Champion Power Equipment Reviews

This is our second champion generator and do recommend when friends looking to purchase generator. Anybody can start as nothing tricky to do starts if not in first pull then second for sure. Generator is surprisingly quiet.

3800 running watts on gas, and 3200 W on LPG, and me and my wife can lift it into the bed of the pickup too. Plenty of power for essentials in a house and while used camping or on a job site. Had it together in 1/2 hour. Metric hardware of course so have basic metric wrenches. What is cool is they include oil, LPG hose, Oil spout, and wheels and handle. Other generator manufacturers make you buy a kit! So you plug and play with Champion! The hour, volts and Hz gauge is a bonus too for a generator even more expensive. Very happy so far.

I needed to be able to lift the generator in and out of my RV and not have gas in closed area. This generator runs perfectly on propane. I will be able to keep my battery in my RV charged and use my CPAP machine while dry camping.

Very reliable performer, although not the quietest generator in the RV park. I also have used this to power half my home in an extended power outage and quite satisfied with it. Once in a while I need to use starter fluid to get it going after sitting a long while - it pays to start them up regularly.

I am very satisfied with this generator. The price range was in the low end for the quality and wattage output. Starts on the first or second pull every time. I do not have a lot of hours on it but so far I am happy.

The Champion 1700 was very easy to operate. I am a female in the struggle most of the time with equipment and it was very simple to work. My teenagers can even work this with no trouble. I recommend this product for anybody of any age.

I tried it when I got home to make sure it that it would run my furnace and it performed great. I feel better knowing that we will not freeze anymore during power outages in the winter. When looking for a gen set this one had good ratings and price.

I once wrote a review for Champion generator. I was fooled to believe that the item was good and if it wasn't, the limited love time warranty would cover it, no! My generator started leaking oil into the pistons. I called, they told me to try and adjust the values. I did, no help. So I called back, this time, all they were concerned about was how my hours were on the generator, I told them less than 200 hours. No help, they asked me to take it to a repair shop, but there are none near me for at least 100 miles in every direction. So no help, they won't replace it or the motor. By the way, it's only 6 months old. Very poor customer service, they don't keep their word on the warranty end. My advice, don't buy a champion generator. Cummings-Onnan have teamed up to make a portable generator, try them instead.

I have to 2500 what inverter generators from Champion and individually they were awesome. I also needed to have at least 4500 watch to run certain equipment and is parallel kit fit the bill. It is very easy to use just about self-explanatory it comes complete ready to operate.

Bought a 3500 Watt Open Frame Dual Fuel Inverter. Filled fluids, oil & gas. Gas leaked all over driveway. Switched to propane. Pull cord would not budge. After nearly breaking the pull cord, grinding sound in engine. Finally got good pulls but no propane flowing. Tested propane regulator output. Regulator not allowing propane flow. Driveway is asphalt and permanently stained by lost gas. Got local warranty service team in Houston phone number. Called and got cell phone. Left message. Received return call later saying he only serviced large standby generators and gave me a number to another guy. Called a cell phone, no answer, left message. Received call later that he only sold portable generators and said another guy would call. Never called.

WE have a 12kw home standby generator by Champion. It has 40 hours on it, we have already replaced starter, flywheel and now during the last power outage the generator never came on automatically. I had to go out in the middle of the night in pouring rain and thunder and lighting and turn it on manually. I’ve called their emergency line and and you leave a message. Well when someone did call me back after 6 hours, I wasn’t near my phone so they left a message basically telling me they will try later. Obviously no one called back. The next day I call their service line, waited 45 minutes and no picked up. I tried another line for generator service. Left a message and no one has called me back yet. I am very disappointed with champion's customer service and product. I will never buy another champion product and I advise people not to buy their generator.

Better than expected. I Love my Champion 4700 watts generator. I am VERY HAPPY with it. Started the first time. Using propane. It's a well-built machine. It's VERY QUIET, the price was right. It got here in 3 days. The wheels and handle work Great. Bill S.

Just bought a Champion pressure washer. Was shopping when I stumble on reviews about Champion. I had already a few ago a wood splitter from Champion and I am very satisfied with it. That gave me confidence about the pressure washer so I got one. Right from the first crank out of the box it nearly started. Same thing about the wood splitter. Very powerful and a charm to start. For the price, you can't beat it.

Really love the electric start. The fuel efficiency, the affordability. It's lighter but noisier than my last generator. Lastly the wheel kit makes it easy to maneuver. Enjoying working with this generator.

I love my generator. Built well! Works well! And quieter than any other generator I've owned. I recommend a Champion generator to anyone that needs one and stand by champion 100%. Don't hesitate. Get out and buy yours today.

Works perfectly, easy to mount and to start. The model I choose work with either gas or propane. Just plug a propane tank and ready to go. With electric starter no need to crank or anything else to do.

I bought the Champion 9000w generator. I run the entire house with plenty of power, it was easy to start with the electric starter, just put the oil in the motor and started right up, ran the generator for 2 hours with no problem. I recommend this brand.

Ordered this little beauty last week and arrived today. The set up was as easy as could be, I had the wheels installed in under a minute, the support leg in another minute. Of note, there are rubber "boots" for the battery, make sure you slide them down the wire so you can cover the battery connection with them, if you take them off you can't get them on once you tighten the screws to the battery posts. A little trick there that the instructions don't cover. Beautiful unit, next hurricane we will have power.

When I bought this product, it was not assembled from the retailer. I decided to assemble it at home. I was pleased to see that all the parts are well organized with directions that are easy to understand. This product started up on the first pull after I was finished putting it together. It splits wood like a champion!

I purchased a Champion generator 2018 and only after a few uses it exploded. This event has changed my life. I recieved 3rd degree burns on my legs and arms. I had to learn how to walk again. I'm a Volkswagen master technician certified 2018. I cant believe that this manufacture is still producing this unsafe generator and still selling it.

I BOUGHT A 5500 WATT Champion GENERATOR AND IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. It powered one 15000 BTU window a/c, one 10000 BTU a/c and one 8000 BTU a/c. An ice box, freezer and T/V and lights. It replaced an [OLD] champion 3500 generator. I needed a more powerful generator as I live near Houston Texas. I bought it 9-7-2019 and I am very happy with it. Thanks Champion for a great generator.

When my friend and I laid out all the parts in the crate.. Whoa!! What is all this? Turn out to be an easy project. It came together very easy and had it going in no time. Beer time included, we each had one. Took three pulls to fire it up and started splitting wood. Split a round 30"x 23" long with big nuts all over and it split easy. I live in a small mountain community and will show off my new Champion wood splitter to all. Will recommend it as well. Might mention there was a coupon for a T-shirt in paperwork. Went online, couldn't find the site? Thanks anyway Manny **. Now I have to do some work with my new splitter.

I choose the 3400/3100 with the electric and remote start, This Generator will be carried in the bed of my Ford 150 Crew cab for camping this spring, summer and fall in our 24 foot RV travel trailer. The videos and reviews I read said it could handle power needs even when air conditioning is needed in the hot valley of California. It can run air and the microwave. Two high need power functions at the same time.

Living in Southwestern Ontario, we have been getting more ice storms during our winter months. We have had our electricity blacked out and lost contents from our freezer and fridge 3 times in 2 years. I decided to buy a portable generator to carry us through these times. I bought a 11500/9200 W generator that was on sale. It was easy to set up and run. We haven't needed to use it yet as a back up but looking forward to the abilities it will have for us.

I am very pleased with the generator after an ice storm that knocked out land power. It has a very good shipping/handling container. Easy instruction to follow. Filled with oil/gas and it started on second pull. The next day moved it to my land power box. Started on first pull and ran power to my house. Much quieter than my old generator. Well worth the price.

I made the mistake of buying the 7-ton gas log splitter for my husband for Christmas. Big mistake. When the splitter failed to start on January 15, the Customer Service line was unhelpful and the Customer Service Rep even hung-up on my husband. Naturally, we tried returning it to Tractor Supply, but could only receive an in-store credit. So much for the warranty. Champion does not stand behind their products.

Wow! The product (Champion 76533 Dual Fuel Generator) got here when promised. The packing was top notch and kept the product safe. The instructions made it a cinch to put together. After reading the instructions I set it up for LP fuel and after about 10 minutes had it running. It is about half as loud as my old DeVilbiss Generator which is fantastic! I simply love the wheels and handle that make it easy to move around. Don't even hesitate to buy this machine!

This is what I was looking for. I am putting it on my side by side. The winch looks to be a good value for the money - can't beat it. I have not used it yet but sure I will be happy with it. The winch looks like it is well built.

Bought the generator for deer camp. Ran good the first day then it died. Went to pull spark plug out. It was cross-threaded. I finally got the plug out. A new one in will start and die two days. I messed with it. Third day it started up. Work fine couple days then the same thing. I will never buy another piece of Champion equipment.

Purchased 3 days ago after going through yet another power failure. Plan to provide power to my freezer, fridge and television during the next outage. This product works great! Added the crankcase oil and Hitest gas with stabilizer and it started on the third pull with the temperature in the minus 12 Celsius range. Ran my table saw, circular saw and wood splitter during the break in period with no problem.

Do not buy this or any products from Champion Power Equipment. They will not support it. I feel bad for the people trying to sell this junk. The motor didn't work outta the box, I called in the support like it says to. Did exactly what they told me to confirm it was all together, which it was, and they just wanted to argue with me. STAY AWAY FROM CHAMPION POWER EQUIPMENT!

I bought an electric start Champion generator. Very reasonable price. It's a 4750 starting watts, 3800 running watts. Starts so good just flip the switch! Of course it has a pull cord if the battery goes out, which the generator comes stock with. Well spent money.

We got a good deal on it and are pretty happy with our experience so far. We have played around with it and checked to make sure it starts when it needs to. It starts right up within a try or two. It's 5500 watts so I know it will power the fridge if we need it to. And it'll be Good to have if the power ever goes out. But I wish it didn't mind the cold and would start up right away. I keep it outside away from the kids and mainly have it in case the power goes out in the winter.

It's very nice and pretty perfect for my use and my family. I use it almost every summer and spring for back up and power outages. The power contained in the generator allows for prolonged power and back up in an emergency. I really love it and how it contains many outlets for you to plug in to and charge. I hope they make more and not change it at all.

It starts easy and is not very loud, it's also very easy to add gas to the unit. It's pretty simple to use and it also stands out being very bright yellow. But it's a tad on the heavy side of a generator of this size. Other than that, I really like it.

Champion is so far the best generator in the history of all mankind in my honest utmost opinion. I highly recommend this brand. It holds 5 gallons of high octane fuel and contains 2 quarts of royal purple for most desired running. It's compatible with literally any of your basic electric needs and it comes either gas or Diesel powered. It is capable of running over 8500 watts and has 10 110 power outlets. But I would install an electric start button or switch for faster and easier ignition. The machine itself is well more than capable of in during such a feature.

Champion generator puts out a lot of power and has multiple ports for 120 volt and 220 volt applications. It is a great machine that I use for work and recreation and has never let me down. I really like how fuel efficient it is being a tank of gas will last up to 8 hours sometimes. The only thing that is a little bad is how heavy it is. Sometimes I have trouble loading and unloading the generator by myself into my truck but it came with wheels so moving it around on the ground is really no problem. Every household should have a generator like this one in case of emergencies. We had our power out during hurricane Irma for over 4 days and without this generator me and my family would have had a very hard time dealing with the aftermath of the storm. I will buy another Champion generator.
