Out of the box, added oil, hooked up the propane threw a couple switches and pulled the cord and I had a working generator. Scary how easy it went. Everything was as advertised. Wish wheels and a handle were included. However I was able to thread a rod that fit the holes and added a couple old lawnmower wheels in about an hour I was wheeling it outside. Next up is a mod to an old lawnmower handle to make it easier to move around. Bring on the weather, we are ready!!

The setup was easy and started right up on the gas & propane. I installed wheels (some I already had). I tried 2 sizes before settling on 4" ones. It's not real heavy, but awkward & little too much to carry any distance. With the wheels it's a breeze.

I purchased this duel fuel generator to have during power outages. So far it starts easily on both gas and propane. I have several full 20 gallon and a 30 gallon propane tanks to use if I run out of gas. So far I've not had a power outage since I purchased the generator, but I have used it running portable power tools, refrigerator, freezer, and various shops lights in the shop. Just a bit louder than I had expected but I am not disappointed with my purchase.

The Best Little Generator Made I own 2 Champion Generators for 2 different uses My main purpose is the small enough to use around the house or away. Whether I am camping farming or anything else that would require this generator The Best Feature is I can operate it with Gas or Propane. My Propane company has installed an adapter (like a gas grill would use) so I can run my generator off my 1000 gallon tank. I still kep a 20 pound tank full in case I need the generator away from my house. Plus my main reason I love the Champion is I never have to drain the gasoline so it will not gel up in the tank or carburetor. Gas is a Great Feature if you prefer to use it that away, I would recommend this 100401 and 100165 generator. I personally do not see any faults This is my second Champion Generator I own. The other Champion Generator 100165 supply power to my home in case of power outage and I can hook it up to my 1000 gallon propane

Emergency power during hurricane outrages. Also power 29 ft travel trailer. A bit heavy, but that size is what is needed for the RV we have. Well packaged, including easy-to-follow instructions. Got the optional wheels and handle kit. Generator started on first pull! Powered the RV A/C with some spare amps for other essentials.

I use this for camping. It has a duel fuel tank which makes the worry of not having a fuel can worth it. If I forget I can use my RV propane to run it. A little loud for campgrounds, but I don't use it at campgrounds, only Boondocking. Small enough to fit in the truck bed, but enough power to push my AC and Fridge easily.

I am a handyman and need to have reliable power for my tools, so I bought this generator to power my equipment at job sites. Since this is my first generator I wanted to fire it up and get familiar with it before I needed it. The instructions were very straightforward and the generator fired up on the first pull. I successfully powered several tools with it as a test. I ran it on gasoline but have not yet run it on propane. The dual fuel capability was a big selling point for me. I also looked at generator reviews on Consumer Reports and was pleased with their reviews of Champion generators, which is why I purchased this one. I have not yet used this new generator on the job site, but I believe it will perform up to my expectations.

The unit was well packaged and required no assembly other than filling with oil (not supplied). The instructions are easy to understand since the operation of the unit is quite simple. A wheel kit can be obtained for less than $40 and only took a few minutes to add on using a 12mm wrench and pliers. Started easily and using propane fuel means you can store it anywhere without concerns about fuel stains or odors.

Generator is newly purchased but I've tried and tested it for the coming winter. It runs a 1HP air compressor and assorted hand tools and doesn't sound as though it's straining at all. This generator is as quiet as advertised, is easy to start (initial start took 2 pulls), and runs equally smooth on LP gas or gasoline. The carton and packing were substantial and the included manual and other information were thorough and user friendly. The included container of oil was a handy item as was a funnel to pour the oil into the engine. Without this funnel it would be difficult to put oil in. The information package includes a 'fast start-up' sheet which helps for the initial operation. With less than 4 hours on this generator, I don't have any complaints or gripes at this point. It starts easy, runs smooth and handles the loads I need it to. As an added bonus, it's a good looking piece of equipment and the cost is very affordable. Just yesterday, I bought a wheel kit which is a 'must-have' if you're going to move the generator any amount. It's difficult to move around without wheels but the wheel kit solved that problem. I would recommend this Champion generator for small to medium-heavy loads and would buy another one if needed.

We recently moved to Florida and one of the requirements to live here is that one must own a generator. I feel like I hit the jackpot with my Champion 3500-Watt Duel Fuel Generator. Easy instructions for a rookie like myself and cranked right up on the first pull. Plan on having this generator for years to come.
