Worth every penny!

Recently purchased to use with my trailer. Love how quiet it is and impressed with how long the fuel lasts. It's easy to move. Have recommended already to my friend's.

Very efficient machine and quiet

Would Recommend

I bought this generator about three weeks ago before a storm and it really worked well for us.So glad I made the purchase. It is very quiet compared to our old one. It ran the whole time I needed it to. Would highly recommend it to my friends. It is very easy to move around and get where I needed it to be.

So Quiet

Would Recommend

We were mainly looking for something that was quiet when running. This totally surpassed our expectations. So easy to use! I can do it if my husband isn't home. It got us through the storm without losing food or our sanity.

Light and loud

Would Recommend

Works every time, super reliable. 5 stars for the weight, not afraid of taking it to the woods 2 stars for the noise, this generator is super loud. But for the price, you can't get better inverter wattage.

Super quiet with plenty of power!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had another Champion generator with our old trailer and needed to up the power with our new one. This is a super quiet machine that runs very efficient and has plenty of power for our newer travel trailer. I highly recommend Champion Equipment!

"Run out of fuel" option!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am most excited about the "run out of fuel" feature!! I am tired of fouled engines!! This model is much quieter than my previous generator. I live in an area with frequent outages, and I am looking forward to many good ours with this unit!

Well-made generator.

Would Recommend

I bought this several weeks ago after reading excellent online reviews and am glad that I did. It is light weight and very quiet. It is very easy to use and is of high quality. I bought this as a backup for my freezer after buying half a cow and it provides ample power and then some. I highly recommend this generator.

Compact Powerhouse

My Champion generator has been a game-changer. I’m impressed by the build quality and user-friendly design. Setup is easy, even for me… with limited mechanical experience. The instructions are clear, and the generator starts easily. I bought this generator to provide reliable backup power during outages. It can handle all of our essentials: lights, fridge/freezer, tankless hot, etc. Having it, gives me peace of mind. The generator is quiet, especially in economy mode. It's barely audible from in...

Pleasantly Surprised

Would Recommend

I purchased this unit the day our power went out, and Champion did not disappoint. Easy setup directions, and it started on the 1st pull. Was able to power 2 refrigerators, 1 fan, 2 stand up lamps, 2 phone chargers and a TV. I could hear other gasoline generators in my neighborhood 2x louder than this generator 20 feet from my ears. I was very satisfied with Champion's quiet unit. When the power came back on 5 hours later, I noticed only 1.8 gallons was used. I'm glad I made this purchase.
