Just completed the break-in period and so far the unit is operating perfectly ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y . I was amazed by just how quiet this little guy is. I kept having to walk down the driveway to the generator to make sure it was still running. In fact, the most annoying noise coming from the set-up is a high-pitched chirping coming from the pressure regulator on the propane line. I suppose it's possible my other propane-powered generator's pressure regulator is making the same noise, but the generator itself is so loud I've never noticed it. Build quality so far is excellent. My only nit is the service panel is a little tricky to remove. I feel like I might break off one of the plastic tabs when bending it back. I probably just need to work out the technique, so will not hold it against Champion.Next week I intend to fully load the unit to charge a large battery pack and will update this review if there's any problem (3000W continuous load vs a rated 3100W capacity while using propane). Absent any trouble there, I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.

Gavin, thanks for all your great videos, I watched most of them over the past 2 months. I finally decided on this generator sold at Cabela's.

Gavin, thank you for this review. After watching this, I purchased this exact unit from Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine, TX. This product works great and is super easy to operate. I really like the full-size maintenance panel on the backside of the unit. You turn 2 90° speed nuts, and the panel lifts out, no screwdriver necessary. I have been running mine on propane only up to now, but I will eventually get some gasoline into the mix as well. Thanks again, you're a difference maker with what you do!!!

@BradiKal61 2 года назад

I have a 4,500 watt version of the champion dual fuel generator, and so far I've ONLY run it on propane, I'm going to avoid using gas in it for as long as possible. I've had no problems whatsoever starting it, although I know in extremely cold weather propane will become very difficult to start.

@markgreen2488 Год назад

This particular generators start procedure is super easy. Hook up the propane tank and open the valve. Turn the generator dial to the propane choke setting. Push the start button and listen for the engine trying to ignite. (this takes about 2 seconds). Turn the dial to propane start. Push the starter button, and the unit fires up immediately. Just that simple, and it happens every time!

Food for thought the Honda EU 7000i will run 7200 watts while maintaining proper voltage without an overload light as proven by your 240 volt heater video when it is only rated at a spike load of 7000 watts, that speaks to a quality build and why the prices are so high on them.

@kez850 2 года назад

I wish more of their generators had eco mode to help keep the noise down when possible

@BKD70 9 месяцев назад

All of the inverter generators do. Eco mode is not possible on a conventional generator of any brand, because engine rpm determines the AC frequency... therefore the engine MUST run at 3600rpm to have the correct AC frequency.

@blazelong3803 Год назад

Just a heads up for everyone. I bought one of these brand new in January of 2022. Did all the oil changes, checked and cleaned the air filter etc at the correct times. In the last month it started running rough/surging and suddenly it couldn't handle the previous load I'd run on it. Did a oil change, checked the air filter (clean) and put a new spark plug in. It'd either surge really low and struggle to stay running or die. I had it running today powering about 350 watts worth of lights in a trailer and while I was away it apparently died. Generator will no longer start at all. I know guys who run generators and never change the oil or rarely and they stay going for years. Just a heads up to anyone looking at this unit. Hopefully, Champion will stand behind their product and make it right. I noticed most of the reviews are right when a person buys the unit new and no one is giving updates down the road for long term reliability.

Hi Gavin, love your channel.

@stephenwhite5444 2 года назад

Huh, rated at 5500/4000 watts but it went into overload before that. The Westinghouse 4500 was able to power more than that. Do you think its performance is due to the RV plug since its rated less than the overall machine (30A plug)? Maybe running the RV plug and a standard plug at the same time, would get the 4000watts? It shut off around 3500 watts. In any case, it looks like the Westinghouse, eventhough rated less, can power more....at least from that one plug.

@GeneratorReviews 2 года назад

One thing I really like about the champion 5500 is when starting loads like A/C units it has zero hesitation especially when running two ACs I don’t think the plug has anything to do with it because I’ve tested larger generators with the exact same set up Thanks for watching Steven I appreciate your comments👍🏾

This generator would not be sufficient enough for what you need. If you wanted to contact me and go over what you really need you can call me direct at 832-257-3149 Gavin’s Garage generators superstore.

@rickmarchetti3698 Год назад

That unit fits my needs, Question, how much would it be to install Remote start?

@GeneratorReviews Год назад

There are other units with that exact same specs and remote start. The problem is you have to install automatic choke as well.

Would you recommend this model generator over the new 5500 watt predator dual fuel model? I’m looking for a dual fuel that will run my camper that has 1 small window AC unit and 1 mini fridge, plus one tv at about 1/4 load total to keep noise levels way down during quiet hours at campgrounds. I like that the predator has remote start and supposedly is a little quieter. Do you have an opinion on either? Or on the sound differences? Thanks!

@GeneratorReviews 11 месяцев назад

I will do a video comparing the two if that would make it easier for you.

@dylanhenkins8508 11 месяцев назад

What's the names of the gas generators that can use gas/propane with a remote/electric start and the battery is already attached with a gas meter and oil meter ?

@ronaldbeach8724 Год назад

What the main difference between the 5500 and the 4500 I’m looking at buying one and would love your opinion in which one you’d purchase I’m going to purchase a dual fuel thank you

@GeneratorReviews Год назад

The main difference between those two is the starting watts of the 5500 allows you to start larger loads without any problems

Hello Gavin, I could really use your expertise. My parents purchased a 50 amp, 33ft travel trailer with dual ac.,15k and 13.5k. They bought the same generator you’re load testing. The break-in has been done, but I’m curious to know your ac btu’s and why we can’t get both ac’s to run. The only other appliance that is powered on, is the 12v fridge. Help! If you have time, thanks!

@GeneratorReviews 2 года назад

Hey 👋 Tell them congrats on the RV, soft starts are a must for the Rv ac, not only does it extend the life of the units it lowers the starting amps and makes it possible to run both. The extra cost quickly makes up in your peace of mind

@ladyn801 Год назад

Hello again Gavin! Ok, we put a soft start on the 15k ac, but we still can’t get both ac to run. Should we put a soft start on the 13.5k 2 control ac or are we doing something wrong. Your input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

@ladyn801 Год назад

Also noticed the adapters you used. Does that have any bearing on our issue…50 amp RV to 30 amp generator receptacle?

@benoitbeaudry4640 6 месяцев назад

Great video Gavin...is there a visual gauge for gas ?

@GeneratorReviews 6 месяцев назад

No, this model does not have a digital gauge

@benoitbeaudry4640 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Gavin , from your research do you know if the censor CO2 shut off could be a problem longterm..apparently those censors have limited life span and can make the generator stop often..read that from a user of the same generator.

@soggybottom23 Год назад

Basically I need a genset for once a year boondocking to run a 50 amp Rv with one ac at a time and minimal appliance use would this a better option than going with a larger unit? Plus the dual fuel I wouldn’t need any pump gas. Your thoughts?

@GeneratorReviews Год назад

This unit would actually provide you with all the power for need for what you listed, especially having dual fuel.

@GeneratorReviews 2 года назад

They’re both dual fuel the champion handles the two AC and refrigerator and couple other appliances Westinghouse gives you remote start Great Generators both have a three-year warranty I’m going to do a test on the Westinghouse dual fuel 4500 Then you can see exactly which one you want

@GeneratorReviews 2 года назад

@@michaeljay6271 There is a visual size difference the champion is larger and wider when it comes to sound I think the champion is quieter, If I was the one buying and I had to make a decision based on those two I would go with the champion especially with the LED lighting for night time and the extra wattage If you think you’re gonna be using the remote start then consider the champion they’re both awesome choices

Dont kill me if this question sounds dumb, why would anyone go with any other inverter besides this one in terms of price. And its give of way more wattage. Im purchusing a 2021 38dbq 5th wheel, would this generator do the work i need it to? Yes its 50amp hook up.

Yep! I think it’s able to get the job done. Just plan on installing soft starts on your AC it help the Generator and also helps the ac compressor

I agree this unit is has good features/value and price per watt is low. I think the main reason is not as popular is: its new, its only available at Bass Pro Shop and Cabela's ( as far as I know) and Bass Pro and Cabela's as been out of stock most the time.
