Champion 4000 Watt Digital Hybrid

This is the largest inverter that Champion has put out on the market and it is surprisingly very affordable, within the same price range as a conventional portable generator. The dimensions are much larger than the common inverter sizes but you get the benefit of being much lighter than a conventional portable generator with the same output thanks to its open frame design.

Champion calls this series a Digital Hybrid which refers to being quieter, lighter and having advanced fuel efficiency which gives it an incredibly long run time of up to 17 hours. This is also an version with parallel capabilities and you can connect any same brand generator with a capacity of at least 2800 running watts.

Overall, this is one of the best options from this brand showcasing their attention to advanced technology and portability.

Pros and Cons

Champion 3100 Watt Inverter

Hidden inside this compact design is a 1.6 gallon fuel tank which is enough to power 8 hours of run time at a quarter load. It is heavier than most generators in the same output category but the double handles and tires keep it portable enough.

This is one of the simpler Champion models with only a manual recoil system and engine that runs on gasoline alone. However, it is a dependable and user-friendly design, as well, thanks to the fully assembled delivery and clear control panel.

Inverter generators are generally more expensive than conventional portable generators but this makes sense considering the technology. This is not the cheapest option either but it is one of the more powerful inverters on the market.

Pros and Cons

2,000 Watt Stackable Inverter

The coolest and most practical generator design is definitely the Champion 73536i stackable inverter. The box-like lightweight shape is perfect for storage and super handy to bring along on camping trips and other outdoor activities.

2000 watts is not exactly a powerhouse but if you are looking to charge sensitive electronics like a laptop, mobile phone or DSLR then the clean energy from this inverter is all you need. Or, connect a second Champion inverter since this is model has parallel capabilities so you can literally stack up on your electricity requirements.

Run time is quite good with over 9 hours at a quarter load which should be plenty to light up your camping area throughout the night. On top of that, for such an innovative inverter, the price tag is quite reasonable and worth it.

Pros and Cons

3400-Watt Dual Fuel RV Ready Portable Inverter Generator with Electric Start

As mentioned, Champion tries to push the envelope on what is possible with portable generators and this 3400 watt inverter is a good example of that. This version has an electric start (rare for smaller generators) and is a hybrid which means it can run on both gasoline and propane.

Depending on the area where you live, propane tends to be cheaper than gasoline which lowers the running cost of this model. In addition, propane is easier to store so you can keep a better fuel stock at home, in case of emergencies.

Another advantage of this model is the portable design with never-flat tires, two carrying handles and large space for the control panel. Also, it holds decent power for an inverter and is parallel capable which makes it a good option for tailgating.

Pros and Cons

3100-Watt Portable Inverter with Wireless Start

As an upgrade to 3100 watts version before comes an almost identical design and spec sheet but with the added ease of a wireless remote start. The package includes a key fob that lets you turn on the generator from a distance of up 80 feet away.

One difference is that this alternative is slightly heavier than the original, weighing about 13 pounds more but the handles and little wheels make sure that it is still suitable as a small portable generator.

Pros and Cons

7500 Watt Dual Fuel with Electric Start

This ready out of the box hybrid generator is one with one of the higher capacities that Champion produces. On gasoline, it has 9375 watts surge power and 7500 watts running power while on propane it has an output of 8400 surge watts and 6750 continuous power.

This is another example of a simple user-friendly design thanks to the straightforward control panel, portable design and electric starter switch. The control panel also sports an Intelligauge which shows hertz, run time and voltage for quick monitoring and as an indicator for when it is time for the next maintenance session.

Pros and Cons

3800 Watt Dual Fuel Portable with Electric Start

This rugged looking design is another hybrid with over 4000 watts surge power and 3800 watts and 3250 watts running power on gasoline and propane, respectively. This dependable model is a good choice as an emergency electricity source for powering the basic household essentials or for connecting power tools on a work site.

Another good use for this machine is on an RV. Simply connect it to a propane tank with the included hose and you got yourself enough power for the stove, lighting, fan and TV.

The run time in either fuel option is pretty good with a full tank of gasoline being enough for 9 hours and a 20 lbs. propane tank lasting 10.5 hours on a 50% load. This shows how fuel efficient the engine is which also means that your running costs are lower.

Pros and Cons

8000 Watt with Gasoline / Liquid Propane Engine

The biggest capacity comes from the 100297 model which reaches an impressive 10 kW of surge power and 8kW of continuous power. It is a good choice as a home backup generator for small households since most household appliances can run on it as long as you keep an eye on the load.

This is one of the heavier models because of the 6.1 gallon fuel tank and built-in battery for the electrical start so it is a good idea to add the wheel kit which features a foldable u-handle and never flat tires. The downside is that you would expect a longer run time from a generator of this size, on both types of fuel.

Also, the fact that there are 6 power outlets on the control panel suggest that you can connect all the devices that you need at once but you will do so at higher running costs because this is not a fuel-efficient engine.
