Hey guys,


One more time, I want to clarify that this is not a Chinese generator in the strictest sense. Champion is a US company, with local engineering, QC, and tech support. They own the factory in China, as opposed to contracting with a factory. In other words, the only thing "Chinese" about this generator is the actual assembly labor. Once again, no, I do not work for them. I just feel compelled to clear up the misconception.

I am thrilled with this thing. So many features for so cheap. You gotta love it!

Joel - I think you're referring to this paragraph from "Tony F".
There's a misconception in the misconception, in re:
"In other words, the only thing Chinese about this generator is the actual assembly labor".

You covered the "naming" or "badging" procedure well. The Prof has covered the "how to become a generator supplier" way back when.
Any one of us can/could order one or several containers of generators and sell them on E-bay (or) until the supply ran out.
Calling them (badging as) a "Joel" would work - however "Old & Slow" probably might inhibit sales, LOL!

I have a friend who owns the Pogo Stick company (not the ones you remember as a kid, LOL) featured on Letterman (jumped over the NY Taxi Cab). He made a few trips to China to look into mfg there. An interesting story was the size of the manufacturer's (of and for everything) display "arena". Said it would dwarf anything Vegas (or?) had to offer.

I looked at the review(s) on the Costco ratings.
I don't think mrfixit meant it was *you* that posted - simply that *another buyer* had a similar problem (he was in TX).

JC,

I always love to see a post by the 'ol Bombero' just makes my day. I remember when you got out the mignifying glass to search the posted ad featuring a 'rebadged BLUE Champion'? to see if there really was a Champion label, I think, on the engine. I even smile about that now, as I sit here.

And 'OLD & SLOW' inhibiting sales? Hey, I'm a card carrying CCC as in Champion Cheering Crowd. Glad to see JC, now ownes a Yellow and Black (it is yellow and black, right?) Champion. See, you bought the story of Champion (CPE) being a real value.:D Wise man.

PS: Good value but vary noisy. Been working three years in the Yellow and Black shop to lower the noise.
