    Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

    The generator was received in good condition with fast delivery. The unit started on the second pull, however the idle seemed slow. When hooked to the trailer it would not run the converter and the micro wave together. Contacted Champion and was connected with problem solver / technician Paul.He took me completely through the generator, one section at a time, checking and confirming that there was not a problem. We concluded the problem to be slow rpms. He advised me as to how to correct the problem and set the unit at the right rpm. Paul did a great job and has a good knowledge of his product.. Great little generator.

    Though we don’t have this exact model of generator, we picked up a very similar unit (only difference is a combo hour/volt/hertz display) from a friend a few months ago to take with “dry” camping in our trailer. In the limited time we’ve actually needed to run the generator, two issues have become apparent: weight and noise. Though the generator puts out ample power for our camping needs (including our trailer’s A/C unit), it does so with a noise loud enough to get you kicked out of the park if run at night. Even during the day we decided to run the generator in the enclosed bed of the truck to try and muffle the sound somewhat. Then there’s the weight; there’s a definite reason that there’s a wheel kit for this thing.. This is probably an unfair comparison as even the latest ultra-light Honda of similar capacity weighs 78 pounds, but something to keep in mind if you are looking to take this thing in and out of your vehicle (it’s definitely a two person job).

    Otherwise, this unit has always started on the first or second pull and has provided all the power we’ve needed. Just make sure to watch the oil level on the initial fill: our unit came with almost a full reservoir (made a bit of a mess on the garage floor with that one…).
