I have to give it 5 stars in every category. I bought 2, so I could give it 10 stars, and I do. I live in Florida, so a generator is not a luxury. Ok maybe 2 is a luxury. We are supposed to be the Sunshine State, but we have a 6 month long season, all-inclusive of storms, lightning, rain, hurricanes, tornadoes. June 1 thru November 30. Go figure. The following information comes to you, compliments of 2022 Hurricane Ian. I hope this helps you with a few real-time answers about this product. Yes its noisy, its a generator, DUH! It is not bad compared to others. Its a generator, noise is ok. Think of it as peace of mind. Think about it, its great to hear it, because it is working. If you don't hear it, you are out of gas, it is broken, or somebody stole it. A little noise can be a positive. Vibration is minimal compared to my other generator. For the money, its is a GREAT VALUE. For MORE money, its a GREAT VALUE. Performance was great on both on first use. I did the break-in on one in advance, the other, in an actual power outage. Small footprint, smaller than my old generator with more running watts, and more fuel efficient. Nice control panel. LED display gives you readings for Volts and Frequency and Timer (total and current session), with a little button on it to switch between readings. Speaking of Frequency, this is an inverter. So its is CLEAN AC Power. Mine with a calibrated frequency meter tested and measured a steady 60.02 Hz. I am an Electronics Technician, and that's incredible. Better than your house frequency I bet. It is Inverter technology, so your sensitive appliances that cost a lot more than this, will thank you for CLEAN AC. I followed the manual. Easy to read. Do what its says. I called to ask a few questions, and they were very responsive. 3 year warranty. Do take care of it. Treat it good. When you need help, they stand behind their product. My best friend (who recommended this to me) said, changing the oil is "easy". I said, yeah, right! Nope, I was wrong. Is so easy a caveman can do it. I hate changing oil, but its so easy. Just a get a shallow pan, and they have a built-in hose, and they give you flex tube funnel. Speaking of maintenance... 5 hour variable load break-in with a NON synthetic 10-30, then change the oil. I used a synthetic made for small engines made by TORO, but there are several good synthetics out there, I also like Mobil1. Use Ethanol Free fuel. These people worked hard to build a good product at a good price that will be there for you when you need it. So its on you to make sure that its stays that way. Most important, be safe. Any generator has the potential for good... and for bad. Follow the rules in wiring and location. Prepare in advance, so you do not make poor choices in the event of an emergency. Have a plan in place, train yourself and others for safe startup and operation. This applies to all generators. Personal injury, property damage, and death to homeowners and Electric Company workers have resulted because of poor planning and choices. Just a reminder. In summary, I have friends with the same model and they love it, which is why I own it, twice. I have also recommended it to others and they now own it. All are very happy. I would not hesitate to buy again (which I did) or recommend this product to others (also did). Be safe. Peace. I am Spartacus

Did a 1 hour break-in run on dino oil today and it ran great. Started right up and ran it for 30 minutes with no load and the other 30 minutes cycling a heater between 750w and 1500w to put a small load on the engine. Also cycled eco mode a few times to vary the RPM of the engine. Changed the oil and it was a tad dark with a lot of glitter so it's breaking in as expected. Topped off with more Dino oil and plan to run this oil change for the next 4 hours, not exceeding much over 3500w. At that time it will be at 5 hours total and I will change it with full synthetic Lucas 10w30 small engine oil. The unit came well packed but as you can see in the picture the fuel tank must have gotten bumped at the factory because the lip was bent and the paint was split but there was no damage to the outside of the box. I really like the oil drain tube because it makes draining the oil really simple as long as you pull the generator up on car ramps to elevate the drain port higher than the drain pan. The oil funnel that they include is just a small funnel with a clear hose attached to it. It does work but Champion really could have done better here with a custom molded funnel for this generator. The only other thing I wish Champion did was install a built in trickle/float charger for when the generator is sitting for months in the shop or garage. The battery placement and terminal covers on this unit make it difficult to get the clamps from my float charger connected. As far as noise, it's an open frame generator so it is loud but it's noticeably quieter than the Westinghouse WGen7500 that I bought last spring. Definitely a lot quieter in eco mode because the engine throttles down quite a bit. Overall I feel like this is a really good generator. My father in law has a smaller Champion generator that we have used and abused for many years and it still fires up and runs good whenever we need it. If you are looking for a good reliable generator that delivers clean power for sensitive electronics which every house has these days, this is a really good option and worth the cost. I gave it 5 stars because I round up but I would say it's a solid 4.75 out of 5 stars. If I have any issues down the road I will be sure to update my review...

Having moved from being downtown in a big city to being on a lake in a very rural area without many full-time residents, power outages were something that took me a while to get used to. The electric company out here only has a few linemen, and I work from home, so extended outages really became an annoyance. Because of this, I bought this generator with the intention of powering my entire house during an outage. 240v was a must for powering things like my well pump and AC (2 ton Trane), and a pure sine wave inverter generator was necessary due to TVs and laptops not being particularly fond of the dirty power that comes out of most traditional generators. Lastly, I have one of those Tesla Cybertrucks on order, and I’d like to be able to juice it up while camping. Unboxing wasn’t too difficult. The instructions dictate that you cut the box apart, so keep this in mind if you want to return it. Assembly took about an hour and a half and wasn’t particularly difficult, but note that the manual’s pictures show you screwing on several nuts which are actually already welded to the frame – this was confusing. There’s also a small R-pin for attaching the handle that the manual doesn’t mention. Additionally, attaching the negative battery terminal (the positive was already connected) was not that easy because it was hard to access, and I had to undo the battery strap to do it (which was a pain to re-attach the strap). Oiling wasn’t difficult thanks to the included funnel, but putting in the 37.2oz specified in the manual led to dribbling out the filler hole, so you may want to consider adding slightly less so you’re not removing oil like I did. I used 5W-30 Conventional as specified in the manual for cold weather (it’s winter here), but I’ll be switching to full synthetic as allowed in the manual after break-in. I may eventually choose to run 0W-30 as the winters often stay -20°F to 0°F for weeks on end and can drop as cold as -40°F. Powering it up was easy using the electric start but difficult for me (an athletic 30-year-old woman) using the recoil. It sounds much closer to traditional generator than a nice closed-frame inverter gen, but the only option for something like that in this wattage range is the Honda for around $5k, so I can live with the noise. Speaking of noise, I happened to have a decibel meter on hand, so I thought I’d check to see if it really lived up to the claimed spec of 72dBa @ 23 feet. Sadly, IT DIDN’T (except for one instance). Measured at 23 feet (note the tape measure), rounded to nearest whole number: Front Side (side with the outlets): 70dBa – No load, Eco on 77dBa – No load, Eco off 78dBa – 3200w load, Eco on 79dBa – 3200w load, Eco off Muffler Side: 73dBa – No load, Eco on 78dBa – No load, Eco off 77dBa – 3200w load, Eco on 81dBa – 3200w load, Eco off Recoil Side: 73dBa – No load, Eco on 78dBa – No load, Eco off 78dBa – 3200w load, Eco on 79dBa – 3200w load, Eco off Rear Side: 75dBa – No load, Eco on 78dBa – No load, Eco off 80dBa – 3200w load, Eco on 81dBa – 3200w load, Eco off While it never met the advertised 72dBa @ 23ft (except once), I wouldn’t say it was overly loud, either. Inside my house, I could hear that it was running, but it wasn’t bothersome – sounded like a neighbor lawnmowing. Depending on how you look at it, that might be a feature as you’d know if someone was stealing it – a real possibility during an extended outage. Right up next to the generator, it’s obviously much louder – 91dBa on the muffler side standing a couple feet away, 83dBa in front, etc. Overall, I’ll be keeping the generator. I do wish it was fuel injected, but that’s not realistic in this price range. It started well with the electric start, and it wasn’t terribly hard to move with the handle. It’d be nice if the Intelligauge thing showed RPMs, but a girl can dream I guess... I’LL UPDATE THIS REVIEW COME SPRINGTIME when I’ll have a chance to plug it into my house’s power inlet. I’ll be interested in seeing if it can successfully start either my well pump (140ft) or AC (2-ton Trane), and I’ll be able to test both the full starting wattage (8750w) and running wattage (7000w). Additionally, I’ll be able to test fuel consumption. And, several years down the road, I’ll test charging the Tesla, too. UPDATE - 8/21/2020: Time for a bit of an update. Haven't had any extended power outages so far this year, but I have run the house off off it now and again for hours on end to try it out and see how it responds to load. A few observations: -This IS able to start both my 2-ton central AC (without any hard start kit) and my 240v deep well pump, and both ran well. I didn't have to turn off other things to get them to start - it had the power to spare. HOWEVER, I will note that it was NOT able to start my well pump when in ECO Mode. After seeing that it wouldn't start my well pump in Eco Mode, I only tried the AC with Eco Mode off for fear of potentially damaging the compressor motor. Both started easily without any issue when Eco Mode was turned off. The generator does have power to spare, and I was able to run all of my other usual appliances (laptop, dishwasher, toaster, TV, etc) when the AC was running. -It seems a bit louder inside the house than during my initial testing. Perhaps it was the snow that dampened the noise indoors, but now that warmer weather is upon us, I can definitely hear the generator inside my house. It isn't so loud as to be overly annoying, but I do notice it. My house is way over-insulated compared to most houses, so this may be something to consider if you are very sensitive to noise. -I use an Iron Box 8/4 SOOW 100ft extension cord with great results. Many of the 30-amp generator cords out there are 10-gauge, but for 100ft runs, an 8-gauge cable cut down on voltage loss. I get 117v indoors on my outlets when running under load. The 100ft cord allows me to run the generator in my backyard while having it connected to my power inlet in the front yard. If you're looking to use a 100ft cord for the 30a outlet under high load, strongly consider using an 8-gauge cord instead of a typical 10-gauge. -The first oil change was very easy! The drain hose makes it very easy to drain out the old oil, so oil changes are a breeze! -Lastly, I noticed that some of my lights flicker when running off of generator power. All of the lights in my house are the filament-style LED bulbs, and while most run without any flickering, my bathroom lights do have a slight but noticeable flicker when the house is on generator power. I didn't expect this with a pure sine wave inverter generator, so this was...unusual. Other lights, however, didn't have this issue, and I wouldn't expect this to happen with most bulbs. None of my electronics are complaining about dirty power, so this is just a minor annoyance.

Great Open frame inverter generator by champion. The unit has a lot of power and is capable of supplying 220 by use of 4 prong cord(purchased separately). The unit comes with the tire kit and handle and is simple to put together. I will say it’s definitely not a light unit so you may need help if you have to put it somewhere where going up stairs or picked up into a generator shed. Does have electric start and dies come equipped with the inteleguage to keep track of hours. Functions as you would imagine and my only recommendations are replacing the Torch spark plug it’s going to come with(I prefer NGK) and to follow the break in exactly as recommended. I also purchased the Champion cover for mine as well. As with most Champion power equipment it will come with a 3 year warranty. I also recommend going to their site and registering your product. Just know the design of this is what they call “Open Frame” so it’s not the other style known as “Closed Frame” so it’s still a little on the loud side but no louder than you would expect a unit of this size being. You also have the benefit of using the throttle control switch which unlike normal generators these being inverter only run at the rpm needed for the amount of draw you are calling for.

This doesn't affect my review of the product, but getting this generator delivered was a pain. It was shipped via UPS, signature required. I made sure to be home the date it was scheduled to arrive, however it never showed up. I called UPS and was advised that their system showed that I had called and requested they hold the product for pickup. That is false, as I had no interest in lifting a 150 lb generator into my trunk. They advised me there was a 99% chance they could have it delivered the next day. It didn't arrive the next day, or the following day. The third day after it was supposed to arrive UPS "attempted" delivery and left a note, however the person in the house waiting didn't hear any knocking or the doorbell ring. Finally, four days after the initial delivery date, the generator arrived. This is my first generator and I was able to set it up in about 90 minutes. The instructions leave a little to be desired. I was able to figure it out but there was some trial and error and frustration involved. The handle makes the generator very easy to move and tuck away. The next day I ran it for the five hour break in period. It started immediately with the electric starter. This generator is only marginally quieter than normal portable generators when in eco mode. If you were to sit next to it for an extended period while it was under a high load you would probably risk damaging your hearing. We have a 1/2 horsepower well pump, a radon mitigation system (with pump), and a basement ejection pump. This generator was able to run them all simultaneously (plus lights, fridge, and power tool battery chargers) without any issues. Just make sure if you're putting it under high load you do not have it in eco mode. After the break in I changed the oil. The old oil had some metallic swirls in it, so you definitely want to follow the manufacturer recommendations on that. Final thoughts: This is a well constructed and affordable inverter generator. It has enough power to run numerous pumps and devices while delivering clean power with little distortion. The eco mode feature will save fuel and make it slightly quieter when less power is needed. It is not quiet though, and if your neighbors are nearby you probably won't want to run this overnight. It would have also been nice if it had an integrated battery tender. I purchased one for $25 for peace of mind. Given that the only comparable generator to this unit is a Honda 7000 watt inverter that goes for $4,500+, I feel comfortable giving this 5 stars.

This generator is replacing a Briggs & Stratton EXL8000 (8000 running watts, 10,000 starting watts). I connect to my home with an older Connecticut Electric 10 circuit manual transfer switch. I am not running the entire house, but I do power my gas furnace, gas hot water heater, well pump, 2 refrigerators, a freezer, microwave, and a light circuit and a wall plug in every room of the house. The washer, dryer, dishwasher, range and central air compressor are not powered. The Champion 8750 powered everything without a problem, with eco mode turned off. I have not tried it with eco mode on at this point. My old generator did not provide clean power, and it seemed to struggle to start the well pump (I have a very deep well, about 400 feet). I don't know if it is because of the clean power or what, but the Champion really did a good job powering the pump. Didn't seem to bog down as much or for as long as the old B&S did. As far as noise, it is not as quiet as a Honda EU7000i, but compared to the B&S it is replacing, the old generator was at least twice as loud. I can hardly hear the Champion from inside my house, even with with eco mode turned off. Considering that the Champion has a larger engine (420 cc vs 369 cc), produces 27% more running watts, and costs 1/4 of the price of the Honda, I think it is quite good for what you get. I would have rated the noise level five stars if it was just a little quieter on eco mode. But all in all, if you keep your expectations realistic, this is a decent generator noise-wise. Unboxing and assembly took a total of 15 minutes, once I had all the tools gathered in one place. It is super easy to put together. Moving and locating the generator is very easy and it is very light for the power it puts out. The instructions are pretty well written, but there are the occasional sentences that you could tell didn't quite translate correctly from another language (Chinese I am guessing). The clean power is definitely not a gimmick, and the difference is quite noticeable. The voltage reading is the same whether on eco mode or not, and my appliances no longer make weird humming noises like they did on the B&S generator. My LED lights do not flicker, and everything just works as if on grid power. All in all, I am very happy with this purchase, although I only have a couple of hours use on the unit at present. I will update my review after the next power outage, which seems to happen pretty frequently here.

I have had this generator for a few years and really only used it during power failures. Have powered it on at other times just to warm it up, changed the oil regularly and tried to keep it in good condition. It does not have many hours on it. The battery died within a few months and would not take a charge, but the unit would start manually. During a recent power failure, the unit ran for about an hour, then just shut down and would not start. I tried their standard troubleshooting ideas as published on their site: low oil shutoff, new spark plug, try to start it with starting fluid, etc. The unit has no spark. The online technical support never answered the multiple email requests I put in. The phone support, when you can actually reach them, reads off a series of questions that are published on the web site, but can't diagnose anything beyond that. My conversation ended when the agent tried to sell me a spark plug, which I had already tried. While I didn't believe it was bad, I ordered an ignition coil for the unit. The coil is very different than typical for magneto type engines. It has no armature that passes through the coil that would pickup the magnetic field from the flywheel. Videos on the Champion site showing replacement of the coil show the standard type coil and adjustment procedures, NOT the coil I received since this particular model apparently uses a different method to excite the coil. But there is no additional information I can find regarding this new style. The schematic from the user's manual doesn't show any logic, just wires going into terminal blocks. I have a backup Generac generator that is about 35 years old. After not using it for several years, it started on the second pull and got me though the power outage. The new Champion generator worked well for a time when it was new, but total lack of support from that company has convinced me never to go to that brand again. Not quality made, and basically an expensive boat anchor.

I like all of the features of this generator. It starts very easily with an electric start and works fine. The voltage output is good; 123 and 245 volts respectively on the outlets. The frequency is accurate; exactly 60 Hz. I have tested the generator by connecting it to my 10 circuit transfer switch, and everything works fine. Mostly everything in my house is connected, except the central air conditioner and the electric clothes dryer. Even though the air conditioner is not connected, I can run the heater in the wintertime since I have connected it to the furnace blower fan and I won't be freezing to death. (I live in Texas, and we had a terrible 1000 year winter storm, ice, and snow this February. Many people died due to freezing weather) I can also run the furnace fan feature in summer for the movement of air. Since I have several 20 amp circuits connected, I can also run my portable air conditioner and heater. I am so happy since my microwave is working with this generator. Even though the microwave says 1200 watts, it takes 1850 surge watts to start working and so my previous 1800 running watts generator never could make the microwave work. Now I am so happy. I am also happy with the way you designed the oil change feature; it is very easy! I could not find any negative things to say. Caution: the exhaust is very hot and can cause brush fire. I tested it for 1 hour running in the backyard grass and the grass almost got burned. Cover the ground with non-combustible things like concrete blocks or tiles. This generator was purchased from Amazon.com and was delivered 16 hours after placing the order. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083V8VNGL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
