Description

The Champion Power Equipment 4250-Watt Open Frame Inverter Generator is one of the most innovative products on the market. We cut the noise level in half by integrating Quiet Technology digital components used in more advanced inverters, and then we created an efficient mechanical design to decrease the overall footprint and weight by up to 20 percent. A quiet, lightweight addition to your RV and a cost-effective power solution, this Open Frame Inverter generator is smaller, quieter, lighterBETTER! Operate your Dual-Fuel generator on gasoline or propane, and easily switch fuels with a quick turn of the fuel selector dial. Using gasoline, the 224cc Champion engine produces 4250 starting watts and 3500 running watts, and will run for 22 hours at 25% load when the 4.0-gallon fuel tank is full. It produces 3825 starting watts and 3150 running watts, and will run for 14 hours at 25% load when using a 20-pound propane tank. This inverter has a 0.6-quart oil capacity and a low oil shut-off sensor, and operates at 64 dBA from 23 feet, which is a bit louder than normal speech. Confidently connect your sensitive electronics since our Open Frame Inverter produces only Clean Power (less than 3% THD).

  • Very high quality - Happy Camper
Style: 4250-Watt + Dual Fuel
I bought this for a variety of reasons: - Dual fuel and the ability to run Propane. This generator will be used very rarely, perhaps every two or three years whenever local power goes down. It MUST start when needed. Propane, unlike gasoline, does not deteriorate during long term storage. Therefore I plan to run it with a couple of 100 lb propane tanks. - High ratings. - The Champion website seems well organized. - Complete and well organized user manual, parts list, and wiring diagram. - Competitive, innovative technology and fully featured product range. They offer dual fuel on their smallest generators. - Very reasonable price. - Light enough that I can lift it, should the need arise. - Lots of youtube vids. Comments: - I bought their wheel kit, it installed in about 10 minutes. - At first I was unable to start the generator. A shot of starter fluid got it going for about 5 seconds, then it stalled. I thought it was a spark problem. I called Champion service and got a knowledgeable person on the line in less than 2 minutes. I asked if the low oil shutoff could be stuck. They said it's very rare for that to be a problem. The solution was to pre-load the recoil starter. That's when you pull the cord until you get resistance (about half way), then release the cord, then do a full pull. I did that and it started instantaneously. - The fuel gauge was stuck on empty. Champion service is sending a free replacement. They said it's very easy to replace. - The overall impression is high quality, nothing feels cheap. I was a little skeptical about the EZ start dial, which is a combined gas/propane fuel valve and ignition switch. However, it feels robust and operates with a positive action. It's wonderful to be able to switch from gas to propane with just the flick of the wrist. The propane hose and fittings are top quality, and even include a snazzy removable bracket to hang it on the generator. - Noise is on par with other small generators. But the relatively large 224 cc engine doesn't sound buzzy, more of a subdued rumble. Conclusion: Yes, I recommend this generator. ... show more

  • Handles the camper AC easily Handles the camper AC easily
Style: 4250-Watt + Dual Fuel
The big pro’s for me were it’s 79 lbs with no gas in it. For me, I can lift it in and out of the truck. The fully enclosed model was 100 lbs so I decided to go with the lighter model and sacrifice the added noise. For myself I feel the noise level is better than I expected for an open frame inverter. A lot quieter than my old generators but it’s also 20 years newer technology. It runs my 32 foot travel trailer AC with ease on propane. I also bought Champions wheel kit and fully installed it just to realize it wasn’t worth keeping and I removed it and returned it for a refund. The handle on the wheel kit was stupid and would not fold down close to the inverter. The handle was short so you had to bend over when pulling. Therefore it would take up more valuable space in the back of my truck when camping. The wheels were only on a 1.5 inch pin that went through a bracket on the frame that was held on with a small clevis pin. So to me, this is too weak of a design and I saw other reviews saying the wheel mounting broke and the tires even show a little bit of camber (tilt) from the weak mount design. VERY disappointed with the wheel kit. Seemed like a very poorly engineered design add on wheel kit. I have a fold up dolly that I will use to wheel it around as shown in the pic. But I give 5 stars on the inverter so far. ... show more

  • Incredible value Incredible value
Style: 4250-Watt + Dual Fuel
This is the Best value for small inverter propane generator available. I purchased this generator on sale last Oct for $399. It comes with a dual stage propane regulator, hose and demand regulator, this included part alone is $150 if purchased separately. An important thing to note is that this will not power 240v appliances like septic and well pumps, elect water heaters etc. It will power just about all your homes 120v needs, Within reason you may need to shut off something to run another temporarily. Champion engines are almost as good as Honda I have a friend that worked for Costco doing QC testing and told me to only buy champion, or Honda if I could afford Honda. This is an inverter generator so will produce demand power by changing the engine rpms, this saves a ton of fuel while also creating much cleaner sine wave power for sensitive electronics (I have had electronics not work on non inverter generators) For my purposes I took the gas tank off completely and made a piece of plywood with a hole so my propane tank would fit tightly on top. I also got an off brand wheel kit. Propane burns A LOT cleaner than gasoline, and will not gel, varnish and clog the carb like gas. Usually a small engines problem is due to carb or gas and get tossed because it’s too much trouble to install a new carb. This is why I got rid of gas all together. A bbq tank holds 4.5 gallons of propane and will run for 2x the time as the tank, propane never goes bad, and is consistently good unlike quality issues of ethanol gas, and short shelf lifespan of gasoline. I changed the oil at 5 hours like the manual stated and this generator runs quietly like a top. The only difficult thing to note is that there is not a primer button on the propane demand regulator so it takes about 5-10 starter pulls to draw vacuum and propane into the combustion chamber. It’s small enough for one person to use and move! If you’re on a budget this is the one! ... show more

  • Basic generation
Style: 4250-Watt + Dual Fuel
Enough @#$%^&* power failures around here. Had to finally get a generator. I do understand that since I spent this money there will never be a power outrage ever again. This generator is affordable, compared to most others, and has sufficient power to run what you normally need. It features "quiet technology" and it is quiet compared to a race car. It really has what seems to be a typical portable gas engine "muffler" that I think actually amplifies sound. I may try mounting a motorcycle muffler as bikes are far quieter. I am using propane only. Noise means that it cannot be used next to the house and long extension cords are needed. Taking it to a campground would be a totally disrespectful jerk move. This is a very basic design in other respects as well, featuring the dreaded recoil starter, a choke and the optional wheel kit is needed to make it mobile for most people. The controls are good, the construction quality great and it can actually be started, though that is a multi-step process that requires several steps and some touch. This is an affordable emergency device for a house with a reasonable electrical load. If one wants quietude getting spendy is the only answer, either with a more sophisticated unit, Powerwalls or other battery backups. I am disappointed in the noise, but otherwise think it is a good purchase for many people. ... show more

I highly recommend this generator. I mostly wanted this for running propane when gas was hard to come by after Hurricane Helene and Milton. Very pleased with the performance and cost.

  • Champion, 200914 4250-Watt Open Frame Inverter Generator, Dual Fuel
Style: 4250-Watt + Dual Fuel
I bought this for the purpose of power outages. I based the purchase on 1. the dual fuel aspect and 2. the reviews for Champion where by and large good. I did not want to pay a premium for a Honda and then add a propane conversion kit. I chose an inverter generator to be kind to things with chips in them. Almost everything has chips in them, from refrigerators to TVs. A regular generators output has the potential of being to dirty. Also, the idea of being able to have propane on hand for an indefinite period of time and not go stale was appealing. Note that using propane the running wattage is 3150 vs 3500 for gasoline on this inverter generator. I followed the instructions upon unpacking the inverter generator and filled it with the supplied oil. The next step was to give it the recommended 5hr break-in. The set up was on my back patio . Hooking it up to propane was a breeze. This model is a pull start. On my first attempt starting it I did not tension the pull cord first (as instructed) and thought something was wrong. Checking the manual and found the user error, tensioned the cord and it started right away. Be sure to set up in an area where exhaust gas will not build up i.e. near windows, doors or to near people etc. The load I used was my home refrigerator-720 watts (running wattage), a 1/4hp fan about 400 watts, and a hair drier upward to 1200 watts. I used the hair drier to alter the output as recommended in the manual to help seat the piston rings. Shutting it off was as easy as shutting off the propane supply. After the break-in I let it cool enough to change the oil, I used 10W-30. Cons: 1. There is a red LCD readout that is difficult to read in bright sunlight. 2. Does not come with a wheel kit. At the time of my purchase I didn't find one available so I used a moving dolly to get it around. 3. Do not know if this counts as a con. It has a 30A RV plug instead of three prong twist lock plug. I bought an RV plug made by Conntek on Amazon it gave me two more outlets. Conntek makes other plugs that will work too. 4. Though on the quiet side for a generator it is still noisy. I plan on making a shed with good venting, fan assist air movement and rockwool sound dampening. Please note that although I list these as "Cons" they would not have changed my mind in the least and may be common with other generators, just the nature of the beast. Pros: 1. Being able to use propane is a plus. Although the generator gives a lower output I don't have to worry about storing gasoline, going stale or whether it has to much ethanol for my use. Propane can be stored laterally for years. Also, the exhaust does not have an overwhelming obnoxious odor as it does with gasoline. Just a few ending notes. It is worth mentioning again about exhaust, placement is everything. Do not skimp on extension cords. Look at the wire gauge my guess is that my refrigerator at 720 watts (running) might pull 2160 when a compressor kicks on. I wouldn't run a 16 or 14 gauge extension cord for it. Think of it as if it where a water pipe. The higher number (gauge) of the wire, smaller the pipe. This is more restrictive to all of those electrons trying to move through the wire. The lower number (gauge) like 12 or 10, larger the pipe, easier flow, less restriction. If power cycles on what you plug in then account for it and have a cord that can handle it. Also, pay attention to the available Amps and what you are plugging in. I hope to update this in a year or so. A review on a brand new purchase doesn't really do justice. ... show more

  • It will push out electrons...
Style: 4250-Watt + Dual Fuel
First, let me say I have both the 2500w dual fuel inverter, and this 4250 dual fuel. I am extremely happy with the 2500w dual fuel, but it won't run my 15.5k BTU a/c on the travel trailer (even with a soft start). So I purchased this 4250 dual fuel because I only use propane in them, I am not a fan of the gas smell. The "low noise" part of this is a gigantic lie as it is incredibly loud for an inverter generator. There are plenty of YT videos showing sound dB, so I won't get into that. I placed this in the back of my '23 Tundra and it unscrewed the latches off of my hard tonneau cover from the vibrations. I could also feel (quite a bit) the vibration inside the trailer while this is running in my truck bed. Next was the random shutoff- plenty of propane, no load changes, but somehow it kept thinking it was out of oil. When trying to start it, you can see the oil light flash (through the sweat dripping because it was hot and pull-starting anything multiple times in the blistering heat is no fun). After I figured it out, I added a bit of oil (even though the dipstick said full) and it started right up. It ran for the 5 hrs I had it on, then I turned it off. The next day I tried to start it again and it said low oil again... I put two blocks up so it was on about a 5-10% grade and it ran fine every time after that for the rest of the 30 day trip for me. Amazon told me they couldn't return this when I called in a week after I purchased it, but some reviews say they returned it. I would try it out quickly and see if you can return it if needed. Again, I am super happy with the 2500w dual fuel, and although this unit does put out electrons, it's nowhere near the quality of the other champion product I have. ... show more

  • DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM CHAMPION!!!
Style: 4250-Watt + Dual Fuel
Bought this 4250 dual fuel inverter in September. Brought it to my camper and ran fine for 1 night. Mind you im running a table top fan and the fan function only on the ac unit. Next night it ran fine for 2 hours then died, next night ran for 15 minutes then died, next night ran for 4 hours and died. Called Champion and they told me it needs a grounding plug which I already knew was not true. Tried it and ran for 10 minutes and died. Called the next day and got a gentleman named Paul which gave me a run around again for the second day in a row. Im in Northern VT about 25 min from Canada and they were going to send me to southern NH for it to be “repaired” which they didn’t know if they had the part or not. So you’re going to waste my time AGAIN and waste my gas just to tell me BS . DO NOT BUY FROM CHAMPION. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS AND THERE PRODUCTS ARE AFUL!!! Spend the money and get a Generac! ... show more
