PRODUCT DETAILS
Powerful and portable, the Champion 5,500W/4,000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator with Electric Start delivers safe, reliable energy for your RV, campsite, pole barn, worksite, or wherever it's needed. EPA certified, this generator runs on gas or propane right out of the box without a lot of hassle thanks to its easy-to-use fuel selector dial. Designed for safety and convenience, this portable, electric-start power supply delivers 5,500 starting watts and 4,000 running watts of power. Powered by a 224cc Champion engine, this generator delivers power for up to 20 running hours at 25% load on gasoline when the 3.7-gallon fuel tank is full. With a full 20-lb. propane tank, this generator delivers 5,500 starting watts and runs for 15 hours at 25% load. This clean power generator (less than 3% THD) protects sensitive appliances plugged into the generator, while its quiet design produces just 61dB from 23' away, making it a great choice for campsites. Power outlets include a 120V 30A RV outlet, four 120V 20A household outlets with clean power, and one 12V automotive-style power outlet. The Intelligauge® with power meter lets you easily monitor voltage, frequency, and operating hours with ease. The generator's electric-start capability and EZ Start Dial simplify startups. Economy Mode monitors power consumption in real time to reduce wear and tear. With a Champion parallel kit, (not included) this inverter can connect with another similar generator to double your output power. The Fuel Fill Assist LED and Quick Touch Panel with built in LEDs make using and refueling your generator at night easy and safe. Never flat tires and telescoping handle make transport quick and easy. Weight: 118 lbs. 24.6"L x 19"W x 20.9"H. Manufacturer's 3-year limited warranty.

This was the biggest propane inverter generator I could find. (3600 watts RMS) It allows me to run sensitive electronics and not have to deal with gasoline storage/maintenance problems.
Liquid propane doesn't go bad like gasoline and you won't have to deal with smelly fumes when you spill gasoline trying refill your generator.
The best part is being able to store this long term and bring it out for emergency use.
I plan to order a battery tender and leave the battery plugged in so the electric start will be ready to go.
CONS:
Questionable build quality and 40 min wait for customer service . my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N6ZCoZ
I just received mine 2 days ago and some of the plastic panels were defective. Please make sure to inspect the generator for any damage right when you receive it. I had to call support so they could ship a replacement panel to me.
Some users mentioned this not being a slick deal, and I agree. However, I rather pay a little more now and have the convenience of being ready for a black out. I kept holding off trying to save a few hundred dollars, then when the Texas storm came I really regret not pulling the trigger.
Lastly, This is a 120v generator, so you will not be able to connect this to a transfer switch directly to your home.

Except, one has east return and the other is a ripoff

Less 1000w peak power, less 2 outlets (120v), less 2 LED lights, but otherwise the 4500 watt dual fuel would be the better deal.
Gotcha, but is the close one quiet enough for camping? Am just after the clean power so I dont have to think about plugging in my mining rig and other electronic stuff when the power goes down.
Champion makes high quality products and has for many many years. and they have authorized service and repair within a reasonable drive of most in the US.
now with that said...are Predator inverter generators crap? no. my friend who does drain cleaning and has a predator 2000W and has many many hours on it, using it extensively. it keeps on ticking, and not a single issue. but he realizes it is basically a throw-away

they have several champions here. Some a bit cheaper.
I got my WEN 56380i for $600 and they didn't charge me tax. I really don't think this is slick.

Great assessment. I would suspect inverter generators don't tend to be 240v, making them less useful for whole house use as you stated.
