I cannot tell you how great this generator is! We used it to go camping, and when our lights went out due to power outage! It keep the lights on when everything went dark! Easy to start and run! Thank you for making such an amazing product! I always tell all my friends, but a Champion! Big Dog Jones

My generator is used primarily to power lawn/garden tools. It easily handles all that I have connected to it including an electric mower. I purchased this on because of its dual fuel capability which in retrospect was a good decision. It starts immediately on propane, runs smoothly and I don't have to worry about carburetor fouling as I would if using today's junk gasoline.

I am a woman and there were ladies asking me questions about it before I made it to checkout. Many do not have someone at home to help and I had never used one before either. My husband is totally disabled but sat outside to talk me through the steps. I can tell you the instructions need a little more labeling but they are clear after reading 4 times. Especially the choke diagram. (The far left is full choke and the right is run. Propane needs the 75% or 3rd long line on a first crank cold start.) For propane, make sure the fitting are tight but don't over tighten. Don't forget your oil they provide. They also incude a funnel and you really need it. I am using propane and had a Masterplug cord reel from Sam's Club plus bought a second one. I plugged in the chest freezer and a light to one, then the fans and personal electronics in the other. The propane lasted from 6:30 pm until 7:15 am. I am over joyed. The motor never bogged down. Now, on propane it cost me $68 initial purchase per tank, but I can swap the tanks for a filled one at about $20 per tank. I bought 3 initial tanks. I thought it might only last 6 hours; but it went over 12. Now I will need to buy one more generator and will have plenty juice for a refrigerator, or coffee? I might be able to plug in more but I don't want to overload the cord reels. I hope this helps someone. Oh, and it does vibrate a little so it will move a tiny bit over the use. Make sure to point the exhaust screen away from your home; it is a black metal sqare box with a small round screen in it. It will get very hot also, like an oven. Finally, be aware of monoxide fumes and keep it in open air. Enjoy!

Love it, during an extended power outage it was awesome to be able to use the fridge, know that the freezer was safe. We ran the TV, DVD, and fish tank. Even plunged in a floor heater at night. Starts first pull every time, even my nine year-old grandson can start it. Very pleased. If there was one bad thing, it's a little noisy but that comes with the territory of a 3500 watt generator.

Bought this to protect food and provide lights during utility companies shut down during wind events. Unit started on first pull after set-up and never required more than 2 pulls at other times. All food SAFE and lights available at night. My only complaint is minor. I feel the gas tank filter is too small, requiring slow fueling but I can live with that.

Comes with the oil, funnel, and propane hose which is appreciated. Set it up with propane for the cleaner burn and lower maintenance. After a couple pulls started right up. I ran it on a varying 10%-45% for 5 hours to break it in and it ran great. It only used about 1 gallon of propane (or 4.1 lbs) so less than a third of my little 15lb tank which I was happy about. I put mine on a cart for now but I'll probably buy the wheel kit soon as others have mentioned. It is quite noisy so that might be a consideration for you. I had it running behind my house but when I went to the front the house I could barely hear anything so it probably won't be loud enough to annoy neighbors > 100 feet away. Tip: when adding the oil, it seems the .6 liters of oil it comes with is just a little too much so I'd recommend stopping at about 90% and checking the oil level as to not overfill.

Bought it during Hurricane Laura and ran it 24 hors a day for 7 days. Then for 24 hours a day for 3 days for the 2nd hurricane. Put Castrol edge synthetic 10w30 in it and even changed it 2 times. Ran regular gas in it and a tank of propane just to see how it did. I was amazed at how long it would run on both gas and propane. Truly a magnificent and dependable piece of machinery. Sold on Champion.

While I haven't had to use this generator yet, the design and build are quality. It is very easy to start up and easy to choose between gas and propane. For the price, I am very happy with the purchase to have peace of mind in the event we need backup power.

Bought this 2 years ago for the occasional power outages that happen im my neighborhood. Glad I did, the winter storm that hit Texas caused us to lose power for 4 days. This generator ran space heaters, lights, two fridges, kept our phones charged for communication with family, and the all important TV (for the kids). Did use a bit of gas to keep everything running but managed about 7 hours a tank. The generator was truly a life saver!

I recently purchased a camper and the power went out on our first outing. I knew that I would need a generator for future outings just in case. I did a lot of research and asked a lot of people and finally settled on a Champion 3500W witch I purchased at a local warehouse at a very reasonable price compared to many that I researched. Once I brought it home and set it up it worked up to my expectations. I am very satisfied with this product and it's performance. The only improvement I could ask for is that they include wheels for easier mobility. Fortunately the brackets are provided so that I can add the wheels.
