Low cost--Uses Natural Gas!

This is great. Finally a low cost way to use my natural gas hook-up for an uninterrupted power supply for my generator. Incredibly easy to hook up. Looks like it will be able to power everything in my house that isn't 220--refrigerators, tv and computer,

I would recommend this product

I bought this generator for the house to be used during the hurricane season down here in New Orleans area. Luckily, I havent had to use it so far but i did test run it and it started up very smoothly. My main goal was to be able to use Natural Gas generator since last year we had a hurricane and finding Gas at a Gas station was very difficult.

Well constructed generator that is easy to use

I am using the 8000 watt tri-fuel generator as a power source backup in my home with natural gas as the fuel to the generator. The Champion instructions were easy to understand and I really liked that the unit came with the hose to connect to the unit to the house natural gas line, and the cord to hook the unit to a power inlet. I used the generator with a 10-circuit transfer switch which provides us electric during a power failure for all the needed appliances, furnace, hot water tank, and lights in the house. Very easy to set up and start. Could not be more pleased.

I have not started it yet but it looks good under the table.

Had it 8 months and bought hoses, cords, fittings to run off NG and a charger for loving the battery but, haven't put in the cheap generic oil they packed with. Champion doesn't endorse a brand so I just ordered a 5 quart jug of Castrol GTX MAGNATEC motor oil to not change horses after a 5 hour break-in period. Good luck!

Runs like a Champ(ion)

Champion TriFuel Generator gave me fuel source options, specifically propane/natural gas for power outages. I am a 55 yr old petite female. I had no issues unboxing, setting up and running the generator. A week after receiving the generator, the power went out. I ran the Champion generator for 5 hours powering 2 refrigerators, floor freezer on propane. I am highly satisfied with my purchase. I look forward to purchasing an inverter generator for the rv.

Great generator to buy

This is a great generator. I opened out of box and set it up in 15 minutes. I tested it out right away with natural gas on side of my house with transfer switch. It works great. I was able to run my well pump, furnace, power vent water heater, 2 refrigerators, chest freezer, sump pump, basement lights, bathroom lights, TV and game consol(ps4) all at the same time with no issues. (I made sure to run hot water so water heater kicked on and then we'll pump kicked on, and turned up heat so that kicked on and open refrigerators so they kick on with all lights, TV, game, ect.. turned on, and the watts meter on transfer switch only went just past halfway and every time we'll pump stopped it would go down to 1/4th way.) It works great. I am very happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone. Great buy!

I am thrilled with this unit so far

Just received my generator 2 days ago. Shipping was fast and the unit arrived in perfect condition. Setup was simple...take it out of the box, install the wheel kit, connect the battery, add oil, connect to fuel source. Mine fired up on the first crank, using LP. This is great as I intend to run off NG when I have my line extended. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend.

This is exactly what I was looking for!

We have a lot of power outages in our area so I always have needed a generator. I had a Harbour Freight 8750W generator that I converted to use natural gas. I had to buy a battery & a wheel kit (very flimsy). It worked fine for a few years then started giving me trouble. It was a real pain to start & maintain. Changing the oil was a real struggle. I say all that to compare the Champion Tri-Fuel generator I recently purchased. The wheel kit was included, easy to install, and well made. It came with oil & even a funnel to add the oil. I connected up the natural gas hose that was included, connected the battery & it started right up. It was almost too easy. It even has a display to tell me how many hours it has run. Love that feature! I'm ready for years of reliable service from the is generator. I guess you get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend this generator.

This generator is a beast!!!

Like I said: this thing is a beast. I broke it in on propane and it worked so well I could not choke it to start as it was too lean. it is loud... about 85 decibels at 10 yards away.... but there are a lot of great ways to make it much quieter on you tube so I will be doing that this weekend. I have a manual transfer switch on my house and after switching to the generator I went all over the two story house and turned on every light, every fan, the. offee maker, a couple of space heaters and the microwave and fridge. I went back outside and it had not yet broken a sweat. that says it all!!!

I really like this generator!

I use this as a home back up generator. I run it on natural gas. It's powerful enough to run most of my house. It's quieter than my 25 year old one. Only have 10 hrs on it so far. But it's running fine so far. I wrote this review for the free tee shirt. It is a good generator.
