Description

The Champion Power Equipment 201317 2500-Watt Portable Inverter Generator with CO Shield® is ideal for camping, tailgating, powering items around the RV or providing backup for a few basics. This unit is not recommended for emergency home backup. Weighing less than 40 pounds, this ultralight model is one of the lightest 2500-watt inverters in the industry. Thanks to Champion’s innovative design, power on the go has never been easier. Power up with the reliable recoil start, plus Cold Start Technology ensures a quick start in cold weather. Included are a 120V 15.4 A household duplex outlet (5-20R), plus a 12V automotive-style outlet, and Parallel outlets. This inverter operates at 53 dBA from 23 feet – about the same noise level as a dishwasher running in the next room. Using gasoline, the 80cc Champion engine produces 2500 starting watts and 1850 running watts. When the 1.1-gallon tank of gasoline is full, this inverter will run up to 11.5 hours at 25% load. Connect this Parallel Ready inverter with another Champion 2500-watt inverter for 30 amps of power. If you purchase the optional parallel kit (not included), you can integrate two inverters, plus the kit has a 120V 30A locking and 120V 50A RV outlet. Confidently connect your sensitive electronics since this inverter produces Clean Power (<3% THD). Designed for safety with a low oil shut-off sensor, this model has a 0.5-quart oil capacity. Champion’s Inverter Technology includes smart Economy Mode, which can reduce the electrical load, providing quieter operation, extended engine life and better fuel economy. Fully assembled with hassle-free setup, the built-in carrying handle makes transport a cinch. Buy this EPA certified generator with confidence – Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back up your purchase with a 3-year limited warranty and FREE lifetime technical support. CO Shield® technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield® detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO Shield® is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Meets the requirements of ANSI/PGMA G300-2018.

  • It does just what I wanted it for
This generator was purchased when hurricane Helene rolled through. It got delivered just a few hours before power got restored. I'm crediting this generator with that. LOL. Anyway... It hasn't been cranked since Helene, around 9 months ago, but I had done a "long term storage procedure" on it, which is supposed to be good for years. After fueling, it fired right up. 1st or 2nd pull. I used it to power a fridge, internet equipment, two laptops, a desktop PC, an iPad, some LED lights, and a fan. It ran most of the time at under 50%. I topped off the fuel right before bedtime, and it ran for 7.5 hrs before running out. I was able to get pretty much a whole night of sleep uninterrupted. It does just what I wanted it for... enough power for essentials, with the ability to use fuel efficiently in case of extended outages. ... show more

  • Great portable generator.
Great portable generator, easy to carry, easy to start, low noise. Exactly as described. I live in Florida and we have hurricanes. I have 2 generators, this one is because it will run for about 10 hours on a gallon of gas and is very quiet. It is also great for camping. Well made for a good price.

  • CO2 Sensor problems
Starts real easy, but the unit would not run more than 10 -15 min. then shut down. Checke Youtube and online sources and trouble shoot it to the CO Sensor. First service call was a waste of week and they sent the wrong part. no matter what I stated. Got the part in and still had the problem . The second Service call I got someone that knew about the generator and the problem and the part was shipped out and it now works great. Really quiet and is great for the Farmer's Market to power computer and laser ... show more

  • Really bad experience. I say don’t buy.
I had a terrible experience receiving this generator. It did not work consistently on the first occasion we had to use it. It turned on and varied in the amount of time we could use it - time from a few minutes to a time from a few minutes to a few hours - until it died. Then I called champions customer service and they sent me a video that was super complicated, and essentially required ticking apart the whole thing to try to get to a plug after I complained to their customer service they sent me to a local shop to repair it where I had to pay $60 upfront. And I’ve only had this thing for one week and it’s already inconvenience me so much! On top of that we cannot return the product. This is one of the most terrible experiences for such an expensive piece of equipment. ... show more

  • 100%
I recently purchased this Champion gas-powered generator and I’m beyond impressed. It started up on the first pull and runs smoothly without any issues. The power output is exactly what I needed — it easily handles my essentials during outages, including the fridge, lights, and small appliances. It’s well-built, sturdy, and surprisingly quiet for a gas generator. I also love that it’s fuel-efficient and has a clear, easy-to-read control panel. Whether you're using it for home backup or outdoor activities, this generator won’t let you down. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliability and strong performance. Champion truly lives up to its name! ... show more
