The unit was shipped extremely well packed. Simple instructions had me up and running the unit in about 30 minutes. I elected to initially use propane, and hook up was a cinch. The unit fired up right away and handled the electrical draw easily. Other things I liked, include the ease of adding oil and future oil changes. The quick connect for the propane is well placed and simple to use. Looking forward to many years of service.

Just bought. Impressed how everything you need to start up is in the box. Instructions easy and clear. No issue installing handles/wheels. Once ready, started right up by electric start but also tried the pull start which I can do but when my wife tried she was unable to do. Although it wieghs 205 lb I can move around easily but on this one my wife was able to wheel around. We are currently waiting for our electrician to come to get set up into our main panel for the house. We are confident this is going to be a great back power supply.

Did the upgrade here from my trusty Champion 7500 duel fuel. I wanted more power PLUS have clean inverter power. This unit is amazing!! I’m running basically my entire home - can’t be happier! FYI… Florida west coast resident and were hit hard last year - I’m ready as can be for this season. Well done Champion!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this generator after extensive shopping for an upgrade from a different brand which gave me trouble during a recent outage. I decided to go for Champion based on the reputation and reviews I have seen and heard over recent years. This generator has performed flawlessly so far and impressed me with the quality. It runs quiet considering it's size and seems very well made. This is the first portable generator I have seen that has a real metal dipstick like a car, not a stumpy plastic thing like most others. It started instantly after adding oil and connecting the battery which was already fully charged from the factory according to my charger. It runs everything in my house except for the 3 ton AC, which will probably run fine with the addition of a soft start device. The only catch to this model is it is very heavy, but that is because it is well made. I have every confidence that this generator will provide excellent service during our next outage. Well done Champion!

I bought this inverter/generator as a back up power source to my home and or Travel Trailer. I am new to owning a generator but found this one to be super user friendly and easy to figure out. I did the 5 hour break in period and ran the travel trailer, a couple of garage refrigerators and my well. I didn't run them at the same time but this thing is so large that pretty sure it could run it all with no problem. After the break in period of 5 hours, I followed the instructions for changing the oil and storing it. I did the break in period over a three week period and I was impressed at how easy it was to pull it out and start it up each time. This unit is quite large, probably could have gotten by with a smaller unit but can't change that now. I bought the storm shield model 100603 but was a little disapointed that because the exhaust is mounted high on the unit, the shield can not cover the unit like I thought it would while its running in bad weather. I can report that the CO Shield works. If you install the storm shield like the instructions say, it will be too low and will trap CO under the cover and the generator will shut off. I raised the cover so that the exhust does not get trapped under the cover and it ran perfect.

Just received my model 201417 inverter generator. I had a smaller Champion Generator before and was very satisfied. After following the easy instructions and firing up my new, much quieter and easy start inverter generator, I know I will be very satisfied with this model also.

it arrived 3 days ago and today the power went out so I got to test it. I went through all the procedures for startup and everything worked as it should. VERY quiet compared to our older generator. It did stutter a little trying to start our house HVAC system for the first time. So far I like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] just recieved my new inverter and set it all up. all went well and unit ran nicely and was extreemly quite. Would have gone 5 stars except the owners manual isnt always clear and there was no thought put into the product around using a trickle charger that should have been built in, if you have a battery on a product that is only used 1-2 times/year you have to think about how the customer will charge it and make it convieneint for them. The display cycles between the modes makes it somewhat useless , would be better to have a button that allows you to cycle between the modes and leave it where you want.

Just got this one delivered today. Its heavy so be sure to have a little help. It was easy to unbox and setup. Filled it up with oil, connected the battery terminals grabbed the propane bottle from the grill to check things out. I am glad I got the dual fuel. After connecting the propane She started right up and ran until I turned it off.

Purchased the 11000 watt dual fuel inverter recently. This generator is awesome! It starts up with ease and is very quiet. I broke it in and have now ran the whole house with it including a 4 ton ac w/ hyper engineering soft start. It barely revs up when it starts. Overall I’m very happy.
