Champion Power Equipment 2500-Watt Ultralight Portable Inverter Generator with Quiet Technology

This is our third year of having a Keystone travel trailer parked on our lot where we're building our home. We're doing things the hard way by milling our own lumber, doing all our own earthwork, etc., so there's lots of time spent there. For years we just traveled from our house 1.5 miles away, but the trailer really allows us to eat there and have facilities. But with our solar setup, the 120v things in the trailer don't work like phone chargers, the microwave and, most importantly, the air conditioning. While we don't have lots of days where A/C is needed, we're excited to be able to enjoy that without being able to hear the generator outside over the A/C on the inside. The first time I used this was when I needed to do some work-from-home work while my husband was working on a project outside but needed me occasionally. Nice, constant power. Very fuel efficient. Easily did 6 to 7 hours with a gallon of gasoline. Edit to add: We are doing construction work up on this woodlot and have "relied" for years on a BIG Generac (the biggest portable Generac Amazon sells). It's constantly breaking and having electronics fail. Right now one of the rectifiers is shot so it's not charging the battery. That thing is big and heavy and so we run extension cords for it for our saw. We grabbed our new little Champion and what a difference. All we're running is a 12" DeWalt chop saw. It doesn't take any longer for the saw to get up to speed on this little generator. We can easily talk over it. It's super easy to shut down between cutting times. Our fuel economy difference between this one and letting the big Generac run all day will pay for this generator before the summer is out! And we still get to use it to run the AC in our camper!

I was at the race track (dry camping). I had an issue with my solar charging system and it would not maintain a charge overnight. Luckily I had a friendly neighbor who shared & connected me to his Champion 3100 Generator. It worked great running his AC and powering my Class B - that's why I chose Champion. After seeing his 3100, I felt a 2500/1850 would suit my needs and thus I chose this model. This unit has a small [dare I say "tiny"] footprint & is lightweight (it's hard to believe it's a 2500/1850). Most importantly, it's very quiet (even under a load) - it sounds like a white noise machine (it won't disturb you OR your neighbors). I haven't yet run it out of gas, so I cannot attend to the run time. I bought a quart of Royal Purple Break-in Oil {for the initial 5-hour break-in period) and I also bought a magnetic dipstick that I leave in full-time (to remove potential residual metal shavings inside the engine during break-in & as a safety measure after break-in). My only slight negative: the pull-start recoil is initially a bit finicky. The instructions say to pull it a couple of times until you feel resistance. What it doesn't say - once you feel resistance you cannot release any slack - you must immediately pull it hard to start. After a couple of tries, I realized what I was doing wrong and it started-up immediately. Overall, I'm extremely happy. IF my opinion changes, I'll come back and update my review.

This is my second purchase of this generator. The first one drowned in Hurricane Ian but in the brief time that I owned it I was really impressed with the unit so I bought another one. Lightweight is important to me because I move it around on my boat from the storage position to the operating position. An important feature is the serviceability of this generator. I like the clamshell design for the covers on both sides. Many small generators are difficult to service, not this one. Another small factor in its favor is the fact that you can buy a cover for it for half the price of a Honda cover. The only thing that I would like to see in a future model is a 30 amp plug. Either that or an adapter which securely fits into the existing twp 15 amp sockets. UPDATE****So after about two months and thirty hours runtime, the generator began hunting and tripping out when load was increased. Champion tech service did offer to replace the carburetor but said it was backordered until November. Not wanting to wait that long, I removed all of the plastic necessary to remove the carb and cleaned it. Once reassembled, I ran the genset under load using a double dose of Seafoam per the Champion tech's recommendation. Voila! It runs perfect now. I have a couple of suggestions for Champion and/or any owner of this generator: *install an in-line fuel filter. It takes a 3/16 filter and you can buy 10 of them for $7.00 here. This is a much better solution than the fill screen supplied with the unit. You will also need about 6 inches of 3/16 fuel line since the original line is too short to simply cut and insert the filter (it will kink the line if you do this (don't ask). Champion if your listening, do this and you will dramatically reduce service calls and maybe not have to send out so many new parts under warranty. *Champion should include a listing of YouTubes regarding dismantling and troubleshooting. This will also save calls. *Champion customer service needs to have a call back option. Most people don't have an hour or more to wait for them to answer. Other than the above, this is still a best buy and at least they try to service their customers.
