I hear ya'. Have had a champ 2000i for several years and never have had a problem. Just scored a second one this weekend at a local big-box store for $300, along with a parallel kit for $60. So, with the cost of the first unit at $425, my math tells me I have an all-n cost of $785 which is a heck of a lot less than the cost of a single red. I suppose there may be a good argument for paying a 30% premium for red, but when you're talking double the cost, I have a hard time parting with the $$$'s.
I'm sure happy to hear the "common sense" in this thread.
What big box store did you find it at ? Was it a return, close out or other?
Honda rated at 59 dB(A) @ rated load 53 dB(A) @ 1/4 load. 2000 / 1600
Appears that the Champion is the same, a couple pounds heavier & 2000/ 1700
I ran across it quite by chance at Menards. It was an open box item, possibly returned as it was already filled with oil with the spark plug installed. Exercised them both this afternoon while winterizing the rig. Worked fine. We're getting set to retire next spring and figure it might come in handy when we head out for months at a time. While we usually spend our time at W & E sites, this will definitely open the door for some boondocking down the road.
