A quality machine, I powered on and tested. Started on the second pull, all outlets were putting out good voltage. I use ethanol free gasoline, by my calculations 20 gallons of gas will get me through 3 days without power, from past experience gas is available at service stations after that. The fuel efficiency, output wattage, price and good reviews is the reasons I chose the Champion 3500W.

1 star so far. Unboxed the unit, followed all pre start steps, put fuel in it and the fuel ran out between the cab and the intake port. Contacted CS and they have been great so far but still waiting for parts. So I have not even started this unit yet.

I bought this generator because I live in an all-electric neighborhood and I really needed some support. The dual fuel generator is a great option, and using the propane option prevents me from having to use gasoline stabilizers in the off-season. The generator isn't weather resistant, and like most companies they sell a solution. Because this generator is required to be outside, I'd love to see a better price or better options for protecting it from rain incursion. Also like most generators it doesn't have wheels for easy transport, but a creative person can get this thing more mobile for less money. (Square Furniture dolly) The generator is quiet enough, and powerful enough for my needs.

After spending much time researching, this Champion Dual fuel is the best for the price I could find. This will only be used for emergency / power outages. I prefer the propane fuel option which, due to the consumption rate of 50% for normal running 3150 wattage output, is said to only use one tank of fuel per 10.5 hrs. That means running only when I need it, lets say 5 hours per day during an outage, I could realistically power what I need and keep my food cold for about a week on just two or three tanks kept in reserve. I also have the gasoline option, but only plan to use that in an emergency if there is a shortage of propane after I run out of my reserve. Propane is cleaner and I expect the generator life to be long if I only use that type of fuel.

Got it ready for Hurricane Ian. At first I could not get it to run more than a minute. I contacted Champion and got a great guy who explained to keep adding oil until I could see it hitting the threads of the dip stick area. Luckily hurricane stopped short of my area.

Set up was straightforward. Instructions Are well written. We added a wheel kit making it easy to move around. Purchased to power essentials around our home and this fits the bill perfectly. We feel confident in being able to handle the next outage and will also use this for outdoor projects.

My wife and I are campers and we'd love to Boondock we were a little camper and we needed a good generator. I bought this generator because of the reviews and now that I'm only in worked at several times the reviews are spot on. Great generator and a great price keep up the good work

I bought this prior to Florence and when the power went out, it started on the first pull and ran for 3 and 1/2 days with no problems. Ran frig, freezer, microwave, and all the chargers and lights we needed! Used both Propane and gasoline. Very Happy.

I did a lot of research before buying. Overall, on several sites, the Champion was listed as a great product. I bought this one because I wanted the propane fuel option. We use the inverter/generator for boondocking with our camper. I am very happy with it. I would buy it again. Great machine at a great price! Thank you, Champion! E Havelick

I use this generator 3 to 5 times a week in a food trailer. I LOVE that it is dual fuel. I thought that using propane wouldn't be very efficient but I was WRONG! This little generator has NO problems powering all my equipment. I could not be happier with my purchase.
