🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

This Champion generator has received mostly positive feedback from customers, appreciated for its robust power, convenience of remote control start, and quiet operation. However, there are a few design and functionality aspects that have been pointed out, including its heavy weight, fuel consumption and in one case, inability to power multiple devices simultaneously.

Pros

  • 🔋 Strong power generation capacity, capable of running the AC and microwave simultaneously
  • 🔌 Easy and convenient remote control start, eliminating need for cord pulls
  • 🔇 Quiet operation compared to other generators
  • 🎛 Useful design aspects like a change oil tube, padded/rubber feet, and good gas tank capacity

Cons

  • 🏋 Heavy weight that makes moving it around somewhat difficult, particularly into higher spaces
  • ⛽ Higher than expected fuel consumption rate
  • 💼 Some room for improvement in design -- suggestions include anchor points for stability, Bluetooth connectivity, CO2 alarm, and more
  • 🔥 In one report, the unit was unable to simultaneously power an AC and a microwave
  • ⏲ Some users find the remote control easily triggered and slightly dangerous, suggesting the need for a "long press" or two-button design

Should I Buy It?

If you require substantial power, value convenience and ease of use, and are okay with the potential for higher fuel consumption, this could be a good buy. However, understand its weight and potential limitations based on user insights, before purchasing.

Style: 4500-Watt + Dual Fuel + EZ Electric Start
Unboxing and Setup: This was very straightforward. The included instructions are very easy to follow. Read the instructions before trying to operate this unit. It came with a tool kit including a funnel that is perfect for filling the oil. The weight of the is pretty hefty at 103 lbs so lifting it up to tailgate height by yourself might be a challenge or cause injury if done awkwardly. Two-person lift if highly suggested. Running: The unit is fairly quiet for a 4500-watt genny. Once I fired it up, I verified that it would run my camper's AC and other systems and it performed flawlessly. Running the AC on a warm day with my 15K BTU air conditioner was only using about 20% capacity which truly surprised me. I put it through its paces and turned on every light in the camper and tried the microwave. No issues here either. This genny was running at only 80% load with everything turned on. The only thing I didn't turn on was the electric part of the water heater which may have pushed it over the limit, but I'm not too worried about this as I usually run it on propane and would never be running everything in the camper at the same time on generator power. First Run: After going through all of the steps, removing the shipping nuts, and adding the included break-in oil, I hooked it up to propane and it fired up instantly. FYI. It would not start with the knob turned to "choke" but fired up instantly when in the run position. I'm not sure that propane would ever need to be choked to start. I also purchased a magnetic dipstick and installed this prior to starting it for the first time. See "Break-In" below. Break-in Procedure: Get a few quarts of regular cheap motor oil either 5w-30 or 10w-30 AND one quart of high-quality fully synthetic oil. (I prefer 5w-30 as it can get quite cold where I live. 5W-30 flows better when cold but offers the same high temp protection as 10w-30. I installed a magnetic dipstick before starting it for the first time. I ran the engine in eco mode with no load for about 20 minutes and then bumped it up to full speed for another 10 minutes with no load and then drained the oil. It was pretty glittery when shining a flashlight into it. The magnetic dipstick was covered in fine metal shavings/dust. This is normal for a new engine! Don't panic. This is why a proper break-in procedure is important folks. Drain and refill with regular cheap oil (1/2 qt) and repeat this procedure but now add varying loads and RPMs on the generator. NOTE: One thing I like to do on each oil dump, is to pour a little new oil in after the oil has drained with the drain plug/hose still open. This will help to "rinse" out more particulate before closing the drain and adding oil. You'll see less particulate in the oil and on the magnetic dipstick (if you purchased one) every time. Repeat this procedure adding time and varying loads in between changes/flushes until you see clean oil coming out with little to no glitter in the oil. (This took me about 6.5 hours of run time with several oil changes.) Now that you are satisfied with the oil coming out, add your fully synthetic high-quality oil and run it for a few minutes before putting it away. Make sure to put a label on it showing how many hours are on the unit and/or when the next change is due so you know when to change the oil. The manual suggests 100 hours under normal use and 50 under heavy use. Personally, I would change this at no more than 50 hours no matter what. It's super easy to change the oil and it only holds 500ml or 1/2 of a quart. Floating Ground: Like many generators, this one has a floating ground. If you plan on using this in an RV with an EMS (Electrical Management System), you'll likely need a ground/neutral bonding plug. If you don't use one of these, you'll likely get an error and you'll either have to bypass your EMS or you won't have power. Ground: Make sure that you always ground your generator! You should have a copper grounding rod at a minimum of 4 feet in length driven into the ground or an acceptable connected ground source using 12 gauge wire. Propane: Theoretically propane has an infinite shelf life assuming the tank doesn't rust through completely unlike gasoline with ethanol. This is one of the primary reasons I purchased a dual fuel generator. The last thing I want is to "need" the generator and it won't run because gasoline went bad and ruined the fuel system. The generator starts up instantly in the run position every time with propane and has a longer run time than gasoline. Gasoline: I have not put gasoline in it yet as I don't plan on using gasoline. Today's gasoline doesn't have a very long shelf life now that the corn lobbyists and the government have forced 10% ethanol in most gasoline. We have to be careful how long we store it. Ethanol-blended gas only has a shelf life of up to three months because of the high speed at which ethanol oxidizes. Because ethanol is hydrophilic (a.k.a., water-loving), it will also readily absorb any water or humidity in a sealed container resulting from condensation, causing both moisture contamination of the fuel and the eventual separation of the fuel into distinct gas and ethanol layers. This will ruin a fuel system in short order and will also cause your fuel lines to rot. Varnish in your fuel system is a nightmare too and often requires the replacement of the carburetor and/or fuel lines. Never Again: I'll never go on another trip again without it. Last summer on the hottest day of the year (128F heat index), I was pulling my 5th wheel camper with my family and three dogs through the Mark Twain National Forest on the way to our destination. If you're familiar with the area, you'd know that there is zero cell coverage for any carrier, so breaking down is a bad thing. Well, as my luck would have it, my truck decided to break down on a narrow 2 lane twisty highway with tons of blind curves and hills. We were dead in the water with no help in sight or the ability to call anyone. The temperature started to rise immediately in my black truck. The actual temperature was 105 degrees, but the high humidity that day put the heat index at 128F which became unbearable in a short time. I was under a great deal of stress, and on top of that, laying on top of a hot engine in a black truck trying to get it running in those kinds of temperatures was extremely dangerous. I was on the verge of a heat stroke with no relief in sight. I was in bad shape. While I already had a small 2000 Watt portable inverter generator, it was not sufficient to power the AC unit on my rig as I didn't think of it as a priority and didn't think I would really "need" AC. I was wrong!. I'll never take a trip anywhere in my rig again without this 4500 Watt dual fuel unit which is capable of running my AC units. ... show more

    • Wow! Simply WOW!
Style: 4500-Watt + Dual Fuel + EZ Electric Start
Update 7/22/23. Having had 2 years to use this I can say no southern home should be without 1. I've used it exclusively on propane, using to power a 30cuft fridge in the kitchen as well as a 28cuft in the garage along with a huge upright freezer & maybe a fan or 2 & it's run for HOURS without fail, if I had to guess I'd say during Irma, it ran on 1 tank for 16 hours & I didn't get through the 2nd tank before the power came back on. Simply incredible. I also have a Yamaha inverter generator which is extremely quiet but not duel fuel & it needed to be refueled after maybe 6-8 hours of similar use. It starts up instantly & I'm considering buying another even though the 1 I have was several hundred $$ cheaper 2 years ago. If you're looking at this & wondering if you should get it, stop wondering & buy it. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. When I first moved to Florida 16 years ago I purchased a Yamaha inverter just in case so my food would spoil in the fridge & freezer. Didn't have to use it until a couple of years ago & it started right up but what I quickly found was that if the power was out because of a major storm for several days, getting gas was going to be a problem. It ran well, was reasonably quiet & used a tank of gas about every 14-18 hours. Fortunately my power came back on after about 30 hours. So, I cleaned it up & put it back in the garage. I came across this inverter by chance, seeing an ad for another brand while searching for something else. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a dual fuel inverter, not this small anyway. So, I did some research & this brand & model seemed to get the best reviews so I decided to give it a shot. It arrived well packaged in its original packaging & I prepared it for first use with a test using propane. Holy cow is it quiet! Significantly less quiet than even my Yamaha inverter which was the quietest when I bought it. It also handles a higher load than my Yamaha & actually cost $400 less even though it's 16 years later, handles over 1,000 watts more AND is dual fuel! Sure enough, about 10 days after I bought it I got to really put it to the test as a tropical storm came whistling through & the power went out late at night (unusual to lose power here for a tropical storm) so the first 1 that got started was this inverter using propane. It handled 2 29 cu. ft. refrigerators & a very large upright freezer without even stressing. Tried getting the Yamaha going to use for several fans but was having a problem getting gas out of these ridiculous new (& cheaply made) gas cans so I gave up since I didn't have enough hands at 2am to hold a funnel & 5 gallon gas can if I took the nozzle off. So I hooked a couple of fans up to this baby & it still kept going without a hitch. Power came back on around sunrise but after about 4 hours of use it only used about 1/4 of a 20lb. propane tank. Very impressive indeed. ... show more

    • My 2nd Champion Generator
Style: 4500-Watt + Dual Fuel + EZ Electric Start
I have an original 2011 Champion 2000w/1600w with many years of use and many hundreds of hours on it, and it's still going strong.... the quality I've experienced with that one is why I opted to stick with Champion when purchasing the new 4500w unit. A camp trailer rental is what prompted this purchase. I knew I would need more power to run the A/C and use all the amenities the trailer had to offer. Out of the box I added the included oil, hooked to propane and it fired right up. The instructions say to run for a 5 hour break in period and change the oil. I opted to run for 1hr, change the oil, and repeat 4 more times to keep clean oil in it throughout the break-in process. The first oil change had a ton of metallic flakes, it became less and less with each drain and fill. I finished up the break-in and filled with 5w30 full synthetic. The unit operates flawlessly. The electric start is awsome. The dual-fuel is also a nice feature. I will likely be running on gas 99% of the time but the option to switch fuel sources in an emergency is great. The unit is very quiet. To my ears it produces the same noise as my smaller unit. My smaller Champion is 80cc this one is 212cc. The only downside I've found with this unit is the location of the air intake. It is located on the bottom of the unit and pulls air right at the ground level. It is important to not place the unit on soft ground to avoid obstructing the intake or sucking dirt and debris into and through the unit. The air from the intake not only allows the engine to get air it needs to operate, but also cools the engine and electronics. These units along with most every other brand aside from Honda and Yamaha are mass produced in China... time will tell how long this unit holds up 🤞 but I am satisfied with this purchase so far! ... show more
