Good reply.
On a side note. Whatever generator you get buy lots of oil. Plan on changing the oil once a week. The Oil in air cooled engines acts like a coolant not just a lubricant. Also like the poster said propane has less energy and you will use more fuel and it also makes the generator run hotter without the added benefit of gasoline acting like a lubricant. This makes oil changes even more important.
That was helpful
I did the comparison and the Duromax seems better at almost the same price, only downside is it's bigger/heavier. So not sure why everyone is so interested in this champion 100520? Maybe someone can enlighten me
One thing to consider is that the Champion generators all come with a 3 year warranty. Most other brands come with a 1 year warranty max, some are actually only 90 days.
& yes as others said, the Champion is an inverter type generator, which has a couple benefits.
- can run in Eco mode, which throttles the engine up & down based on current load. This can save fuel vs a traditional generator that runs at 100% regardless of load.
- should be safer for modern electronics (clean sine wave power). Traditional generators usually provide dirty power.
- should be quieter than a traditional generator by design, plus when there is less load the engine will throttle down which helps the noise level a lot
But the con with inverter generators is that they are usually more expensive & provide lower capacity per dollar. For example, getting close to 10k starting watts on an inverter typically pushes you up to the $2,000 price range. This 8750 almost gets there for $600-700 for this sale, which is rare.
The generator bible tool will let you compare traditional generators & inverter generators, but I would almost not even compare them & decide which type you want first, then only do comparisons of the same type.
Gavin's Garage is a decent YouTube channel to check out if you want to dive further down this rabbit hole. There are a ton of things to consider before you buy.
Tried to set up my free trial account (never have had one before) and attempt after attempt after attempt to log in, and was locked out of my account.
Called customer service and they said it was an "administrative" lock, and to check back today.
Checked back today, and the deal is gone.
Guess who won't being using prime anymore, lol?

I appreciate the thought but I'll wait for the next deal to roll around.
Don't have time for these issues.
(also says the item is oos). And I'm sure they are out. Those were darn good prices.
If it helps I have never found any use for remote electric start. Loads need to be manually disconnected before starting or shut down to prevent generator and device damage.
Electric start isn't needed on engines under 385 cc and you won't find it on commercial gensets in this power range. Dual fuel won't work in cold weather from a BBQ cylinder. For NG the gasoline rating should be at least 8kw running watts.
If only a fridge electronics and a few lamps are needed then it is super-inexpensive to run a romex cable to a generator-only outlet in one or two rooms. This way an outdoor inlet can be installed without any interlock or connection to the house wiring, No connection to the house wiring is required and a 2500 watt hand carrry onverter can be used which is far more fuel efficient and much quieter.

I'd post the deal but I don't know how.
I posted the deal, only without a pic.
