I WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN

I just bought this generator October 8th and received it on October 14th, 2022. The delivery was great, door to door service. It's a well-built generator with a lot of fuel choices, it was easy to assemble wheel kit. I followed the instructions on how to start the generator, electric starter, it started right way! GREAT !!! As of now living on Longlsland there' on adverse weather conditions at this time. But if it does occur I'm sure I have the proper generator to handle any possible outage and maintain my home in a comfortable way.

Couldn't be more pleased!

I ordered this generator a few days ago to power essential circuits in the house in the event of a power failure. It arrived on time, was very easy to put the wheels and feet on. It's heavy but not hard to move around with the wheels. Everything I needed came in the box, and I had it up and running in no time. I'm using natural gas for fuel as I had a gas outlet on my deck for a gas grill, and this way I don't have to worry about refueling or running out of fuel. I had done my tie-in at the panel a few days previous, and test ran the generator for about a half hour, making sure it would run what I needed in the house, which it did...mainly refrigerators and lighting circuits, though it would power the furnaces in cold weather too. I have ordered an interlock for the panel to eliminate the possibility of back-feeding into the power grid. I highly recommend this product.

I would buy again

I purchased this tri fuel generator for the 3 options it gives me. We have a lot of hurricanes here and sometimes the power is off for several days. When power is off for long periods it's hard to find gasoline so I have propane or natural gas to choose from. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is I only used it for the break in period.

I would buy this generator again!

Power outage lasted 5 days!!! I used propane in 20 pound containers for ease of carry in an suv. The electric start was easy to use with the choke setting and run setting. It never stopped excepting to change tanks. Thank you Chamion power equipment.

Most definitely would buy this again....

The Champion name and Tri Fuel option was the convincing factors in my purchasing this generator. It did take about 6 weeks for delivery, but that's 2 weeks short of what Norwall Generators quoted me. So I had time to prepare storage and locations for the generator. I was told I had to inspect the box upon delivery and not to accept delivery if there was any damage. Mine had a small scuff on the cardboard box. That's it. The driver even placed it in my garage for me instead of just leaving it at the end of the driveway. I wanted to be able to run a generator using my outdoor Natural Gas Line on my patio. The fittings and hoses came with the generator. I am now into my 4th hour of the 5 hour break-in period. It started with no effort on the very first try. While running the generator I walked around outside the house and the noise levels, less than 30 feet from it, are negligible. So noise is not a factor. I was concerned after reading the manual about changing the oil after the initial 5 hours break-in, as it is supplied with conventional 10W-30 oil and said drain and use Synthetic Oil after that. Old school training told me not to do that, but after a quick call to Champion they said it is safe to make the change. And suggested Mobil 1 Synthetic. So that's what it gets in about another hour or so. Even given the reduced output from running on Natural Gas (about 8800 watts) versus Gasoline at 10,000 watts this generator will more than supply me with the power I need to keep my home in electricity during an outage. And you always have the options of fuels if you like for the added output. The versatility of this generator is perfect. Highly recommend anyone to give this one serious consideration when buying a generator. You won't be disappointed.

Tri Fuel, only way to go.

After my last power outage with my old hard to pull start genny, and waiting 5 cars back in a line for gas, I thought there must be a better way. Solution: Champion Tri fuel with electric start. Tapped off my natural gas line and with the supplied quick connect gas line, my Wife can even set it up to run if I'm away. Love it.

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

Finally got here

Everything appears to be good, my only problem was that because of Hurricane Ida, shipping from California was delayed. Champion made no efforts to send out another through a different shipper from somewhere else, thus leaving us without power during a difficult time.

Every thing you would want.

Just purchased and have yet to put it to work but after doing much research into many brands and types of generators I found this Champion tri fuel to be the best! It has the benefit of using three types of fuel but I like the ability to use natural gas. It is straight forward in set-up and use. Also I like the availability of parts and accessories.

Love the Tri-Fuel option

Bought this as an emergency back up generator for my house. The flexibility of using Gas LPG or NG was the key. Generator works great and powers everything that I need to in order to keep my house warm if there is an emergency during an Alaskan winter.
