Life saver

I use this as a home emergency power back up. I tied into natural gas main and back feed with interlock during outages. We bought a house in the sticks last year and had a 3 day power outage where we borrowed a generator. Decided to get the champion tri fuel and woah it has been amazing. In the 7 months we have had it we now have 200 plus hours on it so far. Im not an electrician i should state, but this has powered a majority of the house including a 3.5 ton ac in the summer when our power went out for 5 days and 3 hours. And it has powered our furnace recently during the 30 plus hour outage. The generator has made it very comfortable for us to be with out power. Obviously we cant run ac and use 240 dryer at same time so small minor inconviniences but it has worked great. It has run consistent with only stopping to perform maintainence at regular intervals. I did notice when i starter my truck by it that triggered the co2 sensor and it shut off once. Other than that it has been great. Very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend over 10k to 15k home generator price tags. We dont have sensative electronics besides a pellet grill which it ran perfect for pulled pork so the THD isnt an issue for us. Stop waiting and start buying people you wont regret it! We have also ran two campers with ac off this generator no issues.

Great Generator

I purchased this Tri-Fuel generator earlier this year. (Un)fortunately I had to use it for Hurricane Ida. I ran it for 10 days straight using natural gas. I changed the oil every 2-3 days. It did great!! Ran most of my home, including a 3-ton central AC unit with the exception of disconnecting one (of 3) refrigerator, stove/oven, washer and dryer.

Works great

I only use this for a standby for my house so it will hardly be used. But in testing and break in it has been working great. I'm only running it on natural gas, I don't plan on ever putting gasoline in the tank. Much quieter than I thought it would be, although it is a loud generator. I haven't load tested to the max but it handles the whole house while the wife is vacuuming just fine.

feeling ready for when the temp drops or wind blows!

After loosing power for 2 days and almost having pipes freeze, and having to throw away spoiled food; we had enough...this generator was easy to put together; easy to prep for the first start; and easy to run. Had everything we needed. Feeling much more ready if the temp drops or the wind blows.

Need a 50Amp recepticle

My neighbor has one and loves it. The only thing keeping me from buying it today is the lack of a 50amp receptacle. I've seen another brand tri-fuel generator putting out less watts that has a 50amp receptacle. I know I can buy an adapter. That does nothing but give me 30amps through a 50amp adapter. I want the 50amp power.

So far so good

I just received and set up. Though the shipping box was slightly damaged the generator was not damaged. The instructions (for assembly & start up) are good and all the needed accessories are provided. After assembly & filling up the fuel tank I ran the generator for an hour. However, it wasn't a straight hour because after 15 minutes it shut off. The only thing I can think that caused the shut down was when I went to plug in an additional cord I may have bumped the Test/Reset button. If it was my fault then just know that the Test/Reset button on the outlet(s) is VERY sensitive. I could not restart the generator so I let it sit for 20-30 minutes. When I tried restarting, it started up again. The generator ran without issue for 45 minutes. I eventually plugged in 2 circular saws and a shop light - they barely put any stress on the generator output. I eventually will hook up to a transfer switch breaker box, but I have not yet. I will rewrite/edit my review if it fails, but I do not anticipate this happening.

Smooth operation, lots of power

Mainly bought this generator to back up in case of power failure, loved that it was tri-fuel. We unpacked it and assembly went off without any problems. Tried gasoline first but didn't put enough in and felt panic but after adding more gasoline, it started right up, ran very smooth. Tried the propane next and it started right up. Same with Natural Gas. We liked this one as we are going to back up three different houses and wanted one which would transport easily. With a cheap set of ramps, the generator was loaded in a pickup truck by one person. Delivery was quick and so far we feel that this generator is well worth the investment. Thank you for a great machine and service!

Quality Product

I was looking for a machine to power my entire house when the power goes out. This fit the bill. I am now able to run my appliances and lights and other essentials without worry. I especially like the natural gas option. I do not need to worry about having a full can of gas sitting in the garage. Several of the guys I work with have purchased this same machine with good results.

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.

Good Purchase - Works Well

I purchases this generator so that I could have a portable generator that I didn't have to buy gasoline for. Connecting directly to my houses' natural gas line solves this issue. The product was well packaged and I had no issues with assembly or startup. I really think this generator is perfect my purposes.
