Best generator I've ever used.

I bought this generator because of the tri-fuel option. In an emergency you never know what fuel sources will be available. So it's nice to have options. Currently I have it set up to connect to my natural gas line for continuous use without worrying about refilling.

Chose the Tri-Fuel for the Natural Gas feature

With hurricane season upon us, I spent a lot of time looking for a generator big enough to run most of what I need after a storm, but I didn't want to spend the money on a standby generator at this point, and the 8000W Tri-Fuel fit the bill. Got it from "your favorite orange big box store" that focuses on home improvement in a matter of days as it had really positive reviews. I got it home and out of the box was super easy to set up and the instructions were super easy to follow. There's also a cover for it that fits like a glove that you can purchase separately. All in all so far it's been nothing but a positive experience so far.

Nice Portable Generator

Bought this generator back in July 2021 to have back-up power in the event of a hurricane. With this tri-fuel model I now have alternative fuel sources and don't have to rely solely on gasoline because that becomes hard to acquire in the event of a hurricane. I recently added natural gas to my home and use it as a fuel source for this generator to power my home. The generator has been broken in by running @ 50% of load and the oil changed. The generator performed very well during the break in period. I do wish that champion would add a watt panel to future models as that can be very helpful in determining loading of the generator. I was able to check amperage with my personal meter and convert to watts to see the load on the generator. The generator is well built & overall I am very happy with my purchase.

Great prouduct

Very impressed with quality of the generator ,great that it included oil and connection hose,s for LP and Natural Gas, wheel kit is also a plus since generator is quiet heavy. The trifuel is the reason I purchased this model, finally can operate the unit on my home natural gas supply ( no fuel storage or contamination issue,s).

Best tri-fuel on the market

To start, very secure packing. Very little to do assembly wise. Loved having everything in the box IE: Oil, LP and natural gas lines. Had mine up and running in one hour. I already had a gas line for my outdoor NG grill. The 25 foot NG line is plenty. The directions were easy to follow and I love all the safety features. Started up on first push. Very powerful 12 volt battery. I purchased the Champion protective cover also, and I'm glad I did. It fits perfectly. I checked on some other NG generators on line and this one has them all beat.

Great generator, runs what I need in an emergency

I recently moved to FL and bought this generator to use in case of a hurricane. I already have a smaller Champion gas generator, but I wanted one that would run on different fuels. I can hook it up to the NG line in my outdoor kitchen. I also purchased two LPG tanks to keep on hand. The main appliances I want to keep running are the fridge, small garage freezer, and small fridge in outdoor kitchen. Then, add a couple fans and a lamp or two. Once assembled, I tried it with petrol and LPG. It ran great and will handle my needs.

Works great on propane

Bought as back-up power because our state government is going 'green' and shutting down our power plants. Power company says to expect rolling blackouts. Tested for a few hours on propane with no problems. Electric start and tri-fuel operation allows fuel flexibility.

Tri fuel generator from Champion

This is an excellent generator out of the box cause I can just run the natural gas and run this generator until the Con Edison power comes back. This generator has enough wattage to run all necessary appliances. I highly recommend this Champion tri fuel Generator to everyone has natural gas service no need to be inline for gasoline...

After the Feeze

We went thru 4 days without power in 2021 in a Texas winter freeze and some shorter outages in summer 111 degree heat last year and decided no more. We priced options for whole house back-up generator, but the estimates were 18K to 20K for the wattage we needed. Since we hope the times we need such will be the exception rather than the rule, we opted for a portable generator that could connect to our natural gas line for our backyard grill, with a hook-up to our master panel install by our electrician. The Champion Tri-Fuel 100416 fit the bill, and provides more power than almost any other portable using natural gas. In the winter it can power everything in the house; in the summer it can power everything except the big compressor on the AC, but we use a couple of smaller units for the most utilized parts of the house. So far we have only had to use it for testing, but it has worked flawlessly. And the overall cost of the generator, electrician, panel wiring, and supplemental AC units was under 20% of the whole house estimate.

A great value, well made product

I bought this tri fuel generator for emergency power for our house. It arrived yesterday in great condition. Installed wheels etc., connected the natural gas hoses, and the generator fired right up. Hope I don't need it often, but it will be ready to go as needed. I would highly recommend this generator.
