Would LIke to tell others to buy the product

I just recived the generator, i like the 3 fuel system also i can use the 1/2 inch natural gas line i have already ran out to my grill. It starts easy and runs great i l also like the CO2 detector. The unit was too close to my deck and the C)O2 detected worked great and shut it down.

Flexibility and freedom from refilling in the middle of the

Love it. Everything about it except the weight. I've owned 5 generators over the years and this one is heavy. But it comes with the wheels and handle package, as well as the hook up hoses for NG and LPG. Even the oil! I almost wish my power would out so I can put this unit in service and give you a real world review.

Great value and easy assembly

Purchased to have backup home power after two winters with extended outages. Really easy assembly. Didn't start at first (via the battery), but I let it sit 10 minutes and then tried again (this time manual) and it cranked right up. Very happy with the purchase. Confirm you have a good place to store it before purchase :]

It needs a RV 50amp plug

I go along with Ranger above. I wanted to buy the champion tri fuel generator after the feb. freeze. But I wanted the RV50amp plug. Which it did not have. I ended up buying the Firman tri fuel generator because it had the RV50amp plug on it. I have been very happy with it. It starts great on gas or natural gas and runs great. I am happy with the purchase . But I have a smaller champion generator in the back of my truck that I use for my RV emergencies when we travel . It has the 30amp RV plug which I use a adapter for my RV. And it has been a good generator.But with no natural gas problem I wanted a bigger generator for at home. That is why I was going to buy the champion tri fuel generator till I found out it did not have the 50amp RV plug.

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.

Yes

I love the fact that it is Tri Gas. We lose power a lot in this area and the champion generator works flawlessly to take care of it, I've never had a problem with it. The only thing i would suggest is a better tire, I don't think they will last long.

Powerful

Set up was easy. Everything you need is included. Hose and connection for natural gas, propane, and oil is all supplied. Connected mine to a propane tank to test generator. Electric start is great. After engine started up it ran flawlessly! Getting natural gas connection to my home to use for power outage. Packaging was great. received generator with no Damage. Highly recommend.

Rude, incompetent, no help customer service

Found many good reviews for this item and noticed mostly great reviews for all Champion generators. Before buying, I thought why not give them a call and ask 2-3 questions? (answers of which I know). First time calling (mid-afternoon), there was a 60 min wait so I thought to call another time. Called again the next late morning, and there was a 90-min wait time! Called back the next day again and decided to wait as the wait time was said to be around 30 mins so I set the phone on my office desk and got carried away by a cold visit of a roofing company combing the area due to recent hail storm. About 100 mins later (at 109 mins on the call), I remembered I had left the line open and was surprised it was still on. I was curious... did not hang up and waited another 23 mins (a total of 132 mins!!!) before an upset, rude lady came thru. Any question I asked her answer was: "you will need to refer to the manual for that". As I realized something is definitely wrong with this company. Good Lesson.... be pre-emptive... check on the company prior to parting your money. In retrospect, I am very glad I did (and worth the time spent waiting on the phone). Done! for life! with loser Champion

Excellent product

I bought this generator 3 month ago when a storm was coming. I found it incredibly easy to set up. It started right away and performs very well. I love the fuel choices. I'm going to put in on Nat gas so I can just plug in the hose , hit the start and i'm good for a long as the power is out. This generator is an excellent value.

Absolutely buy again!

Like most, I reviewed many alternatives prior to choosing this generator. Features & functionality of this unit met all of needs and then the Tri Fuel closed the deal for me. I plan to use NG as my primary energy source once the plumbing is complete. Assembly was quick and easy and I started the break-in using LPG. Couldn't happier!
