Great Generator

I like this generator because it come from the factory and would run on natural gas. Wheels and Support legs were very easy to install. The funnel supplied made it very easy to add the oil. Then I looked for the oil drain and was very glad to see it had a drain tube attached to it that will make it very easy to drain the oil.

Happy with my purchase

I have not used it yet, this is completely a back up source to power my house. Although, when I opened the box I was pleased to see what I purchased so far, this generator looks very strong and powerful, very well built and sturdy. I will be powering it up soon for a test run.

perfect size, good quality, and features for the money

This is my 2nd Champion generator, I bought a 2000W for camping. This one for home emergency use. I like the tri-fuel feature. I don't plan on using gasoline until I absolutely need to. I will primarily use propane and plan to add a hookup to my home's natural gas line. The generator came with everything needed. First thing before adding oil is to install the wheels and feet. Turning the generator on its end makes this very easy. I then added oil small amounts at a time. Started the generator with propane fuel. I showed my wife and had her start it too. As well as have her maneuver the generator around to get a feel for it. It's quite heavy. I have confidence this will meet our needs in an emergency. In northern CA its mainly due to power brownouts and wildfires because of our inept dysfunctional moronic unreliable CA govt. At least I have a good reliable generator that gives me fuel options to provide power.

I'm sorry I waited so long to purchase

I'm not an engine guy. I wanted emergency power for after storms. I did a quick "back of an envelope" calculation of my power needs. I purchased the Tri Fuel generator as I have natural gas available. I also purchased the weather cover. I had an electrician add an outlet connected to the breaker box and installed the breaker lock out myself. The gas connection was simple and I have a little plumbing experience, so that was easy for me. I followed all the instructions in the manual for engine break-in and normal starting procedure. The engine started easily every time I've tried it. After an unexpected power outage (not a storm, just a problem with the neighborhood power,) I timed how long it would take to restore power with the generator. Without rushing, the power was up and running in under 10 minutes. I can easily recommend this generator.

Would recommend this product to friends and family.

Purchased generator last year, 2022. Stored in shed, son installed additional wheels to move from storage shed to a safe space to run when needed. After having installed the gas line and transfer switch, the Tri-Fuel Generator started on first start. Very impressive. Feel ready for power outage if needed.

Runs fine ... but...

Product arrived on time and in perfect condition. However, I was tried to remove the spark arrestor because i was going to place it in ventilated gen box... One of the small bolts was cross either threaded or completely over torqued on installation It would not loosen even with wd-40 or oil, and eventually snapped off trying to remove. . Which makes me wonder about other tolerances and build issues

Awesome Generator

I bought this generator as a backup for power outages here in Michigan. In winter storms we lose power often and for days and I needed something that I could rely on to power my home. My home is on the smaller side so this generator will power most everything in my house. The natural gas hook up is incredible. The option of three fuels though really makes this generator versatile and perfect for any use.

I love my new Generator

Opened the box today and got it set up in about 30-45 minutes (from opening the box to running the generator). Very easy to follow instructions, both in the Quick Start Guide as well as the owners manual. So simple - no tools needed (except to open the box!!!). Everything in the box needed to get power quickly with any of the three fuel sources. I use gasoline and natural gas. Very happy!!!

Quality Product

This is my first generator, but I work on small engines around the house often, so I'm very aware of the problems associated with gas engines. This is the main reason I wanted something that could avoid the use of gas altogether. The set up was simple and the pictures were helpful to show you exactly how to prepare for start up. After adapting the supplied hose to my gas line and checking for leaks I hit the start button. It took a few tries and I moved the choke around slightly, but it fired up quickly. Runs smoothly and I have no worries about the gas going bad as it sits. Overall a great product at a reasonable price.
