About This Product

The Champion Power Equipment 201281 7500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator with CO Shield is the perfect combination of versatility and convenience. Designed with a low oil shut-off switch, this unit includes 1.2 Qt. of 10-Watt-30 oil. Using gasoline, the 439cc Champion engine produces 9375 starting watts and 7500 running watts and will run for 10-hours at 50% load when the 7.7-gallon fuel tank is full. It produces 8400 starting watts and 6750 running watts and will run for 5.5-hours at 50% load when using a 20 lbs. propane tank. Plenty of outlets are available, with a 120-Volt 30A locking outlet (L5-30R), a 120-Volt/240-Volt 30A locking outlet (L14-30R) as well as two 120-Volt 20A GFCI protected household duplex outlets (5-20R). CO Shield technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Meets the requirements of ANSI/PGMA G300-2018.

          Should’ve bought it sooner
          I purchased this a few days ago after my region was hit by a bad storm. Setup and starting is so easy. It’s powering most of my house now. I wish I would’ve bought one years ago!

            Excellent
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “Excellent generator. Strong power output, starts easily with the electric start, and keeps everything running smoothly without fluctuation. I’ve used it at home and on job sites, and it handles heavy loads very well. Highly recommend.”

              Great feature, simple running
              We purchased this when the electric went out due to the winter ice storm. The simplicity of operation made it easy enough that my wife was comfortable with using it. The runtime was great we chose to run with gasoline but love the flexibility of the duel fuel. I felt safe knowing that my families needs was still being met while we were without electricity.

                    Great looking and easy to use generator
                    The 201277 generator quickly started after adding oil and gas. Push button start made it easy to turn. on. The reason I selected this unit is because of dual fuel capability, Lastly the digital display made it easy to determine generator loading.

                        Flawless Generator
                        We bought this generator a few weeks ago after another brand quit on us. We used it all weekend to run a camper and worked flawless. It is a little louder then the othwe model but this one is top notch.

                            Awesome Generator
                            I purchased this on day 4 of an 8 day power outage. It ran for 4 days and never dripped oil or needed oil added. The generator works as it should, runs for the time it says and instantly starts every-time. I’m glad to have chosen this model and hiring an electrician to provide a whole house receptacle.
