    • The Whispering Dynamo That Saved My Sanity!
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
Buckle up, folks, because I've got a tale to tell about the Champion Power Equipment 200961 2500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator. You know, that mouthful of a name that packs a punch like a heavyweight champ? Well, let me tell you, this ultralight powerhouse is like the ninja of generators – small, stealthy, and surprisingly strong. First off, let's talk about noise. Or rather, the lack thereof! This thing is so quiet; I half expected it to start whispering sweet nothings to me. Seriously, it's quieter than a church mouse doing yoga. You could run this generator in your backyard and your neighbor wouldn't even notice. Well, they might notice the lights on, but they won't hear a peep! Now, onto its magical ability to actually work. It's like this thing was born to power up my world. Whether I needed it for a camping trip, to keep the fridge from turning into a sauna during a power outage, or just for the sheer joy of firing up a mini power plant in my backyard (don't judge, it's oddly satisfying!), this Champion generator stepped up every single time. And it's dual fuel, so it'll happily run on gasoline or propane, making it as flexible as a contortionist at a circus. Oh, did I mention it's ultralight? This thing is lighter than a feather in a helium balloon factory. Carrying it around is easier than lugging a sack of marshmallows. I mean, who needs a gym membership when you can just tote this generator around for your daily exercise? But hey, it's not all rainbows and unicorns. I wish it had a built-in coffee maker and a massage function. Kidding! In all seriousness, this thing is a gem. In conclusion, if you want a generator that's quieter than a sleeping baby, works harder than a beaver building a dam, and is lighter than a featherweight champion, then the Champion Power Equipment 200961 is your knight in shining armor. Trust me, it's a game-changer. Just don't ask it to make you a latte. ... show more

    • 08/28/2024 for a two year update Excellent Generator
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
We have had this two years now only used over summers at campground. We run straight propane so we don't have to winterize the gasoline. Runs 3 smaller refrigerators at once, our two fridges and our neighbors. No problems, its QUIET and a couple pulls fires right up. We use this in Michigan outside Grand Rapids and store it for the winter in our little shed in the original box. Initial start up we followed the users guide to break it in running for a couple hours under light load and then change the oil to remove the metal shavings as it gets seated. Our power just went out yesterday(usually at least 2 times a summer from storms) and we have had it running for 14 hours straight now- used approx. 3.5gals propane . I turned off to check oil after it cooled a bit to give it a break. The oil is at normal level did not use any and is still very clean. Changed to a new full propane tank, as power company says it will be another few hours before they restore power. I wanted to give update from original purchase over two years ago. I know it is light use but it has been excellent in performance and wanted to share. Depending our your needs I would not hesitate to get one of these and you can link two together should you require more power. Users Tip- write down quick start procedure with sharpie on card place in ziplock bag so when the time comes and its dark you wont have to fumble around for the directions. ... show more

    • So far so good.
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
Update: Had our first power outage since purchasing this generator. Have not cranked it up since break-in. This time it actually started easier than during break-in. Maybe the 5W-30 Full Synthetic oil helped. I connected the propane tank and turned the dial to choke. Pulled the cord quickly 5 times and smelled propane. (This is good since To indicated that the propane has reached the carburetor). Switched the dial to propane and it started first pull. The generator ran for 6 hours powering the security system, one lamp, an LED TV and sound system, cable box and modem, router, computer and monitor, and refrigerator. No problems. The oil level after six hours was unchanged. Again, so far so good. 2500 dual fuel portable generator. Today I ran through the break in schedule with a few modifications. A total of six hours on propane. I was expecting a significant amount of metal debris but I was pleasantly surprised. Here was my break-in schedule and results: After adding the included 10W-30 conventional oil, I ran the generator for one hour (after I got it started. More on that later.) alternating between no load and 1/4 load after running on no load for the first 15 minutes. When I emptied the oil, it looked very clean with only a small amount of VERY fine metal dust on the tip of the magnetic dipstick that I had purchased for this generator. I added fresh conventional 10W-30 oil and ran it for two hours alternating between no load, 1/4 load, and 1/3 load. Again emptied the oil. It was still only slightly dirtier than the first change and again only a small amount of metal dust. I added fresh 10W-30 again and ran the generator for three hours alternating between no load, 1/4 load, and 1/2 load. I then drained the oil again. It was considerably dirtier than before but little observable metal debris. Finally I filled the generator with 5W-30 full synthetic oil and ran the generator at 1,500 watts for 30 minutes. No problem. My break in schedule was a little work but I think it will make a difference in performance and longevity in the long run. While maybe a little overkill, for a $6.00 quart of oil and a little time, it was worth it to me. During all the break in, I used the ECO mode for up to 1/3 load and then ran on full throttle for 1/2 load or higher. It ran smoothly in both settings. There was very little oil usage during the break in runs. So far I am very satisfied with this generator so far. I can’t speak to long term reliability. Now to starting: The temp was 75 to 86 degrees with moderately low humidity during the break in period. You will read a number of comments about difficulty in starting the generator on propane and ways to help. They are mostly right except the generator WILL start with a little patience and some elbow grease. After starting the generator for the first time, it was very easy to start after that. Getting it primed is the issue. Some folks indicated that they usually started the generator first on gasoline, then switched to propane. I’m sure this would work but I am trying to use only propane except in an emergency for obvious reasons (No treating the gas then draining before storage. I know first hand how quickly a carburetor can gum up.) I also considered giving the air intake a little spritz of starting fluid but decided against that. Maybe in very cold weather. I’ll have to do some research on that. The trick is to get the propane out of the tank, through the regulator and hose, and into the carburetor. With the dial set on choke I pulled the rope about six times then turned it to propane-nothing. Back to choke and pulled it another six times. This time it fired up after three pulls when I turned to propane. After that when the engine was warm, it started on one or two pulls without choking. I’m a little tired but satisfied. I will have to see how it goes in cold weather. By the way —I’m 76 years old and in terrible shape. If I can start it, most anyone should be able to. Misc: For load testing I used an oil filled type radiator space heater. It allowed settings for 600W, 900W, and 1,500W. I only plan to run the generator continuously on up too 1,500W so these settings were close enough and didn’t require me to keep changing appliances. The generator does not have an hour meter but there is a place inside the service cover that looks like it was made for one. Following the advice of another reviewer, I bought a cheap induction meter on Amazon (Magicalmai) and used a couple of zip ties to secure it in the place I mentioned before. No drilling. Works great. Be sure to wrap the induction wire at least five times around the spark plug wire as close to the plug as possible. I hope that I do not encounter problems with this generator as the other reviews are weighed heavily toward the lauded tech service being awful and beyond useless. Nothing galls me more than calling “expert” tech service and find out that I am speaking to someone in another country whose resources are nothing more than the same owners manual that I have. We’ll see! I guess I can’t offer any more comments at this time but I will come back after I’ve had time to evaluate the generator during actual usage. It’s getting to be storm season here in the southeast followed by winter ice. I’m pretty sure I will need the generator. I wonder if Amazon will post this long review? Hope it is helpful. ... show more
