Wow, edgy comment.
No, your statement is not true. I'm pretty sure they're not going to ban natural gas anytime soon. Besides the fact that a good portion of the country heats their homes with it, the country produces somewhere around 38% of its electricity with it. My utility ran new gas lines in an 80+ year old neighborhood two years ago, pretty sure they're confident in getting a return on that investment. As for gasoline, the automobile market is turning toward electrification, this is true. What's not true is gasoline being banned. Besides the installed base of ICE cars that will last for at least two more decades; boats, snowmobiles, lawn equipment, propeller aircraft, etc., etc. all still have an installed base that require gasoline for the foreseeable future. As far as I can tell, you can't run this generator on wood and the washing machine remark is kinda outta left field. Finally, you didn't mention propane, so I will, also not going anywhere anytime soon, with its installed base of forklifts, construction equipment, rural home heat, bbq grills, portable heaters and on and on. Do continue to live scared of minor, incremental progress in the world's fuel use though.
How is that a weakness...it's an 8000W generator, you can't get 50A from an 8000 running watts generator at 220V...basically Ohms law. You would need an 11000 running watts generator to get 50A.

Quote from edrock200 :
Just curious if anyone knows the answer, why is NG and LP always rated lower than traditional gas? If it's weaker combustion properties, wouldn't just an increase in pressure (e.g. more NG/LP pumped in) solve that? Just trying to wrap my head around it. If it's capable of higher wattage why is it limited when on NG/LP? Thanks in advance for any insight. I've always wanted to hook one up to my NG line for emergencies and have "unlimited fuel" but don't want to leave ~12+% capacity on the table.

It's simply the energy density and combustablity of the fuel. From weak to strong its ng

Quote from WittyHeart6941 :
Champion generators are horrible. Bought one a couple weeks ago. Out of the box, nothing worked. Brand new 200 pound hunk of metal that ate my propane trying to start it and is a useless reservoir for a couple gallons on gas. Those red plastic gas tanks are a better, more economical buy. Returned to the store and technician says the shop is filled with these things. 50% chance they work, most times it requires in depth troubleshooting to fix. Tech works on these all day long. Go with a more reliable brand.
Buddy of mine works where they sell generators and said once that 50% of returns he's seen for a generator not starting: customer didn't fill it with oil. Some opened to check and felt oil, but the manufacturer will remove the oil (and gas) after testing to prepare for shipping. The other half...the battery died. Just curious if you checked otherwise just bad luck.

Pro-Tip: for anyone using generators with an inlet only, and don't plan to power anything directly off the generator or have a automatic transfer switch, be sure to disconnect the ground connected (called "bonded") from the frame as your fuse box will already have it grounded.

Making up statements and presenting them as fact isn't doing you any favors. Front load washing machines clean just as well and are not as destructive to clothing as a top load washing machine and they use a third of the water.

You all need to get over this ignorance and move on with the times. Also natural has stoves are the least efficient form of cooking and the vast majority of people don't have their kitchen's ventilated properly to use gas in the first place which is dangerous. Induction is amazing and is the future. Gas cooking is a complete waste of money except for a few particular types of cooking.
I get the arguments about induction, a relatively new stove type, possibly being superior in the long run. But if you thought that many people preferred natural gas stoves over electric coil stoves for decades because they thought natural gas was more efficient, had nothing to do with it.... plus the amount of natural gas used each month for cooking is pretty much nothing compared to the gas water heater and furnace, basically the cost of fuel used for cooking is minimal

I won't buy a Champion again. My folks live in a rural area at the end of the power grid so they lost power frequently so they are frequent generator users. The voltage regulator went on their Champion generator and blew out light bulbs, melted power strips, and damn near caused a fire. The electrician came to look at it and he said it was putting out too high a voltage because the regulator went bad. Expensive fixes and went with a Generac as a replacement.

I've been watching this for months and it finally went on sale. Tri-fuel uses natural gas, propane, or gasoline. This is consistently the highest rated unit of this type. Sold by Amazon. Currently $1250 at Home Depot & Lowes, this is a great price. No code needed.

Oh ya, I'm quite handy so was not happy when I tried everything possible. Even went to the service bulletin to look for ideas. Following the instructions, these will tell you to fill the oil as one of the initial steps. They provide the oil with the packaging. The technician tried everything they could. Maybe just bad luck but many other reliable brands out there at a similar price point.

Thanks for posting, been looking to buy this model as running off NG here in MI is a game changer as I (theoretically) have unlimited natural gas. In speaking with my electrician, this will comfortably run our entire house.

You're welcome. Mine arrives Tuesday.

Correct. But often times people who use slick deals share close alternatives in features and price as alteratives. Sometimes at feature increase or decrease, sometimes in price point increase or decrease. In this case, it's a similar priced, similar feature generator (yes minus one fuel source) that offers a bit more power at at about the same price. No reason to insult people who are just adding to the community. I'm sorry my close alternative upset you

Thanks for the posting! I ordered this from Home Depot 3 weeks for $1250, received it 1.5 weeks ago and price matched this for $1061. At first when I called HomeDepot.com they said they didn't pricematch Amazon or Walmart as it was shipped and I asked how was different then when I ordered and had it shipped from HomeDepot? Asked for a supervisor and got it price matched. Hooked it up to NG this past weekend for the 5hr break it so I could change the oil for next operation. This generator worked like a "Champ"! Used a coworker's generator which I greatly appreciated but won't miss lugging around and feeding it gasoline. Also won't need to winterize the gas etc.

I'm sorry I can't tell if you're just messing with me or not. I shared a product that is similar as I previously mentioned as most people on this website do. Sometimes with features +/- in a similar price point. In this case, we have a 8k watt tri fuel generator and I shared an 10k watt dual fuel. Some people may want to consider a slightly more powerful generator at the cost of one fuel source. I'm not really sure how to explain this any further. I hope this helps you understand. Maybe think of it like someone looking at a Ford f150 and someone saying, hey consider the silverado 1500?
