  • The Whispering Dynamo That Saved My Sanity!
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
Buckle up, folks, because I've got a tale to tell about the Champion Power Equipment 200961 2500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator. You know, that mouthful of a name that packs a punch like a heavyweight champ? Well, let me tell you, this ultralight powerhouse is like the ninja of generators – small, stealthy, and surprisingly strong. First off, let's talk about noise. Or rather, the lack thereof! This thing is so quiet; I half expected it to start whispering sweet nothings to me. Seriously, it's quieter than a church mouse doing yoga. You could run this generator in your backyard and your neighbor wouldn't even notice. Well, they might notice the lights on, but they won't hear a peep! Now, onto its magical ability to actually work. It's like this thing was born to power up my world. Whether I needed it for a camping trip, to keep the fridge from turning into a sauna during a power outage, or just for the sheer joy of firing up a mini power plant in my backyard (don't judge, it's oddly satisfying!), this Champion generator stepped up every single time. And it's dual fuel, so it'll happily run on gasoline or propane, making it as flexible as a contortionist at a circus. Oh, did I mention it's ultralight? This thing is lighter than a feather in a helium balloon factory. Carrying it around is easier than lugging a sack of marshmallows. I mean, who needs a gym membership when you can just tote this generator around for your daily exercise? But hey, it's not all rainbows and unicorns. I wish it had a built-in coffee maker and a massage function. Kidding! In all seriousness, this thing is a gem. In conclusion, if you want a generator that's quieter than a sleeping baby, works harder than a beaver building a dam, and is lighter than a featherweight champion, then the Champion Power Equipment 200961 is your knight in shining armor. Trust me, it's a game-changer. Just don't ask it to make you a latte. ... show more

  • Does the job, not very loud
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
I bought this to use during power failures. It doesn't provide a ton of power, but it's enough to run the refrigerator or other small appliances. This is perfect to help us get through emergencies. It's easy to start if you follow the directions. The weight is not too much to move it around with some effort. I really didn't want to huge one on wheels that would be hard to store. We love the dual fuel capability, though we run it on propane. Using propane means I don't have to worry about gasoline or any potential smells from that. ... show more

  • So Nice I Bought a Second
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
This model is my fourth and fifth generator purchase. The third was a gas model Champion similar (and the first a larger tri-fuel generator of a premium brand). I like all three Champions, but sold the gas only model to get this one. The second was a Westinghouse gas model of similar size to these which I returned because it was difficult to start and ran poorly. Dual fuel is a tremendous advantage if you don't keep gasoline in the generator. The maintenance and periodic test runs are greatly reduced. Unfortunately running on propane does produce less power, so that's the downside. Noise-wise, these are reasonable quiet, but not as quiet as the much more expensive premium brands (Honda/Yamaha). Also the noise level increases based on demand, so it can actually be quieter in higher demand situations to run two in parallel. That would also allow you the option to use less fuel during low demand situations by only running one smaller generator. Starting is relatively easy, and much better than a Westinghouse gas only model I bought and returned. Using propane you do need to set it on chock to start when cold. One downside is the propane hose connector seems to be proprietary in that it has a tab that sticks into the generator in addition to the gas connection. I've not tried other connectors, but I assume that tab is necessary for the generator to function. I bring that up because if you have an RV that has a propane outlet you'll need a proper hose because you cannot run these behind two regulators (the one on the RV and the one that comes with this device). ... show more
