About Champion Power Equipment 201183 2500-Watt Ultralight Portable Dual Fuel Inverter Generator
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
88% liked the sturdy construction
I feel that the generator is well built and of good quality. I doubt that I will encounter any issues in future camping trips.
I am not giving it 5 stars because of the generator's starting issue.
96% liked the fuel efficiency
I was able to fully charge my power station with propane fuel in just an hour, which completely solved my charging needs and also gave me a second power source if needed.
I was very pleased that the unit could run my refrigerator and deep freeze with a box fan for 8 hours on 1 gallon of fuel.
95% found maintenance straightforward, but 5% faced complications
I am unable to start the unit now.
95% were satisfied with the quiet operation, but 5% were bothered
I was able to run multiple devices up to about half the capacity without any noticeable up/down rev noise. The unit is good.
The noise level is not as quiet as I hoped for and it doesn't match the claim of 53dB. However, it easily pulled a steady 2400W load on propane.
95% found it easy to transport
I bought this generator for backup power for my travel trailer. It is portable and suitable for outdoor use.
The generator is unbelievably light and small compared to what I'm used to. It can be lifted with one hand, stashed easily in the truck or trailer, and comes with everything needed to get it going.
88% appreciated the high power output, but 12% found it insufficient
I have owned 3 other gas generators and finally jumped on the dual fuel generator. Using propane gives me 1665 watts running.
I can fully charge my power station with propane fuel in an hour using the generator, which solves my charging needs and provides a second power source if needed.
I was pleased with the generator's performance as it ran my refrigerator, deep freeze, and a box fan for 8 hours on 1 gallon of fuel.
As the propane tank gets to about 1/4 full, the pressure begins to wane and the output decreases, resulting in longer charging times for the batteries.
93% appreciated the long runtime, but 7% found it limited
Using only a 25 percent load will give me about 34 hours in a 20 pound tank of propane.
I was able to run multiple devices up to about half the capacity without any noticeable up and down rev noise. The unit is good.
I used the generator for fourteen hours to run a new fridge and freezer on one outlet. This is the first time I used it for such a long duration.
I have only run the generator for 2 hours so far and it is still in the break-in period.

85% found it easy to start up, but 15% experienced difficulties
After using non-ethanol gas, I started the generator with two easy pulls.
The generator is easy to start and operate, and it's fairly quiet.
The assembly was easy and it started on the second pull after pouring the oil and hooking up the propane regulator it came with.
I find it a little hard to get started and have provided the steps to follow for starting the generator.
