This thing is a horse. I can power my whole house with it since I have installed the "soft start" on my home AC unit. We also use while remote camping. will power our camper that has 2 AC units with plenty of power to spare. We have powered 2 campers on this both using 1 AC unit.

I bought this a few weeks ago and so far I am very happy with this. I upgraded from a gas only generator that was very noisy and constantly had problems with the carburetor. This model is very quiet, I cant hear it inside the house. Assembly was easy and quick, operating it was much easier that my previous generator. I had a computer fry from my previous generator that did not have sine wave technology. Very happy with my purchase.

Once I got it assembled, I was pleased with how quiet it runs. Also, the many features such as dual fuel, battery start, and info readout are great. But Champion needs to improve their quality control on mounting holes for the feet and axle. One foot would mount on either side with no problems, but the other made a tight fit for the fourth screw, on either side of the unit and no matter which hole was left for last. Likewise, and even more difficult was mounting the axle - which required a socket wrench and even then I was afraid I was stripping the threads, it was so hard to screw all the way in - which the directions said to make sure was done! Again, no combination of placement or selection of the order of fastening the screws could prevent this. Please improve your welding jigs for the axle, and implement better inspection and more consistently accurate metal forming of the feet. I was also disappointed in the rating of the highest-current output. For use as a home backup generator, one would expect that a user would want to get the maximum possible output current. But there is no such thing as a 37.5A transfer switch/breaker available. My electrician and I finally agreed on 50A breaker. I don't know whether even a 40A is commonly available. Also, there are manual circuit breakers on the unit's panel for every outlet EXCEPT the 37.5A, which is concerning - again since one would expect a user to want to access the largest current source for home backup. This should at least be addressed in the User Manual. Finally, Champion's covers' dimensions do not match those of at least this generator. The recommended cover had dimensions too small to fit, and the largest cover was too long, but that allowed me to cover my propane bottle, too. I look forward to many years of availability for home backup use, for as a whole the unit seems to be manufactured with very high quality, despite the glitches noted.

I purchased this generator to replace a smaller Generac pull-start generator. The Champion 9000 run 11000 peak amps will allow me to run almost everything in my home during a power outage including a fridge, freezer, heating, well pump, and lights. The electric start is great. The older I get the harder it is to pull-start the Generac. This is the third piece of Champion equipment that I own. I have a 7-ton log splitter and a 22" tiller. They make a great engine. Starts easily every time!

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.

Home backup / portable welding plasma cutting very nice generator inverter at a great price. Dual fuel right out of the box. Easy to maneuver and surprisingly quiet. This thing is literally as quiet as my harbor freight 3500 predator practically. Also this unit in my opinion is nicer than harbor freights 9500 inverter, its also cheaper and comes with a 3 year warranty. Seems very durable but only long term ownership will be able to validate that. Otherwise very nice unit would highly recommend. Great features. Only thing it lacks is remote start and parallel capabilities which honestly is something id never use anyway so i bought it. Ive owned another champion begore and it was great.

I brought for food Trailer is less noisy than predator i really happy with all features

I purchased this generator for home power backup. It is a great value! It is large enough for my peak loads. I have it hooked up to a manual transfer switch on my main power. It makes for an affordable solution for whole home backup.

We bought this unit as a backup for essential home appliances. It is very quiet, and easy to roll around. 4 star given due to the fact that you have to use a tool check the oil. Unscrewing 4 screws to get to the dipstick is not handy.

Superb ultra-quiet generator, very easy to assemble and start with propane—everything went smoothly. I conducted a few tests, and it seems powerful enough to run almost everything in my house during a power outage. My rating: 100%!
