              Great product
              This generator is just as advertised. The weight, size, noise level makes this perfect for tailgating. I will update further in the season.

                Excellent inverter
                This is a very nice inverter, I did the break-in as required. I also added an hour meter to be sure. I thought it was a very fair price & I did plenty of research on many sites. It starts right up and runs very smooth & quiet. I'm very happy with my purchase

                  Perfect for all around use
                  Initially bought two and a parallel kit to run my camper. Ran all night super quiet and sips fuel. I plan to store and keep it at the ready for when the power goes out.

                    Excellent Inverter generator
                    I recently purchased the Champion 2500 watt inverter generator. This unit is quiet and has 1800 continuous watts of power. This is my second Champion product. Both units are excellent in operation and are available at a reasonable price.

                      Quiet yet powerful
                      Great unit. Quiet, powerful and easy to handle. It's so light weight. Easy to load up in your truck or RV. This unit powers everything in my travel trailer except the 13,500 BTU roof AC and microwave. I am purchasing an additional unit and parallel kit so the two can run my AC and microwave with ease. With it's quiet running engine I can recharge my trailer's batteries during the day and not disturb others around me. Easy starting and the fuel shut off will save tons of maintenence.

                        Champion 2500w
                        I bought this champion 2500watt inverter generator and it's the 1st Champion product I ever purchased. I have always purchase the Honda generators. Although the Honda's are a great product I really loved the Champion products for it's quietness, weight, noise level, price and ease of use. It started on the 1st pull, very quiet and light weight, I could life it with one hand and set inside the car front seat floor. I will buy another soon so I can double my power.

                                  I would by again. But not a fan of the air intake design.
                                  After the first use. I pulled the air filter to change the oil and found sand on the carb side of the filter. How much sand went thru the motor? What is the long term health of the motor. On a positive note I like how quit it is.

                                  Absolutely love my champion generators. I own two that I can parallel for 50amps of power to run breakers in my home during power outages. Highly recommend.

                                  Great little generator! Saved my hide during freak storm!
                                  I purchased this inverter generator because I wanted a portable generator that I could take anywhere, or use for emergencies in case the grid went down. I liked the features, and bought this noodle l model with part of the economic stimulus money I got from the government. So glad that I bought this when I did. We just had a huge polar vortex record breaking snow/ice storm that hit Texas hard! Our power went out, along with hundreds of thousands of others as temperatures dropped into single digits. With no power and no water on our house, we fired this up, after having already broke it in after initially receiving it just a few weeks prior. While I wouldn't recommend this for home use, it held its own and put out plenty of power to run what we needed. We were able to cook, use the toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, router/modem, tv, video game console, powered a lot of our devices. Just have to make sure you keep up with the wattage so you're not overloading the generator. I kept it on eco mode most of the time, and I love how it reduces fuel consumption when you don't need to be running at full power. The one gallon tank is a little small, but this is a portable generator. The consumption is really not bad when you think about it. We sat in our bedroom, warm, watching TV and playing video games with internet access and some creature comforts when the power was out and we couldn't leave the house. This little thing saved our butts. I'm going to buy a larger generator for future emergencies, but keeping this one on hand just because it's so awesome and portable. I would definitely recommend this generator for those considering it. The parallel option is also very nice. Haven't had the chance to try it, but I like that it's possible to combine two units to produce 30 amps.

                                    This is a great generator. It started on the first pull out of the box and every time since. It is a really quiet generator and works great for refrigerators and lights. It does not surge. I also use it to charge phones.

                                      Absolutely Perfect!!!
                                      My wife and I bought a 2018 Winnebago 2455BHS Travel Trailer...with an optional outdoor kitchen. The kitchen part was fine...but for us...the little electric refrigerator was a waste of space. Remove the refrigerator, buy a Champion 2500W Inverter Generator to fill the new space, and now we have something that will be useful for years to come. I conducted the initial "out of the box prep"...and started it right up. Oh My Goodness!!!!! that thing is QUIET!!!! I can't wait for the 2021 camping season to start...to take advantage of our new toy!!! I actually have three generators...a BIG one for the house...a medium one for portability...and the new "Absolutely Perfect Champion" to keep onboard the trailer to use whenever it is necessary. I am very impressed and feel the extra bit of wattage will allow it to do things some of the other brands won't.

                                        My best generator yet
                                        This my fifth generator of my own in my lifetime and my best and quietest generator yet. Powers tools and electronics great with little noise at all. My 24 inch work fan that I use in the summer is louder than the generator is. I bought this unit to replace a 5 year old 1500/1200 watt champion generator that is still running great but it has about 500 hours of use on it and it was time to upgrade. Out of my 5 generators this is my 3rd champion generator in a row and I just order my champion generator that will be used for home use. I can say this brand of generator is the best in my opinion.

                                          Great Little Power Machine
                                          I purchased this product for multiple uses (farmers' market and camping) and have used it for both recently after purchasing. We needed a small portable generator for powering two chest freezers for farmer's markets 1-2 times per week and also wanted a small generator for camping (Tents, not RV). The day I received this inverter generator I opened it up, added oil, fuel and it started right up. Brought it to the farmers' market that day to power two chest freezers for several hours. Previously we were using a large cumbersome and loud generator for this purpose and the Champion Inverter is a much better choice for this application. It handles powering the two freezers, is easy to carry around and sips the fuel. This unit is also very quiet when not under a heavy load which is important at a farmers' market. I actually had it directly next to another name brand inverter generator of similar power output that is known for being very quiet, however about twice the price, and the Champion 2500 Inverter was comparable in sound level. It is maybe a couple decibels more. About a week after purchasing I brought it camping and used it to power some festoon lighting that I hung in the trees, charge phones & laptop and power a 12 cup coffee maker. I had the generator about 30ft from the site and found the sound to be quiet enough to relax and couldn't even hear it when listening to music. I previously used other methods of making coffee in the woods and having a proper coffee maker in the morning was definitely a treat. I originally was going to purchase the other Champion Inverter 2500W (model# 10889), however found this model (#200950) and chose this because of the USB outlets, vs. the 12V automotive outlet on the other one. The color scheme (yellow & black) is also inverted on these two models. I have also purchased the Champion open frame inverter 8750W for home backup that I just received today. After using I will add a review for it.

                                            Two Thumbs Up on this Generator
                                            I purchased this generator as a smaller replacement for a Champion 2800W/3200W generator. I loved the old generator but it is overkill for powering my 17' Casita travel trailer. This little guy is a power house and at only 40lbs, it is the perfect size for my application. It powers all of my appliances including a Coleman Polar Cub A/C drawing 1K-1.2K watts, a induction burner, and an 1800W Breville Smart Oven. With the eco mode on it will rev up to meet power demand and then soften back into eco mode when the appliance is no longer in use. So far I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it for those looking to power a small RV.

                                                I researched hundreds of portable inverter generators over the past few months looking for an ideal one to provide emergency backup power for several household items during the upcoming hurricane season. With four children in the house, all I was looking for was enough power to run the fridge, a lamp or two, and charge electronic equipment. I kept coming back to this generator and finally decided to purchase it. I followed the quick start set up page, gave it half a pull and it started beautifully. Quiet enough not to bother close proximity NYC neighbors and enough juice to power the items I was hoping for, Highly recommend this generator
