About Champion Power Equipment 200988 4500-Watt Dual Fuel RV Ready Portable Inverter Generator
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
85% found it easy to transport, while 15% struggled
I find the generator a bit heavy for moving up and down stairs and into the bed of a truck, but I manage it by myself despite my messed up back. It rolls easily on ramps and flat surfaces with the handle and wheels.
93% appreciated the fuel efficiency, though 7% didn't
We can run the AC all night for about 3 nights with two 20lbs propane tanks.
The inverter-generator has a rough idle and consumes a full tank of fuel in 3.5 hours with no load.
85% appreciated the low maintenance, though 15% didn't
The company refused to fix it due to negligence in maintenance. I had only used it for 15 hours and had not changed the oil.
The closest service center doesn't have a tech and the next closest has 90 generators to repair. It will take 4 weeks to look at mine.
97% liked the quiet operation, but 3% found it loud
The noise level is not really bad and the Champion is pretty quiet considering it is over twice the output of my old Honda 2200 inverter.
I used an app to measure decibels and recorded only 60 dB while running one or both generators, indicating a very low noise level.
The noise level of this generator is less than my previous Yamaha generator, but it's not an experience-rich statement.
89% praised the power output
I was able to power up my 30 amp camper with the inverter-generator and turn on the AC, fridge, lights, TV, and water heater, using only 40% of its power output.
I ran the generator for 10 hours on 1/2 tank of propane with a light load.
85% appreciated the safety features, although 15% encountered issues
The safety features of inverter-generators include 'clean' power suitable for sensitive loads.
I warn that hitting the yellow start button will reengage the starter and cause damage.
