What else is there to say!

Purchase this mainly due to the tri fuel option. I have a natural gas hookup and never have to worry about running out of fuel again during an outage. Yes, it may drop a little in wattage using the natural gas option but the safety of my family comes before a few extra watts. I previously owned a champion generator that I convert it to natural gas using an aftermarket carburetor, but decided to upgrade to a more powerful pre-installed natural gas hookup. I complete it the 5-hour break-in, changed the oil, and did a test run on the panel and it worked flawlessly. These are one of the things that you hope you never have to use but when you do you'll be glad it's a champion!

great value superb service

Power back up for 1800 sqr foot home. great feature that it will run on three fuels propane natural gass and gasoline since when the power goes out iver a wide area the gass station are unable to pump gass and when you do find some you had better be prepared to wait in line.

Love this generator

I set up this generator to run in my garage, which is not recommended, but I took many precautions that made it safe. It came with a CO detector plus I added another one as back up, bought a compatible extender exhaust system for thru the wall, installed a exhaust fan and opened windows in the garage for ventilation. I think the generator looks great and runs well too. I really like using natural gas for for my purpose.

Better than expected

Very user friendly really like TriFuel fearure. We are running this unit to power our two freezers and refrigerator in case of inclimate weather. We choose to use the natural gas feature as there will not be a concern about constantly checking fuel levels.

Love it

I recently purchased a tri fuel gen. I'm a beginner at all of this gas generator stuff but I was tired of the power going out and the solar or battery generators just barely getting us by. I haven't used it for a power outage as I didn't have time to break it in and I couldn't get it running due to heavy snow. But I was able to fire it right up today and I find it to be pretty easy considering I'm new at this type of toy.

I love Champion generators

I previously owned a champion generator 9750 watts but it was destroyed in a fire. So as a replacement, I decided to go with the tri-fuel for 3 reasons. I have natural gas, access to propane, and regular gas. So I have 3 options for fuel. I love the fact that I am able to connect this to my natural gas line and run portions of my home on this generator. I haven't called the plumber for the natural gas connection yet, but I have this option and I'm happy. Champion has never disappointed me. I would highly recommend this brand. I have a Champion garden tiller also.

Easy to setup and use. Plenty of power

Bought this as a backup for some recent power outages. I didn't need the NG option but I have multiple propane bottles and plenty of gas on hand. The generator is easy to put together and use. Fuel consumption is on par with anything in this wattage range. It kept the heat and lights on.

Would definetly purchase again.

Tri-fuel generator works awesome. Had a problem getting it to run on propane at first and I narrowed problem down to regulator on hose. Called champion tech support, they sent a replacement hose, works awesome. Finished 5hour break-in period, changed oil now ready for power outages. Generator ran my entire house including central unit on natural gas. I have a few friends that own one now.

Trifuel

Will be using this as a backup generator to my home. I will only be using natural gas. Had a manual transfer switch installed on my home. Generator seems to support all my requirements. I can even run my 3.5 ton a/c unit as long as I don't run much more in the home. Generator works much harder when running the a/c unit and pulls 20 to 22 amps. The real test will be if needed during or after a hurricane. Last year was out of power for 11 days.

So far, so good

We bought this to install as a whole house generator after the winter 2021 storm. Have only used it to test that it will run all essential systems, including 4 ton A/C. Worked like a charm. Love the tri-fuel capability but made one addition to what came in the box. We will be using Natural Gas. I did not want the NG hose outside when not in use so I added an additional quick-disconnect at the house and on the hose.
