This is the CHAMPION DIGITAL HYBRID GENERATOR the OP asked about.

Due to its open frame, this one will be louder than typical inverter generators.

There are literally thousands of inverter generator threads here.
There are many affordable inverter generators out there. Champion is the clear competitor to H&Y.

Please educate yourself about decibel levels.

I'm quite familiar with the decibel level of various generators.

I only posted this because the OP asked for opinions on the Champion Digital Hybrid.

gbopp, sorry.
My statement was meant for the OP.

what is the advantage of a hybrid? I have the 3500 remote start inverter, its a few more dollars but a nice gen. its the same as the 3100 only more power.

Great info, thanks for sharing. Only wish they had the Champion Dual Fuel included

I don't own one (yet) but, I wouldn't hesitate to buy any Champion generator.
The digital hybrid is probably not as quiet as an inverter generator.
Where do you plan to use it? That should be part of your research.

Welcome to the forum. :C

Mostly the use is the same as my Honda EU2000i, to charge batteries if too many gray days or shade limiting our solar. I’ve considered adding another to parallel with it for the time when we may want to run the 15k AC. The Champion Duel Fuel is a nice option to keep from having to haul along gasoline even though on Propane there is some output loss.

Thank you all for the input, I think I'm going with the champion digital hybrid coupled with an air cooled sound absorbing enclosure I'm going to make.

you'll probably end up spending the same amount of money, as just buying a Champion 3100w inverter generator in the first place.:R

there is no doubt the honda eu30000
is good generator and quieter than the champ

it is also 3x the price, he did say money was a concern

Well, if the OP has a towable RV being pulled by a pickup truck ... and depending upon one's definition of "portable" ... this generator is probably the quietest in the world for camping and delivering a steady 700 watts (1/4 of it's rated 2800 watt output) at 50 dB(A). And due to it's maximum output capability of 3000 watts, it can of course also power a stock 13.5K BTU RV air conditioner at any reasonable high altitude:

That is NOT a lightweight unit ! Can you handle loading and unloading it ? Also, your quiet box will need a LOT of ventilation to prevent the unit from over heating. Heat from the exhaust can melt foam !
