  • My thoughts.
Style: 8750-Watt + Gas + Electric Start Pattern Name: Inverter
After using my tried-and-true Generac 5500 watt/8500 watt surge generator for about 18 years, of which still chugs along without issue, and giving it's a "dumb" generator with a dirty electrical output that runs "dumb" items I figured it was time to upgrade to a new inverter giving all the sensitive electronics in houses these days. After much looking and pricing it was either Harbor Freight's new 7000 watt/ 9000 surge watt inverter for over $2k or Champion's 100520. I use this at a house and not an RV so I assumed the noise reduction may not be worth the additional $1000+ over the price of the Champion and went with this unit. I bought the Champion through Amazon and it was delivered to my garage in great shape without even a blemish on the box. I spent Saturday unpacking, assembling and getting ready for the break-in. My experience with generators/inverters is limited to the Generac mentioned above which has performed dutifully and without complaint for nearly 20 years, two 2000w inverters I can parallel to 30 amps and a 1050 amp hour battery backup system on my house. I needed a 240v outlet to run larger 240v "smart" appliances and devices and charge my batteries in a pinch, so enter the Champion. Here's my 2 cents if you wish to continue reading. 1. I'm not impressed with the plastic wheel kit and see this as a future fail point. I'll be doing an upgrade. They are a hard wheel made of plastic and just the weight of the unit causes them to bow out like a car out of alignment. The design with the wheels are also slightly wider than my Generac which is annoying since I had to make additional room in my storage space. I'm not sure what comparison is used by Champion for the percentages for "smaller" but it's roughly the same size as my Generac. It is also equally as heavy as my Generac so the "lighter" comment also seems to be subjective. It does maneuver fairly easily though and was simple to assemble. After assembly I placed ramps on my mobile work table of a standard height and heaved-ho it up to a less back-breaking working position. I liked the way it looked on the table and considered a permanent mount, removing the wheel kit and front prop but I changed my mind later, explained below. 2. All maintenance items are fairly easy to get to. Installing and changing oil was a breeze with the included funnel and hose. The instructions say 1.2 quarts but I found just a standard quart fills it nicely. I removed the plug and checked the gap - no issues - and slowly pulled the rope about 10 times getting some oil circulated while there wasn't any compression on the engine. This unit does have electric start but I'm not using it yet and I will admit, pulling the rope when the inverter in 3' in the air is not the most comfortable but I wasn't worried since I figured I would be using the electric start soon. I also squirted a bit of lube in the plug hole to lube the upper cylinder. 3. After looking it over pretty well it was time for gas. I have 5-gallon cans so with the inverter in the air this was difficult as even with sufficient strength and a funnel, gas is, well, 'splashy'. I figured I would just get a hand pump but reconsidered later. It's not just me who has to use this but my wife as well so I need to K.I.S.S. Anyway, about 2-2.5 gallons later it's time to crank the inverter. I'm still using the rope so I flip the button to run, open the gas valve and pull the choke. After three moderate pulls, it sputtered and popped a bit as it started up, I pushed in the choke and she leveled out and ran fine. I left it to run for a few hours, changed the oil with fresh and prepared to do some load testing. The break-in oil came out pretty clean. I rarely use the stop button when shutting down a generator and prefer to use the fuel valve allowing the carburetor to drain the bowl. This takes a minute or two but works fine. 4. I run my generators in my garage near the breaker box so part of my prep was to remove the spark arrestor and install an extension and hose to exhaust outside. While sitting there listening to the inverter run, it really hit me that it's loud. Eco is livable, I guess, but on full run, it's every bit as loud as my Generac. It is open frame, I realize that, but I was expecting it to be quieter since, after all, it's 20 years newer. Fortunately with my exhaust and ventilation system I can leave the inverter locked in the garage so no chance of theft but yeah, if you're wanting to be more incognito, this is not the inverter for you. 5. Load testing was next later that afternoon. My house is 3200 sq. ft. with two HVAC zones, the smallest being in the rear where the bedrooms are and the largest being in the front living area. I killed the breaker to the house and connected the 30 amp, 240 outlet and started testing. Bringing each circuit online one at a time, it ran my front HVAC fan motor, rear fan motor, rear AC, two upright freezers and the refrigerator without overloading. A little note here: turn your fans on manually and then start the AC as this will alleviate some of the start-up load. Do the same with a window unit. I was also able to power lights (all LED) and charge electronics but by this time I'm assuming I'm getting close to it's 30 amp limit. Here is the first real problem I have with the unit: the digital display only shows frequency (HZ), voltage (in this case 240) and hours. No amps or watts. Sigh. I have no idea what I'm drawing from the inverter. Anyway, I shut everything down and now I want to see if I can start my front AC unit which is significantly larger than the rear and can draw about 40 or so amps. I suspect it won’t but am curious if the surge will allow it to do it. I manually start the fan to reduce it's surge-start and then manually turn on the AC. Nope. Can't do it. Nice try though. I'm happy enough so I give the inverter a rest and power the house back up on utilities. This was a bit welcome as by now my ears are ringing from the nose of the generator. Yeah, going to need ear muffs when I'm working around it. Maybe the extra $1k on the enclosed inverter is worth it after all? Nah. I'll build a box. 6. Although the motor stays nice and cool, the exhaust side gets hot. Real hot. I learned the wheel kit is actually part of the airflow design as the air seems to come from under the muffler enclosure and blow down. Remember, I've removed the wheel kit earlier and now my table is super-hot. Fortunately it's a metal table. I reinstall the wheel kit and the inverter starts to breath better so if you get this inverter and plan to hard mount the unit, it must be raised up about 4" to allow air to flow underneath and help with cooling. This is going to make designing a hush box interesting. I removed it from the table to make it more accessible to fuel up and more maneuverable. I may build an elevated hush box later on when I get the gumption but I will only be about 12" to 18" off the ground. Anyway, to summarize, This seems to be a good inverter and I'm sure when we need it will be well worth the money. It runs well but is heavy and loud but other than that looks to be a keeper. Hopefully it's as reliable as my old workhorse Generac. P.S. I did eventually connect the battery and it works fine. I keep it stored with a trickle charge float maintainer so it's less likely to be dead when used. BTW, the battery is hard to access. The negative side is easy to get to but the positive is a booger and makes putting a maintainer on it difficult. I was hoping I could just back feed though the 12v port but nope. It doesn't work that way. ... show more

Style: 6250-Watt + Gas + Manual Start Pattern Name: Inverter
I’m very happy with this purchase. I do want to point out that you should examine your needs carefully before going this route. I bought this specific generator because I wanted one capable of a direct connection to my existing house electrical system through the 240V outlet on the generator plus the clean power advantages of an inverter. Also, I wanted it to be quiet, or at least quieter than the conventional generator we had. This Champion replaces an older, noisy, non-inverter generator that I no longer trust with the increasing amount of electronics in the house, including a new furnace. There are not many 240V affordable inverter generators like the Champion 6250. The only other inverter generator this big that I am aware of is the Honda EU7000iS; but it lists for over $5000 dollars and is way out of my price range. Bottom line; there is no such thing as a quiet, high power, low distortion, low cost generator, so you need to weigh your tradeoffs carefully. In particular, it is possible to buy two small inverter generators for roughly the same money and use a parallel kit to combine them into one source of power of about the same wattage. Those enclosed smaller units are quieter and lighter than the open frame unit, however, they will not produce 240V; only 120V. In my case, I could live without the 240V capability by not running the AC. But I wanted to use my existing wiring panel, interlock, inlet box, and L14-30 cable without modification. If you are willing to get an electrician to make some modifications, you may be able to pull off the multi-unit trick. (UPDATE: Its very unlikely you can do such a modification safely in a way that is legal. If you use do multiple small units, you need to run extension cords into your house. The multiple unit combination approach looks like its intended for RVs). 1. The Champion web site really helped me evaluate models and understand features. I need a model that has a floating neutral electrical system or can be modified to operate that way. I was able to easily find a clear description (with pictures) of the simple modification process needed for this specific generator in the customer service section of the Champion web site. (This information is surprisingly difficult to locate, or simply not available, at some other brands’ web sites that I checked). 2. Amazon quoted an eight day delivery time, but it actually came in four. The box packaging had lots of foam pads and cardboard panels to protect the innards. 3. Assembly was straightforward and can be done by one person. The unit is listed at 100+ pounds. but is nicely balanced; once it is out of the box, its easy to tip to get to the needed sides for access to remove the shipping brackets and install the wheels. Once assembled, be careful not to tip it up too far using the handle. After assembly, I tipped it too far (60 degrees or more) and it reached its tipping point and abruptly went vertical. The hinged handle is no help controlling the weight once it has reached that point. But you should never tip the generator this much since it will usually have gas in the tank and will spill! 4. There are some minor issues with the instructions but nothing too significant. Overall, these are the best generator instructions I’ve had. The one possibly important item is that the generator engine has a reusable foam air filter. The manual instructs that the filter should be oiled but it doesn’t mention this in the setup process. It is not mentioned in the Quick Start Guide either; only in the maintenance section. I didn’t catch that until doing the first oil change at 5 hours. (Subsequent oil changes after this break-in period are at 50 hours). So my generator ran its first 5 hours without being oiled which I don’t think is a big deal, but I wish I had caught that. 5. About the first oil fill; reading some other buyers comments had me worried about making a mess and I was way more careful than I usually am. The instruction’s precise reference to “37.2 ounces” of oil made me believe that it was necessary to get a fill of exactly 37.2 ounces. Now that I am writing this review, I see that the instructions actually say "add up to 37.2 fl. oz. (1.2 qt.) of oil ". "Up to" is not "exactly"! So don’t try to get this exactly right or you will make a mess! IMHO 36 oz. is fine. Put a quart it via the funnel. Then add no more that 4 more ounces guided by the little marks on the plastic oil jar. Allow time to let the oil drain out of the funnel and into the engine before removing the funnel hose; use paper towels and expect some drips. Check the oil level with the oil plug gauge. Not a big deal if you are prepared. (I found the drain and second oil fill to be more of a problem and will comment on that later). 6. The engine started on the second pull, which is fine, but I noticed that the red "overload" light was on and it stayed on for about a minute which seemed weird. Nothing was even plugged into the generator. I was in a bit of a panic and wondered if this was a normal first start condition or I should shut if off. I grabbed the manual and started looking at the instructions and the red light went out before I got to the relevant section. (Eventually, I realized that the green normal light had come on, but it is not as noticeable as the red light). I hope this doesn’t portend some problem that will surface later. This red light problem has not happened again since the first start and everything seems fine. During a recent outage, the generator started fine and ran for about six hours without any issues. 7. It would be nice to have some additional advice about when to use and not use the ECO mode which quiets the engine when the electrical load is small. Why wouldn’t I leave it on all the time? I can see how some people, accustomed to the constant sound of a traditional generator, might be bothered by the variation in the engine tone when it revs up and down. But I don’t have a feel for when and how often that will happen. It did happen while I was testing the generator when the refrigerator compressor kicked on but it worked ok. Can a large load stall the engine in ECO mode or is the disadvantage of ECO just the sound variation annoyance? I did not use the ECO mode during the recent outage and can’t comment on its characteristics during typical emergency use. 8. Be sure to read all the “NOTICE”s on pages 19 and 20 of the instructions; especially this one: “For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient temperature > 86°F (30°C), keep the choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, press choke to the “RUN” position for 3 more pulls of the recoil starter.” I’ve never heard of restarting a hot engine on a hot day with the choke on!! This used to be a big no-no. Maybe things have changed in the ten years since I last bought a small engine. I did indeed have some trouble restarting until I used the choke for exactly one pull. I don’t understand it, but be aware. 9. At the end of the break-in period I drained and changed the oil. Look at the picture on page 24 which shows something that looks like a rectangular cake pan as a drain pan. I used a regular round five quart car oil drain pan instead. I should have learned from the “choke” experience that these instructions should be taken literally! A low, small pan, just big enough for about 1.5 quarts would be better. The provided drain hose attached to the engine is a nice attempt to contain the drips, but I managed to get the hose itself submerged in oil using the regular size pan. The cap on the hose with its little tether chain is nice but, once submerged, is impossible to clean enough to prevent all dripping. . I thought I kept everything low enough to completely drain the engine but I only got about one quart out of the engine (vs. 1.2). I don’t know if this is because some oil burned off, the engine was drained while cold, or this is a normal amount. (Next time I will use a smaller pan and lift the generator a few inches to make sure I get all the old oil and see how much comes out with a warm engine) . Overall, I feel like I made a very good purchase. Be aware that the generator is different than conventional units so you may need to learn a few new tricks, like this old dog. Don’t leave it in the box until the next big storm; try it out and get some experience even if you are familiar with generators. ... show more
