Quality Product

This is my first generator, but I work on small engines around the house often, so I'm very aware of the problems associated with gas engines. This is the main reason I wanted something that could avoid the use of gas altogether. The set up was simple and the pictures were helpful to show you exactly how to prepare for start up. After adapting the supplied hose to my gas line and checking for leaks I hit the start button. It took a few tries and I moved the choke around slightly, but it fired up quickly. Runs smoothly and I have no worries about the gas going bad as it sits. Overall a great product at a reasonable price.

Only portable NG generator I could find on the market

This was the only portable generator that I could find that runs on Natural Gas, and its very affordable, and came with NG hose and propane hose with quick connect fittings, shipping wasnt bad came within a few days, OIL was included, everything is neat and packaged nicely, I got a cover for mine as well that fits perfectly, not a real loud generator, highly recommend, very convienent having 3 fuel sources.

what i expected

Out of the box, there were no issues. Ran it for 5 hours (break in period) and it did what it was supposed to do. Loud, but i expected that. I love the fact that it runs off natural gas. No storing gas or propane. I already had a natural gas line ran to my grill so it was an easy connection to make. So far so good.

Peace of Mind

Living in Alabama, tornadoes are a reality. I bought this generator to run the basics to include the fridge and freezer. Generator was easy to assemble and once I put gas in it and went to start it, it fired right up. No concerns at all. Champion is a Consumer Reports best buy!

Very Impressive Unit

This unit had every item/accessory included in the box needed to start the generator, very impressive. Assembly was very easy and simple, using the Quick start instructions. Even the outside box had very useful reference information such as a wattage usage guide. It also contained summary information regarding the overall generator use, impressive. The unit came tightly boxed with added support where needed to protect the unit during shipment. I used the propane setup to do the initial startup and burn in, though I will be using Natural gas when in actual use. The startup was as easy as turning the knobs to the correct settings and pushing the start button. The unit ran very smooth for an initial startup and become even smoother within a short period of time. The unit has a useful handle for easy move ability during setup. I also loved the overall workmanship and quality that Champion has put into this unit. This unit will be used to power essential items in my home during a power outage. I will recommend this generator to my friends and to those discussing the purchase of a generator.

Awesome Generator!

I bought this unit specifically for the natural gas option. The product came well packaged, setup was a breeze and the generator runs my entire house through our back feed hookup with no problems at all. I love that I can set it and forget it without the need to constantly check and refill fuel during an extended outage. The noise output is also much quieter than I thought it would be, which the neighbors will certainly appreciate!

Excellent Generator

Decided to purchase this generator after the Texas power grid debacle during the Feb 2021 winter storm. We were VERY fortunate to only lose power for 2-3 hours during that week but purchased this generator to provide piece of mind for the future. Installed a 10-circuit metered manual transfer switch and custom made 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) power cord. Connected it to our NG power source at the back of the house with the included 25 ft NG gas hose that I extended with an additional 12 ft NG gas hose. Installed extra QDDs to make it easier to hook-up at the NG source end and tried out the system the other day and it worked like a charm! I was able to cycle the power over to the generator through the transfer switch circuit by circuit and power the necessities in the event of a winter power outage. While the unit will not power my 5-Ton AC unit during a summer outage, I plan to purchase a portable room AC in that event. Started very easily on the battery start. Challenge will be to keep the battery charged, but with a manual pull-start as a back-up it shouldn't be a problem. While I hope that I won't need to use it, I feel much better prepared for a potential future event.

Better than expected

This is my second generator. Upgrading to this model has some real advantages. First, fuel type. Have you ever had to take your equipment into the shop because you could not get it started? Only to find out the Ethanol in the fuel clogged the carburetor? Know a friend or family member who had to do this? Stop it! Using propane or natural gas as the fuel source completely eliminates this problem. Second, Electric start... hello... super easy. Third, maintenance, thought was used to make things easier for us, the consumer. Oil changes are easier with the design of adding an oil drain tube that attaches directly to the frame of the unit. No more spills. Changing the oil couldn't be easier.

Amazing workhorse

This generator is a total beast of a workhorse. The Tri fuel feature is the absolute best. When everyone else is waiting in gas station lines for dues and paying tons per gallon I just sit back and connect to my natural gas line and have an u limited supply without ever having to leave the house. Simple start up and so easy to operate. Has all the power needed to run all the essentials and then some. Best purchase I've made in a long time. It's an insurance policy you can actually use!

Excellent Value

Around here, power outages during hurricane season are common and can last for days to weeks. I bought this generator because it is one of the few units that will run on natural gas right out of the box, has enough capacity to run my essential appliances, and is far cheaper than a permanently installed standby generator. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it "for real" yet, but it made it through the five hour run in period with flying colors. Only improvement I could suggest would be a load indicator. The panel will tell you voltage and frequency, but not watts/amps.
