3800-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator with Electric Start

Got this due to three outages in one month. This generator is beast. Runs our refrigerator and two CPAPs at the same time easily. Make sure you get the special heavy duty extension cord made for it and the accessories kit for rhe wheels, since it weighs 100 pounds. Be sure to remove the shipping bracets under it. They can be hard to find. Make sure to do the 5 hour break in run with nothing connected and add 10w30 oil before running it. I had a few extra screws and contacted support and they were really great and resolved in 24 hours.

It has been performing well. Easy to start, and I have run it on both gas & propane with no issue. It uses about 5 gal. of gas per day. I really appreciate the electric start. My one minor complaint is that it states the oil capacity as 0.6 qt. which is exactly what was included, but I wound up with a lot of oil spilling out. It does use some oil during use, so I echo the recommendation of checking it every 8 hours. I wish the oil filler was easier to access, and more important, easier to check the level. It does seem loud, but no worse than the ancient one it replaced. I don't have any other comparison.

This portable generator from Champion Power Equipment has been a real game-changer for me. Whether I'm camping off the grid or dealing with a power outage at home, this 4750-watt dual fuel beast always has my back. The electric start feature is a godsend - no more struggling with pull cords in the cold! Plus, the wheel kit makes it super easy to move around, even on rough terrain.I've used it to power up my RV appliances, charge my devices, and even run power tools when needed. The performance is top-notch, and I love the flexibility of using either gasoline or propane. The only downside I've noticed is that it can be a bit noisy, but that's pretty common with generators of this size. Overall, if you need reliable power on the go, this Champion generator won't let you down.

The most valuable and reliable piece of equipment we ever purchased. Hurricanes can be scary but not when you have this generator to rely on. Served us through many storms.

First impressions were good. Unit was easy to set up. To add or drain oil you will need to literally lie on the ground to do so. For some that may be an issue and at 120 pounds just lifting it up on to a workbench likely not possible for 1 person. Then I noticed the front face plate had damage (see photos). The box did not arrive in a damaged state that would suggest it had occurred during shipping. I have contacted customer support and will update with how that works out. **excellent customer service, received replies to my emails in less the 24 hours, they will be shipping the replacement for the damaged part, very pleased with their quick resolving of the problem**I ran it for the 1st hour as part of the break in period and the clock showed 3 hours. Now perhaps it is ran for a couple of hours as part of the quality control process but I will watch that closely to see if it is accurate. Ran it for a 2nd hour after changing the oil and the unit was surging at idle now. Most common cause is a partial blockage of the idle jet in the carburetor- not something one would expect after less than 2 hours of operation. **added some mechanic in a bottle and the surging is no longer a problem and the unit has been running perfectly** Hoping these issues are resolved quickly and without hassle. Unit does appear well constructed and fired right up- but can go either way with if I could recommend this brand/model. **needed to email champion again on when the replacement part would arrive (mid January)- never received a reply but the part arrived a week later. Not perfect but they did do what they said they would**

I live pretty far from the grid, and frequently lose power each year but typically not more than a day. I got this to recharge my Anker F3800s when an outage exceeds two days. I basically use the F3800 and Solix Home Power Panel as a house UPS. It lets me recharge them on propane at their full 1800W recharge rate if they deplete before the grid comes back online. There was a couple extra bolts & nuts in the shipping container that was not identified as being included/required, but after going through the assembly with a fine tooth comb I couldn't find any missing hardware so fingers crossed it doesn't fall apart. Otherwise it assembled easily enough and once the nearly dead battery was recharged, it fired right up on propane and now sits ready for the next major outage. I did add a maintainer connection to the battery to make sure that it's always ready.
