Bought this unit about a month ago. I already own 2 champion generators as I live in the country and rely on solar power for my needs. Been using a 4000 watts gas daily for my travel trailer, and a 5000 watts propane whenever I need 220 volts or heavy power to run my contractor's tools. Both have been very reliable.

Wanted something quiet and fuel efficient for movie watching at night without the background noise.

So far, this unit has performed to my expectations.

Same quality as the other 2 generators, much lighter to carry around, easy to understand instructions.If you put gas in it, fill up the oil, and don't forget to turn on the main switch, the gas, and the tank breather on the filler cap, it will start on first pull. ( first time users might have to practice the pull. Whimpy pulls won't do it, and "gorilla" pulls will break the cord . Use common sense. )

On the first night, I powered a 24" TV and a DVD player, + a couple lights in trailer. The generator handled the job in the "economy" mode and was super quiet. It does not make much more noise in the "standard" mode either.

Best is to put it on a foam pad to absorb vibrations and limit noise.

Fuel consumption is less than half of my 4000 watts champion.

I was considering a Honda or a Yamaha at twice the price. Since I use it everyday, money was not the main concern. But Champion is one of the few brands that has good follow up if you need help, and most small repair shops are able to fix them. Parts are available.

Needless to say, either one needs maintenance at regular intervals. Follow instructions, and don't loose the manual.

And don't expect this thing to run your air conditioning ! Read the specs and inform yourself before purchase.

For whatever it's worth, I was a mechanic on aircrafts for 10 years, and after that a general contractor for 25 years. And I use only professional tools.
