Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2024
Ran new generator for a total of 8hours to break in and ran great! Already have a 30 amp plug installed. Will eventually get a 50 amp placed. Generator is easy to move around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powers my entire house, including the HVAC
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024
This is the kind of purchase you hope you won't need, but when you do, it does bring peace of mind.
My electrician set up my main panel to allow me to power my whole house in case of outages. I had my plumber run a natural gas line that works with this generator. The same day that the plumbers finished their work, we lost power in my neighborhood and Entergy stated that it would be back in a ~6 hour timeframe.
I hadn't run this generator at all at this point, but I felt that this was a good opportunity to test it out. After adding the oil and connecting the battery, I hooked it up to my panel and the natural gas. It started up and ran fine the first time. I shut off the main and enabled the 50amp breaker in my panel and the whole house came back to life. We've been having some sweltering weather, but the generator handled my HVAC compressor kicking on just fine.
Very happy that I have this generator.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice generator but had damage when unboxed

The media could not be loaded.
Nice to have one that can run my whole house on Natural Gas without refueling or using fuel stabilizer. When I ran it for the 5 hour breakin period I ran everything including the oven and central air. I do not have an electric dryer but i would bet you it would handle it. I only used 2/3 of the power of the generator for my whole house. The pictures show what parts were broke when it came. I called Champion, they sent out the plastic flywheel shroud and I was able to replace it. I would recommend also buying a trickle charger, dust cover and plumb it so you can run it on natural gas.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a life-saver during Hurricane Beryl deadly Texas heat power outages
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024
This generator is a total beast. I'm soooo glad I purchased this before hurricane Beryl destroyed our power grid in Houston. I was able to power up my entire house using natural gas including AC unit (with a soft start kit) and for days without power and this thing truly lives upto it's name Champion. Make sure you do the 5 hour break-in period and change your first oil and you're all set for your outage. Yes it's expensive, but worth every penny when you are protecting your family from scorching heat or freezing cold in winter. I felt great knowing I have 3 fueling options because during a disaster, any one of these fuels can have a shortages so having tri-fuel options are a life saver. I can't praise this generator enough. Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars She ran foe 90 hours after Hurricane Beryl!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023
She ran my whole house for seven days after losing power during Hurricane Beryl. Neighbor’s had no AC. 70 degrees in my house. 3.5 ton AC with a soft start. Gas dryer, heater. Electric washing machine, fridge, dish washer. This generator ran everything with no issues. All while hooked up to my natural gas supply. I ran a line off of my natural gas meter to the generator. This is a great backup power supply for half to a third of the price of a standby whole hose generator.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great generator

Big strong generator. Saved us through Hurricane Beryl by keeping our lights and fridge on. Would be nice to have bigger gas tank since finding fuel during an emergency is very challenging going.
