I just received my generator and finished the assembly. It was sooo easy to do. I hooked up my propane and followed the startup procedure to the T and it started immediately. Im not surprised as this is my second champion generator. That generator works like a champ-ion as well. I LOVE the new tri fuel. Amazing!!!

The idea of not having to use gasoline and still have two other sources of fuel, propane and natural gas, sold me on getting a Tri-Fuel generator. What made a first time buyer decide that Champion's 3 fuel Gen would be for me. It's not like I could go somewhere and test out different generators. I talked to a fellow who purchased a Champion generator several years ago and he told me it never failed to start. That and along with all the information I dug through on the internet kept taking me back to Champion as the one to use for my home backup system. The "Value" of Champion's Tri-Fuel Generator and not having gasoline as my main fuel sold me on this unit and Brand Name. For some reason I had so much confidence in my new generator after installing the accessories I decided to continue finishing setting up my home to accept a Natural Gas Generator. I didn't get around to starting my new Champion a few weeks after purchasing it, until yesterday 12 20 22. The house gas line was yet to be installed so I used the propane tank from my grill and the Champion generator fired right up and after a couple of minutes I read the voltages coming from the plugs and they were spot on. It's now my second favorite machine along side of my Corvette. I honestly expect my Champion generator will not let me down after my 5 star review, when I put it to work. Early on after looking over the manual I noticed it was a "Bonded" generator and seeing how it was purchased mainly for use as my home electric backup system, I thought it should have a floating neutral. I called Champion technical service and receive quick information on how simple it was to make it a floating neutral. I was also giving instructions on how easy it would be to return it to a bonded system. The technical representative even gave me a tip if I was to only use the generator rarely as a standalone I could purchase a plug on line when plugged into one of the receptacles it would make it bonded neutral GEN.

We bought this as a back-up generator for when the power goes out. Our electrician installed a quick release, new gas hook-up and the generator breaker on the main panel of the house. We have not had to use it yet, but have tested it and it powers everything we want and need without dragging down. We are very happy with the tri-fuel system!

This product is perfect for those seldom times when the power goes out. I have it hooked into my natural gas source, so I really never have to worry about if I have enough fuel keep my house functioning while I wait for the power problems to get resolved. It's a peace of mind!

I unpacked it and got it up and running in a half hour. It was really easy to get the propane and natural gas options going. I love not having to worry about rushing to the gas station in a panic and waiting in line for gasoline. To break it in, I hooked up a portable air compressor to it, opened the drain valve slightly, and let the generator run for an hour. The small air leak ensured that the compressor cycled on and off causing the generator to vary its speed a little, which is recommended by the owners manual. I feel bad for the people in South Florida. I haven't replaced my generator before Hurricane Ivan, and I hope another 18 years goes by without needing this new generator.

I bought because of being able to use Natural gas and regular gas. Easy to set up. I had a manual switch box installed for power outage. Hooks up in minutes and runs the whole house. (3100 square feet) Only 2 people but runs the furnace/Ac plus any outlets I need. Using Natural Gas means it will run all day. Used for 23 straight no worries. It's a little loud but used all 25 feet of hose and once inside don't really hear it.

I purchased this larger generator to be able to run my house if we ever lose power for extended period of time. I recently plumbed my house for a gas range and put in an extra branch for a potential natural gas generator. I thought, if I have natural gas available, why mess with gasoline or propane. The unit arrived via special truck carrier as it is a heavy box for the average person. Assembly was super easy! Minutes. The fold in handle used to roll the unit around is super nice and easy to roll this heavy unit around even through grassy yard. Really nice NG hose with quick disconnect is included as well as the LP Gas hose and regulator! Hooked up NG hose to generator and with all settings selected for Natural Gas, started unit within just a few seconds of cranking. I disconnected the main power coming into my breaker panel and used my 30 AMP/240 Volt to plug into my exterior generator plug. I started up breaker by breaker until I had the essential power to all areas of my house. Started the AC/unit, and several other circuits and could quickly see that 8000 Watts is more than enough for running the AC plus all refrigerators and freezer and household lights, etc. With some simple power management strategies this unit could provide all the power I need in a crisis plus several neighbors could plug into me to run their freezers in a pinch. The generator is assembled to easily change the oil when that time comes (1.2 Qts 10W-30). After break-in period (10-20 hrs) I plan to convert to synthetic oil. Noise level is reasonable. You can hear it running from inside the house, but there is some simple sound shielding that could be built to minimize noise. The unit very efficiently cools the engine and the generator. I am super impressed with this unit! I will probably order the high altitude carb jet in case I decide to escape the city and head to the mountains if things get any crazier than they already are.

The 10000/8000 trifuel generator looks to be well built and the price was decent.It has a lot of important features like trifuel and multi gfci 120v outlets and a 120v nema L5 30R and nema L14 30R and the most used for me is 120/240 v 30amp twist lock plug which is the most used when the power is out.I tried the propane selection with a 20lb tank and it started up right away.Natual gas is why I bought it and it works exellent.Follow the instructions on choke run to start it will help. I will never use gas again, propane for mobile and natural gas for home well done Champion.

This is the perfect solution for my home that already has natural gas. When the next hurricane causes a power outage, we will be ready and not have to endanger our lives trying to purchase gasoline. I like this portable vs a fixed whole home generator because my lot is not big enough to have the required spacing from the house to properly place it.

I got this for power outages, the generator has been easy to set up. I do have a lot of reading to do because of it being tri-fuel. It came well-packed and everything was in the box. I will give an update when I get it broken in. So far so good, I think I will get another one for my other house.
