Just completed the break-in period and so far the unit is operating perfectly kzread.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y . I was amazed by just how quiet this little guy is. I kept having to walk down the driveway to the generator to make sure it was still running. In fact, the most annoying noise coming from the set-up is a high-pitched chirping coming from the pressure regulator on the propane line. I suppose it's possible my other propane-powered generator's pressure regulator is making the same noise, but the generator itself is so loud I've never noticed it. Build quality so far is excellent. My only nit is the service panel is a little tricky to remove. I feel like I might break off one of the plastic tabs when bending it back. I probably just need to work out the technique, so will not hold it against Champion.Next week I intend to fully load the unit to charge a large battery pack and will update this review if there's any problem (3000W continuous load vs a rated 3100W capacity while using propane). Absent any trouble there, I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.

My champion 5500 was delivered today. In about 20 minutes I had it running and starting the 5-Hour break-in. This is one very nice generator. It will be perfect for what I needed to do

Another OUTSTANDING video Sir, I thank you for Time and Effort!!!!!!

Gavin, thank you for this review. After watching this, I purchased this exact unit from Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine, TX. This product works great and is super easy to operate. I really like the full-size maintenance panel on the backside of the unit. You turn 2 90° speed nuts, and the panel lifts out, no screwdriver necessary. I have been running mine on propane only up to now, but I will eventually get some gasoline into the mix as well. Thanks again, you're a difference maker with what you do!!!

This particular generators start procedure is super easy. Hook up the propane tank and open the valve. Turn the generator dial to the propane choke setting. Push the start button and listen for the engine trying to ignite. (this takes about 2 seconds). Turn the dial to propane start. Push the starter button, and the unit fires up immediately. Just that simple, and it happens every time!

Just a heads up for everyone. I bought one of these brand new in January of 2022. Did all the oil changes, checked and cleaned the air filter etc at the correct times. In the last month it started running rough/surging and suddenly it couldn't handle the previous load I'd run on it. Did a oil change, checked the air filter (clean) and put a new spark plug in. It'd either surge really low and struggle to stay running or die. I had it running today powering about 350 watts worth of lights in a trailer and while I was away it apparently died. Generator will no longer start at all. I know guys who run generators and never change the oil or rarely and they stay going for years. Just a heads up to anyone looking at this unit. Hopefully, Champion will stand behind their product and make it right. I noticed most of the reviews are right when a person buys the unit new and no one is giving updates down the road for long term reliability.

All of the inverter generators do. Eco mode is not possible on a conventional generator of any brand, because engine rpm determines the AC frequency... therefore the engine MUST run at 3600rpm to have the correct AC frequency.

Huh, rated at 5500/4000 watts but it went into overload before that. The Westinghouse 4500 was able to power more than that. Do you think its performance is due to the RV plug since its rated less than the overall machine (30A plug)? Maybe running the RV plug and a standard plug at the same time, would get the 4000watts? It shut off around 3500 watts. In any case, it looks like the Westinghouse, eventhough rated less, can power more....at least from that one plug.

Thank you Gavin , from your research do you know if the censor CO2 shut off could be a problem longterm..apparently those censors have limited life span and can make the generator stop often..read that from a user of the same generator.

I need buy one

Pretty quiet for such a large generator

Gaven, trying to decide between this champion and Westinghouse 4500df. I have 50amp Fifth wheel with soft starts on both AC’s. Looking for quite, weight and power both AC’s and couple tv’s and lights and water pump. Everything else on propane. Which would be your recommendation?

They’re both dual fuel the champion handles the two AC and refrigerator and couple other appliances Westinghouse gives you remote start Great Generators both have a three-year warranty I’m going to do a test on the Westinghouse dual fuel 4500 Then you can see exactly which one you want

Thanks for reply. Looking to purchase in next day or 2. Is there a significant difference in weight or noise? I will have to load in truck or camper.

@@michaeljay6271 There is a visual size difference the champion is larger and wider when it comes to sound I think the champion is quieter, If I was the one buying and I had to make a decision based on those two I would go with the champion especially with the LED lighting for night time and the extra wattage If you think you’re gonna be using the remote start then consider the champion they’re both awesome choices

Is it safe to add 3 gallons of gas in the generator while it's running so I don't have to turn the generator back on ?

No they recommend turning the generator off when refueling

You take the noise on the opposite side of the muffler...so taking the noise front of the muffler or on the front of the machine will give you the average real noise level....Of course taking the level on the opposite side will give you a lower noise level...

I really want one of these but can't find them available anywhere!

Just keep checking especially at night when they update their website and buy it on the spot

I can’t find this generator anywhere for sale. Not even listed on their own website. Where did you get yours?!

They were available last week but quickly sold out! You gotta just keep checking bass pro shop and Cabela’s .

Do you have an Amazon (or other) link to this Generator and a discount code? Good genny video reviews.

Yes its all included in the box

Dont kill me if this question sounds dumb, why would anyone go with any other inverter besides this one in terms of price. And its give of way more wattage. Im purchusing a 2021 38dbq 5th wheel, would this generator do the work i need it to? Yes its 50amp hook up.

Yep! I think it’s able to get the job done. Just plan on installing soft starts on your AC it help the Generator and also helps the ac compressor

I agree this unit is has good features/value and price per watt is low. I think the main reason is not as popular is: its new, its only available at Bass Pro Shop and Cabela's ( as far as I know) and Bass Pro and Cabela's as been out of stock most the time.

Just purchased one this champion generators and the plugs are reading open ground. Have you check yours to what the reading is?

That’s normal with all generators if you’re trying to use a surge protector you need to use a bonding plug
