Champion portable generators will output an industry standard total harmonic distortion (THD) rating of about 12%-20% depending on load applied. They will produce a sine wave, not a modified or square wave. This is perfectly acceptable for running common commodities found in your home such as TVs, computers, your appliances, etc.
THD is a measure of the deviation of a sine wave from a "perfect" sine wave. All electricity, including line electricity, has measurable THD.
If you have a specific item that requires less than 5% THD such as a UPS style battery backup, a pellet stove, or high efficiency furnace control board, we recommend purchasing a Champion Inverter Generator.
I'm beginning to wonder as well. My Duromax 10000 watt generator wouldn't even run my coffee maker. I had to use my 1600 watt inverter to get it to run. It also won't charge the UPS. I would have never thought a coffee maker would be sensitive to generators.
I need to replace that garbage Duromax with a Generac non inverter thats <5% THD.

The duromax even runs my 92% efficient variable speed Trane furnaces. They must be more forgiving that you think.
