 2021, we decided to get a portable generator. We were excited to find this tri-fuel option which offers natural gas. However, we had some questions and were disappointed with the 50 minute wait on the Champion Customer service phone line. We have not actually tried the generator yet but only gave 3 stars due to not being able to wait 50 minutes to talk to someone in customer service. Hopefully they can get more people answering their customer service phone.

Yes I would buy this Champion Tri-Fuel generator again

I use this generator as a house backup system. After installing the battery and oil, everything worked as expected right out of the box The only thing I would prefer differed is the symbols used used on the dial for gas, propane & natural gas. I would prefer labeling that said gas choke and gas run, etc for each fuel type.

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.

Keep my home running and worry free !!!!!!!

Only ran for test of Transfer switch and tried to use natural gas,but could not get the machine started on it?Switched over to a tank of propane and it fired right up and ran just fine. Then after the test we switched back to natural gas and it ran on it? Can not wait for the loss of power to try it out! Toddzie.

great portable generator

Got this portable generator for power outages due to hurricanes. this model is tri fuel, i had it hooked up to the natural gas in our house, i also had it hooked up to an interlock switch on our main breaker. when we lose power, this will power the whole house and use natural gas, so no driving to get gasoline or propane. this was a great purchase. I am very impressed by the quality of the unit. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but i anticipate it being great.

GFCI a pain

Our power went off overnight a few weeks ago. Started up the generator & plugged in our refrigerator & freezer, along with other appliances. The GFCI switched off multiple times, totally unreliable all night. I read the fine print in the manual that said motors in refrigerators, etc. could cause the GFCI to switch it off. What good is a generator if it won't keep my most critical appliances running? Should at least provide a 110 volt outlet without a GFCI for this.

So far I'm very happy with this generator

I bought it to replace my Generac recoil start generator I am glad i did, it seems to better quality than the Generac and the electric start is great, I use Nat. Gas as a fuel source and it starts right up where as the Generac did not want to start on Nat. Gas. I use it mainly as back up household power during an outage.

Well designed and well made!

Having lived through hurricanes and tornadoes, I have found myself without power for days at a time. With three ways to power my Champion tri-fuel, I am confident I have the resource I need to have consistent backup power. It's well designed and made and I'm very happy with my purchase.
