Ready to go, right out of the box!

This is my first generator purchase. Been blessed not to lose power too frequently but in the Deep South, you don't want to press your luck. Started up, right out of the box. Everything I read about it and initial test went great. Would definitely recommend this model

Great Product, but registration of product was difficult

Product was shipped to my home. It was in perfect condition coming out of the box. Instructions for installing wheels and support feet were easy to follow, as were the instructions for all three fuel sources. After adding gasoline, the unit fired right off. I've not yet tried propane or natural gas, but I'm sure I won't have a problem. The only thing that kept me from giving this product 5 stars was their online registration of the product. In spite of multiple attempts to register online, I kept receiving an error message which said We're sorry, something went wrong. Please contact us if the issue persists. THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT EXIST. IDENTIFICATION FIELDS AND VALUES: NO.='' I quickly learned their chat is only available M-F. Attempted to call their technical help line and was placed on hold for over 20 minutes and the tech finally helped me get the product registered.

Great quiet generator

Only had it for a year so far and only ran it to break in and prepare for hurricane season this year but it runs great. A lot quieter than I thought it would be for the size. Very easy to use and operate. I've ran it on gas and propane and didn't have any issues either time starting electrically. I did try to start it manually on propane but that didn't seem to want to work. Manually starting on gas worked fine though. Didn't give it 5 stars cause my fuel gauge seems to be broken from the factory. I started it with the gauge on empty and it ran for over an hour on empty. Obviously there's an issue with gauge reading correctly. Also the handle bar gets hot while running so you gotta let it cool a bit before moving it after you run it. I am disappointed it doesn't have a 50 amp plug cause 2 30s is useless since it feeds my breaker panel. Not sure why the designers did this, but it's not something I absolutely needed. And lastly the handle hits very hard and loud when you let it go. They should've built in a cushion so there wouldn't be metal to metal contact when it falls. I got around this by cutting 2 small pieces of ac insulation and put one on each side of the handle so it squeezes against the side rails when the handle falls. Now it doesn't make a sound. But all of these issues are minor in my opinion so overall I really like it. Just hope I can get that fuel gauge fixed.

Runs Great and Support was Superior!

Only used in the break in period so far. The instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. This generator starts very easily and powers my whole house. The shipper shipped the generator on it side and it was damaged. When I contacted Champion, they sent a replacement within 5 days. Very Professional.

Very pleased

I had my doubts, but they were unfounded. I am very pleased that it is everything Champion said it was. I live in hurricane country. I saw how hard it was to get gasoline after the most recent hurricane wiped out power. People had generators ,but no gasoline to run them. My plan was to get a generator that would run on natural gas, since gas pipes shouldn't be affected by wind or tree damage as electrical power lines are. And I could run continuously and never have to add fuel. I was holding my breath after paying to have a hard natural gas line run. But the Champion fired up on NG and ran like a charm. It is very heavy and a little noisy (hence the 4 stars). But I feel much more prepared. Now I hope my money was wasted and I never use it.

Easy set up

Got the generator this morning and set up was pretty easy. I cut away the box to open it and was able to mount the wheels and add the feet by myself without any additional help. The quick set up was easy to follow. Looking forward to the next power outage.

Power up with a tri fuel generator

This tri fuel generator with accessories included is easy to assemble, works great at powering up the things we need to run when the loss of power occurs, the tri fuel option is why I purchased this generator what a great feature to have those fuel choices

Very satisfied with this generator.

I purchased this generator for a couple of reasons, name brand recognition, tri-fuel capability, and ability to use as a home back-up generator. Generator starts easily with the battery startup, conversion to other fuels is also easy and the 8000W rating is perfect for running most appliances that I need or want in the house back-up mode. The engine runs smoothly, and I have been very pleased with the overall ease of use!

Great Generator. Love the Tri-fuel option!

Love the Tri-fuel option! Storing gas, especially in California is hard but since this will run on LP Natural Gas, that is easy. Nice to know that I can use propane and regular gas too! Plenty of power for my needs but still portable if needed. Great value too.

Solid Unit

Setep was a breeze - just unbox, install some hardware, add fluids and you're good to go. One of the main reasons I purchased this tri-fuel unit is for just that reason, it'll work on standard gas, natural gas and LP. The size of the unit is sufficient enough for my use and I personally won't have to worry about fuel as I have natural gas run to my house.
