Reliable, quiet, and easy to use

17 days ago
Extremely pleased with this Generator, I normally don't leave positive reviews, but this deserved it. I have put on nearly 1700 hours of run time since March 2025 on this generator powering my cabin (which is essentially my home). It's been going strong with nothing but basic maintenance. The time has come to move on to a larger generator, and given how great this one has treated me, I will be looking at another larger Champion model. This one will stay in my possession as a nice quiet backup.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Q: What is the sound level in decibels?

a year ago
2 Answers
  • A: Champion website says 61 dB level with ECO off which is reasonable and my finding as well. With the ECO switch on the dB level falls to a very exceptional 55-56 with low load, I find it more than acceptable. To note this is much. much quieter than any conventional generator which is generally producing a 70 dB level regardless of load.

Q: how big is gas tank?. can i run oil furnace?

a year ago
2 Answers
  • A: Fuel tank holds 14 liters or 3 imperial gallons. Champion claims 20 hours run time at low load and I believe them, I can tell you mine is incredibly fuel efficient. If your furnace is 120v this unit should run it without issue. With a 3 prong L5-30P to 4 prong L14-30R adapter I run my whole house on it including a propane furnace, again 120v only.

Q: How low in temperature out side will they run ?

11 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your question. This unit is designed to operate in temperatures as low as -20°F. For colder temperatures, we recommend using 5W-30 synthetic oil for smoother operation. In the unit's operator's manual, on page 32, you will find an oil chart with the recommended oil for different temperatures. If you have further questions, you can contact us at 1-877-338-0999, email us at support@cpeauto.com, or message us through our live chat feature on our website.

Q: can a duel fuel inverter generetor run on natral gas or propane

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Our dual fuel generators are only designed to run on propane or gasoline. If you're interested in the option to use natural gas, we recommend exploring our trifuel models, which are compatible with natural gas, propane, and gasoline. Please note that any modifications made to our dual fuel units to run on natural gas would unfortunately void the unit's 3-year warranty. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to our support team at 1-877-338-0999, email us at support@cpeauto.com, or access our live chat through our main website. Thank you

Q: Is this generator capable of plugging ino small (under 3000 Watts) home panel?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your question. Yes, this unit can operate with a transfer switch. Your best option would be a 30-amp transfer switch that supports 120 volts, as that is the output this unit provides. We offer the Model 201192, which is a 30-amp, 240-volt manual transfer switch; however, please note that you would still only be able to use 120 volts from this unit. Additionally, you would need an adapter to convert your 30-amp receptacle from a 3-prong to a 4-prong, as this unit is equipped with a 3-prong receptacle. Alternatively, we recommend consulting with a licensed electrician who can advise on the best way to integrate this unit with a transfer switch you may already have or help you select the right components for your setup.
