This generator has saved us plenty of times when we have been without power for extended periods of time. It has plenty of wattage to power our refrigerator to keep our groceries from spoiling. I also use it without any issues at job sites when there is no access to power for my tools. I have used both the gasoline and propane features to power the generator and every time it starts up and runs without any issues. The quality of this generator is very good and can tell it will last without any issues.

I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. My home is spring-fed, which comes down from 3500" to a 1000 gal. polypropylene tank about 300' up from the house. The tank developed a major crack by which only plastic soldering is the only remedy to patch the cracks. I purchased the 3500watt generator for the purpose of having electricity up on the mountain. Took it up there with my ATV and cart. The repair was a total success. My other motive for purchasing the 3500-watt unit is to take it further up the mountain to build an elevated hunting blind. This unit will be sufficient to handle my power tools. The weight is not over burdensome to handle, so I feel very pleased. The power per size is excellent for use on my mountain. I definitely would recommend this unit for the outdoors.

Power loss of last years winter set me on this path. Price was good for this size generator. I will be using this with my RV and to provide home power to refrigerators/freezers and heat to the house in power failures. I have never use a propane fueled generator but after setting this up I'm good to go. Shelf life of propane is so much greater and easy to get in my area. My new generator stared on the third pull right after set up out of the box. Ran great. Tested it under a load and it continued to keep on truckin. As I get older things just keep getting heavier and the one complaint is that I think it should have come with the wheel kit initially. I had to got out and buy it later but it was easy to install. The wheel kit is a must for me. So far so good.

This is my first generator.. I bought it to take camping with me.. It's perfect for me and my partner to use and powers up everything we need it to.. It's not too big or loud either. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends and family if they needed one.. I was told by a friend that this brand was a good one and they were right..

As easy as 1-2-3 !! Remove from the box , add .06 10w-30 oil and 3.5 gallons of gas . One slow easy pull and fired up immediately using the gas option . So easy to pull start my 7 yr old granddaughter could start it . A little noise but not near as loud as the big boy generators are . At 112 lbs it's a little heavy and bulky , I will be purchasing the wheel kit .Very happy I went with this unit instead of a bigger unit . Will work great for the occasional power outages we experience in NC several times a yr .

This is an extremely reasonably priced generator which provides surprisingly clean power (despite not being an inverter generator). I've only used it for about 10 hours so far, but it starts quickly and runs smooth. The biggest drawbacks are 1) There is no hour meter, which would have been an inexpensive yet welcome addition, especially to track the necessary maintenance intervals. 2) The generator is HEAVY. There is a wheel kit for separate purchase, but it would have been nice to have been included. All in all a great generator for the price!

Just bought this today. Went through the last 2 hurricanes without one. Yes, you should leave but I am a biologist and my job requires me to work the hurricane. So, I have to stay. My wife and children stay if it is below a Cat 4. House can take it and we are 18 ft above sea level. I do not want to have a house full of hot and mean woman to come home too or get cell calls from while I drive around getting waste water and drinking water plant back up running. I did a lot of research and this model was the best for the money. The duel fuel means I can put a 100 lbs tank on, start it up and leave for work with 3 women happy at home with a/c, TV, frig and the Internet. They don't have to do anything. No Gas or restarting required by them! It works great. Came home, put some Mobil 10w30 in and start right up. I nplug in a portable a/c, TV, frig and Internet and this thing ran like a sewing machine. I am ready for weather and hope that I will never need it. Get off the fence and just buy one. It really does feel good to know your are ready this time.

I have no interest in the storage, maintenance, and smell of gas. So finding this dual fuel generator that would allow me to use my outdoor grill propane tanks was a real win. The quick start instructions are very easy to follow - and the generator fired right up (on propane) when we needed it during a power outage. Shutting the tank off and letting it "starve" for fuel means no fuel left in the generator for storage. It provided all the power we need to keep food from spoiling, devices charged, and fans spinning. Way to go Champion! I almost knocked a star off because this thing is hard for one person to maneuver. At just over 100lbs, wheels would be a real help. But it keeps the star because for the price I paid, even without wheels, it's a great purchase that I would happily make again. An excellent value.

im a mobile car detailer and use this generator almost daily to power my 20g air compressor my vacum and my shampoo machine. it does take like 5 to 6 pulls to turn on but never really had an issue with it so far im going on six months of constance use

I powered it up for the first time since I bought it. I used it for welding the fence; perlins to oil field pipe. It seems to bog down at the start of each weld but otherwise adequate. The temp wagon isn't very safe, needs heat shields to protect the propane bottle from the exhaust.
