2500-Watt Ultralight Portable Inverter Generator with Quiet Technology and 3 Year Warranty

My wife uses this generator for an ice cream cart that she displays at outdoor events. It powered the large cart, a slushie machine and some electronics for almost eight hours. It's also relatively quiet especially when compared to a normal generator. It's not light but not too heavy for my petite wife to maneuver. It also starts easily which is a big plus.

Living off the grid in California, I've gone through my fair share of suitcase generators, but this one stands out for its quiet performance. Despite the challenge of sourcing generators from out of state, this one has proven to be a keeper. With over 20,000 hours of use annually, the generator's quieter operation is a welcomed change. However, I did notice a slight increase in exhaust smell compared to previous models. I usually house my generators in a small doghouse-like cover for protection from the elements. One issue I encountered was the carbon monoxide sensor triggering frequent shutdowns, posing a concern for winter use. Despite this setback, the generator has been reliable, allowing me to power through snow and rain without a hitch. Overall, apart from the minor exhaust smell and sensor issue, I've been impressed with its performance.

This Champion 2500W inverter generator is a game-changer! Incredibly lightweight yet powerful, it runs surprisingly quiet with CO Shield for safety. Perfect for camping or emergencies. Easy to use and highly efficient—exceeds expectations! A must-have for portable power.

so far this generator’s been really nice it’s quieter than most of the suitcase generators I’ve owned. I live off grid so I go through about one of these every year. I’m putting approximately 20,000+ hours on them and I live in California. We’re getting generators is harder and harder so I have to get them from out of state and bring them home two things I’ve noticed with this one even though it’s much quieter than the others. I do notice that there’s more exhaust smell than normal. I also keep these generators in a small doghouse type covering so I can keep them running during snow and rain. First problem I have was the carbon monoxide sensor kept shutting the generator off so I and rainwill have to figure out something else to do this winter with it that’s very annoying all the rest of our rain just fine in that box. Other than that I’ve had no problem so far and really like it. update. few months later so it’s now raining and starting to snow in my area with heavy winds. Has the wind swirl around and sometimes blow exhaust fumes backwards into the doghouse the generator shuts off. I have gone as far as to put an 8 inch duck fan blowing fresh air directly into the intake or front of the generator. This is helped unfortunately not a lot. My next step is to take this stupid generator apart to find the O2 sensor if it unplugged yay I’ll see if it starts and runs. If it doesn’t I’m going to put a cap on the end of the sensor and see if it runs. If neither solution works, it’s going in the trash. I’m done with this. I’m tired of it shutting off several times an hour because of this carbon monoxide safety sensor. This is the major issue with this generator. I wish it didn’t have it because otherwise it runs great works great again. The biggest downfall is carbon monoxide sensor Well, a few days later, I’ve done some research. Got a wiring diagram. Spent a day and a half disassembling the entire generator to find how where this carbon monoxide sensor is and how to defeat it. After disconnecting it, it has been running for two days with no shut offs finally so happy. So the procedure is very easy anyone can do this. Undo the too quick release knobs on the right side of the generator if it’s facing, you take this cover off. This is the same cover you would use to change the oil. There’s a grouping of wiring harness tapped up in the front corner with a tie wrap plastic wrap, cut that plastic tie wrap off gently pull out those wires look for a plug with two orange wires going in and coming out on each end of the plug disconnect this plug. This is the current power supply to the carbon monoxide sensor. It will no longer work. I have included videos with the generator running with his plug disconnected images of this plug and it disconnected also there is an image of the carbon monoxide sensor board and intake. I have not tried this, but I’m sure if he stuffed paper towel or plastic in that intake. It would defeat it too, but have not tried that so I can’t actually see if that works. So good luck with it so far I’ve had perfect results.

Many times, I’ve noticed a bit more exhaust smell than with older models, which is something to keep in mind if you place it in a small shelter. During winter, I worry about the carbon monoxide sensor shutting it off too often, but it still runs well through snow and rain. I’ve been pleased with how dependable it is overall. It has held up nicely in tough weather conditions. Just watch out for the smell and sensor quirks.

I bought this unit as an emergency generator. It run about 30 minutes and shut down. I tried running again and it run 30 minutes and then wouldn’t start again. I called champion support and they claimed the inverter needed to be reset they sent a video to dismantle the unit and change the inverter which I had no part to replace with after many calls finally got through and they said to take to a warranty dealer that was weeks ago I called serviceman and he said he thought the low oil sensor was malfunctioning. Ther serviceman said he did what champion told him to do to no avail and said he thought repair cost would be more than unit was worth More calls to champion and never got through after waiting hours on phone. I put a review on champions website and their response was tell the serviceman to change the oil. Why I should be involved with warranty repair is ridiculous. You can’t get through to champion support without waiting hours while their system plays marketing messages over and over. They have no callback service and they don’t respond to emails. This unit is defective. I’m ready to deny credit card charge and let Amazon and champion fight this out. Maybe at one time champion had good service but they sure don’t now. Buyer beware. Deeply regret buying this!

This Champion 2500W inverter generator is truly a game-changer! It impresses with its lightweight design and powerful performance, running quietly while ensuring safety with CO Shield. Ideal for camping or emergencies, it is easy to use, highly efficient, and consistently exceeds expectations. A must-have for anyone in need of reliable portable power.

Great portable generator, easy to carry, easy to start, low noise. Exactly as described. I live in Florida and we have hurricanes. I have 2 generators, this one is because it will run for about 10 hours on a gallon of gas and is very quiet. It is also great for camping. Well made for a good price.
