  • 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

  • Runs great on propane
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
I read several reviews of the 2500W duel fual model having issues getting started on Propan. I followed the written instructions for using propane and the generator started on the first pull every time. I completed the ~5hr break in process over 2 days with no issues. I ran varying loads, changing every 15-20 minutes to vary engine speed and load by using several fans and a ceramic heater that had 3 levels of heat. Also you can turn ECO mode on and off to get the generator to run at diffrent RPMS during breakin. It sounds like with ECO mode on, it will only speed up as much as it needs to carry the load, where with ECO off it runs at max RPM and you just hear the engine load up as you add load. I recommend running in ECO mode at first so you get the most RPM changes, especially during the first hour of operation. It is best for beak in of the piston rings to not just run at a constant speed. After changing the oil to synthetic 5W-30 after the break in period I ran it for another hour or two adding more loads and monitoring output voltage, current and frequency. It would handle up to 15A (1800W) steady state load very well, keeping voltage stable at 120VAC and frequency at 60Hz. If you start loading it above 15A to 15.5A the output voltage drops to 110V. It maintains a solid 110V untill you hit the overload at ~17A. The overload was easy to reset once the load was dropped. I was impressed with how the frequency remained stable at 60Hz even when loading it up or when starting a larger load (like refrigerator). It had no issue dealing with startop inrush currents up to 20A. I never experienced an overload when starting anything. My goal is to be able to keep a fridge and some fans, or 1500W heater or small 6000Btu window unit running (each seperate, not at the same time) and this generator did great. At low or minim load this generator is whisper quiet. Even at load it is not exteremely loud. Even at full load with the generator about 20ft from the house, you could barely hear it hum indoors. I measured 59-63dB on the sides and back, 70dB on back (exhaust side) with no load in ECO mode. 69-72dB on sides and front and 73dB on exhaust side with 12A of load and ECO mode off. This generator is working great, appears to be very well made and is meeting all of my needs. 30 day update 03/31/2022. After sitting for a month I did another test run to make sure everything works great before the 30 day return window closed. 3 priming pulls on propane and it fired right up on the first starting pull. Ran great like it did before. I am still very happy with the generator. I will try to remember to add another long term update when I do another maintenance run. ... show more

  • Great quality
Style: 2500-Watt + Dual Fuel Pattern Name: Generator
I have 2 Champion 2500 watt inverters. I love them. Easy start, very quiet, easy on fuel. Only thing, if you set on ground where forest fluff or dusty ground, it sucks dust into air filter. I put down a tarp and set on top of a milk crate.and that solves that issue.
