Any one have the Champion 3500 watt inverter generator?

Hi all,

Some not so nice persons cut the cable to the Yamaha 3000 sIEB generator and took it.

Has anyone used the Champion 3500 watt inverter generator with remote start? I'd be interested in knowing whether it has been reliable.

  • We purchased the 3500 watt inverter/generator in June. About 110 hours. Used mainly for AC works nice no problems. Will run everything except micro and AC at the same time. Got ours at CW for less than 1K while on sale. Has remote start. Ordered hour meter from SuperGen for $17.00. Simple hook up to spark plug wire.
  • Mine is going on a little over 300 hours of trouble free service except for 1 time when I used it for 3 days on a Texan beach. I run my air conditioner almost every time I use it.
  • We have the pull start model here as well. Sitting at just about 50-70 hrs and doing fine. Costco runs pretty good deals on these periodically.
  • Good friend of mine has 2. He parallels them to run his mobile cook / smoker rig. Loves it. No complaints. Runs A/C, refrigerator and warming rack.
