Storm Insurance

Purchased this generator for peace of mind and option to use natural gas as a primary fuel. Electronic ignition works great and allows me to run in minutes if necessary. Although it is heavy, the wheels and folding handle makes it very easy to transport.

Researched for months

I got the tri-fuel generator in April of this year. The reason being is the versatility of being able to use any available fuel source at a moments notice. You could get a standby generator, but there is so many limitations with those. You can't place it in the back of your van or SUV if you have to leave or need it in another location. You really can't do that with a standby generator. It's good looking, compared to some of the other ones out there, pretty smart looking! I've ran my unit for 16 hours now, no issues, runs strong, gauges are great and like I said to be able to switch from one fuel to another with no issues. Nothing to add-on, nothing! this comes complete! it's great for a guy from the city. this is beautiful, have it hooked up to my house electrical system. just roll it out, hook up the fuel, start it up, (Electric start may i add) plug it in, flip the switch, and your good to go!

yes I would

it started right up an looks good, the manual tells you everything you need to know, it was here a day early, while I haven't tried it on the house yet I have run it for 3 hours to be sure it runs ok and it does, it's really nice to know they will be there to help with any problems, from what I see so far I will be buying another one for my smaller house next spring.

I would but this product again!

I am really impressed with this Champion 8000 watt Tri Fuel portable generator. This is actually my second Champion generator. I bought a similar gas powered Champion generator several years ago. I was very happy with its performance and when I saw that they had a Tri fuel that could also run on natural gas I had to upgrade! When it arrived I was even more impressed with the advancements they made on this new machine. This generator has that same solid well built craftsmanship you get from Champion. I love the ease at which you could switch from one source of fuel to another by just the turn of a dial. Features like easy start dial, Intelligauge with CO shield & automatic shut off, rubber covers over the outlets and circuit breakers, gas gauge and an oil drain hose make this machine safe and easy for anyone to operate. I believe its power, reliability and versatility makes this an ideal machine for a home owner like myself.

Seems Like a Great Product Out The Box

So far I've not had to use my new generator for backup power. I purchased it because I wanted something natural gas from the manufacturer rather than doing one of these conversions. It has the built in detector for CO, it comes with the hoses you need in the box and it has more power than the other portable generators that run on natural gas straight from the manufacturer. I took it out the box, assembled it and hooked it up to the BBQ line on my house. Ran it for 3-4 hours having it run a hot plate and a couple of refrigerators to break in. Ran well, not too loud and all seems well. Stored it for next big hurricane down here. Only complaint was the EZ Start dial kind of hangs on it. It seems a little flimsy and I was worried about breaking it trying to turn it. Took some wiggle to get it turning. Peeking behind the panel, kind of worried that thing will break. Suggest they reinforce that thing.

Runs fine ... but...

Product arrived on time and in perfect condition. However, I was tried to remove the spark arrestor because i was going to place it in ventilated gen box... One of the small bolts was cross either threaded or completely over torqued on installation It would not loosen even with wd-40 or oil, and eventually snapped off trying to remove. . Which makes me wonder about other tolerances and build issues

Would recommend this product to friends and family.

Purchased generator last year, 2022. Stored in shed, son installed additional wheels to move from storage shed to a safe space to run when needed. After having installed the gas line and transfer switch, the Tri-Fuel Generator started on first start. Very impressive. Feel ready for power outage if needed.

Awesome Generator

I bought this generator as a backup for power outages here in Michigan. In winter storms we lose power often and for days and I needed something that I could rely on to power my home. My home is on the smaller side so this generator will power most everything in my house. The natural gas hook up is incredible. The option of three fuels though really makes this generator versatile and perfect for any use.

I love my new Generator

Opened the box today and got it set up in about 30-45 minutes (from opening the box to running the generator). Very easy to follow instructions, both in the Quick Start Guide as well as the owners manual. So simple - no tools needed (except to open the box!!!). Everything in the box needed to get power quickly with any of the three fuel sources. I use gasoline and natural gas. Very happy!!!
