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

I live pretty far from the grid, and frequently lose power each year but typically not more than a day. I got this to recharge my Anker F3800s when an outage exceeds two days. I basically use the F3800 and Solix Home Power Panel as a house UPS. It lets me recharge them on propane at their full 1800W recharge rate if they deplete before the grid comes back online.There was a couple extra bolts & nuts in the shipping container that was not identified as being included/required, but after going through the assembly with a fine tooth comb I couldn't find any missing hardware so fingers crossed it doesn't fall apart.Otherwise it assembled easily enough and once the nearly dead battery was recharged, it fired right up on propane and now sits ready for the next major outage. I did add a maintainer connection to the battery to make sure that it's always ready.

Excellent. Works great!

The electric start feature makes it incredibly convenient to use, especially during emergencies. I love the flexibility of dual fuel capability, allowing me to switch between gasoline and propane based on availability. The wheel kit is a lifesaver when it comes to portability, making it easy to move the generator around my property.

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**

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!

We recently went thru Hurricane Beryl.It got full contact exposure to a hurricane and came thru with impressive results.We lost power to the house over 24 hours. The electric start came in very useful for my wife as she can't easily pull the cord. We covered in a canopy outside in a Cat 1 hurricane and it kept on working! The fuel efficiency on this is impressive. Filled the tank and it lasted over 24 hours nonstop with no refills needed. We alternated between fans and phone chargers and worked remarkably well. I also like how portable and maneuverable it is!It did appear to be louder than our neighbors but it is 4700+ (so I guess that is to be expected)For the reliability and price -- THIS is the one to buy!

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.
