Champion Power Equipment4750-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator with Electric Start, Wheel Kit

Best fuel fuel for the money!!!! Amazon expertly delivered on this offering a lifeline in a time of desperate need. Followed a devastating tornado without electricity for weeks. We had already bought 2 from other local retailers that were the last display models ( from prior returns) and were actually broken (or had a depleted battery) and the other retailers refused the returns. So we were ambivalent to buy yet a third but decided to go for it. Within minutes it was up and running and we are saved from the heat and can run a load of laundry. Can’t say enough of how grateful this makes us!

Excellent. Works great!

Four days without power. Had a small solar generator got us thru somewhat but not great for long term use takes to long to recharge on solar not enough power for our needs. This generator was saving grace for us on 4th day looks like it could be at least a week.Thanks for helping us through this rough spell.

Works well during power outages. My only complaint is that it is noisy.Build quality:very sturdy

We ordered this to cope with the power outage and flooding in East TN. It shipped a day sooner than anticipated and although the box was a little roughed up the unit came undamaged. It's important to read the manual and watch a couple of YouTube videos before you do anything. Otherwise assembly is easy. It comes with the correct amount of oil and a funnel. The battery needed charging so we had to manually pull start it. Put on full choke gave three pulls, waited a few moments and repeated this. Then we moved it to a halfway point (it clicks into place) between choke and run (its actually 75% choke according to the manual). Started right up. We ran it 4 hours solid on propane and the battery charged. Cut the engine and let it cool, then ran about an hour and a half on gasoline. Follow the break-n instructions for first five hours, (plug in different wattages of use to vary the load and change the oil after five hours). So far so good but after 11 days of outage the power came on the day before the generator arrived. After this experience, the generator is a keeper for, God forbid, the next time. I would definitely recommend this machine and suggest relying more on the propane option as we found you can find propane during these events much easier than you can find gasoline.

We keep this at the off grid camper. Does what it says. Never had any issues. Have over 700 hours on it.

The media could not be loaded. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT TO POWER ELECTRONICS OR AS A BACK-UP GEN FOR A SOLAR HOME. I purchased this product to backup and charge batteries in an off-grid solar home in December 2021. The inverter would not accept generator input and for the short periods that it did connect, there were problems with the electronics in the home (Leds flickering, Fridge turning off, problems with phone and PC). Initially, we didn't know if the problems were the generator of the system charge controller. After testing by an expert, the conclusion was that the generator frequency changes with load. With no load the frequency is almost steady with only 50-100 rpm motor fluctuations. For any load above 900 W or7 amps AC, frequency jumps from 58-65 Hz. For higher loads, the generator is unstable and the system charge controller at the home disconnects. Champion was notified and sent a video of the problem. After much stalling, and demands that we carry out "tests" they sent us to their local authorized service rep, who did routine maintenance, didn't fix the problem, and charged me $100. Finally, AFTER A YEAR, I was informed that this model "is not an inverter model" (no where does it state that in the sales information). A video of the generator under light load is included. A previous Champion that I purchased in 2016 worked fine with my inverter. NOTE THAT IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS THIS COMPANY DOES NOT HONOR IT'S WARANTEE AND DOES NOT STATE THAT THE GENERATOR IS NOT AN "INVERTER MODEL". Wish I had returned it when the problem was first noticed, before Amazon support stopped! I hope to take the case to small claims court in NM when I return.

First impressions were good. Unit was easy to set up. To add or drain oil you will need to literally lie on the ground to do so. For some that may be an issue and at 120 pounds just lifting it up on to a workbench likely not possible for 1 person. Then I noticed the front face plate had damage (see photos). The box did not arrive in a damaged state that would suggest it had occurred during shipping. I have contacted customer support and will update with how that works out. **excellent customer service, received replies to my emails in less the 24 hours, they will be shipping the replacement for the damaged part, very pleased with their quick resolving of the problem**I ran it for the 1st hour as part of the break in period and the clock showed 3 hours. Now perhaps it is ran for a couple of hours as part of the quality control process but I will watch that closely to see if it is accurate. Ran it for a 2nd hour after changing the oil and the unit was surging at idle now. Most common cause is a partial blockage of the idle jet in the carburetor- not something one would expect after less than 2 hours of operation. **added some mechanic in a bottle and the surging is no longer a problem and the unit has been running perfectly**Hoping these issues are resolved quickly and without hassle. Unit does appear well constructed and fired right up- but can go either way with if I could recommend this brand/model.**needed to email champion again on when the replacement part would arrive (mid January)- never received a reply but the part arrived a week later. Not perfect but they did do what they said they would**
