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.

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!

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.

So Far So Good

Bought this Generator for frequent power outages where I live. I couple this with a 30amp power inlet box and it runs my whole house (minus central AC). I work from home and have small AC unit in my office and this generator keeps everything running so I can keep working.

Well Built

Haven't had a lot of time with the generator yet but it appears very well-built. Hooked up to the natural gas supply on the house and it fired right up. The electric start is nice and really like the ability to run on three different fuels. Almost looking forward to our next power outage!

This product is excellent

I like the tri-fuel options. Natural gas, portable propane tank and regular gasoline gives me plenty of ways to plan for the things that you can't plan for. The gas tank is huge for hours of supplemental electric support. The electric starter is my favorite option and so easily started.

Awesome Generator

I have read and researched different generators out there in the past and a few years ago recommended the Champion brand to my in-laws for a duel fuel propane and gasoline model in the 8000W size for emergency backup. They did not want to store gasoline for long term so it seemed like the best option to get a duel fuel propane/ gas system this way propane stays forever and can be used most times of the year. This was very much the case during hurricane season on the east coast of the US. I decided a while ago that my gasoline generator although functional and over ten years old was a good system but my house was recently converted to natural gas and it would be better to have a system that used that unlimited option in blackouts. The Tri-Fuel seems to be the best system out there for all three fuels. It came with all the accessories to run on propane and natural gas so easy to hook up and run right out of the box. Champion offers two starting options on this unit both pull start and battery. The generator even recharges the battery while running but I will keep it on a trickle charge while sitting off in the garage. Champion even makes a all weather canopy to run it in the rain or snow. It seems like this tri-fuel system is a good emergency standby whole house system that will be there for when I need it and offer different fuel options in a world that disaster can strike at any moment. This will offer comfort to my children and father for when the power goes out and a reliable back up is needed, Also the digital readout is great to see the load on the unit as well as the safety of having a CO2 cut off alarm which will turn off the generator automatically if it senses a CO2 buildup in the area. Of course run this outside never in a building or garage. Also keep some working CO2 detectors alarms around the interior of the house as normal safety prevention anyway. Even called the Champion Help Desk line and had great call with any questions answered. A great product

Perfect Generator for Us

This is a beast! Bought this to power our 3200 sq ft. house in case of outage. We had a statewide outage years ago that was expected to last several days and didn't have a generator at that time. Fortunately, it only lasted about 12 hours but with all the grid hacking and fire outages we have in CA we wanted to be prepared. Was going to buy a dual fuel generator, but realized the Tri-Fuel would be perfect for us to run indefinitely on natural gas. It also has plenty of power to run our deep freezer and refrigerator. In the event an earthquake breaks our natural gas line, we still have two other fuel options. We were going to buy a standby generator, but this will do everything the standby would do for a lot less cost. It is easy enough to operate so my wife can start it. We hope we never have to use it but we feel prepared now that we have it.

Tri fuel. WOW

It connects to my home gas line, takes a few minutes to purge the natural gas line and it is running. No more worries about getting gas for the generator. You can take it anywhere and use gas, propane, or natural gas. I have only used it on natural gas so far. Runs great.

Great generator, can't say the same about customer support

The generator is for use when electrical service is out. It more than powers what we need, including a room ac. I really like running the generator on natural gas which means no refueling with gasoline or propane. The natural gas hose came with a quick connect which would not fit. I was told by customer support that there was not such part with this generator. After sending many photos and videos over the period of a week, Champion finally sent me a replacement part. It took a week, numerous emails and phone calls for a fix a problem that should have happened in 5 minutes.
