Anyone own a Champion Generator?
For anyone who owns this brand how about a review? I know they are louder than the Honda's, but how about reliability? (That would be my main concern.)

Evidently you know very little about the yellow Champion generators, they are no where near as loud as the commercial construction site type generators....But believe what you want to believe...it appears those that own these generators are below the elitist that look down their noses at those of us who own one...I'd know the product before I would comment on it. I know the Yamaha's and Honda's...Very, Very good generators and very quiet...can't say anything bad about them...just more expensive...so when looking for a standby generator for home or camp IF there is a power outage, (I don't boon dock)....then I'd get a Champion. IF I were going to boon dock and use the generator more often than not...I'd recommend a Honda or Yamaha and a few others out there, Onan and so on, BUT as standby power, Easily a champion is better and much quieter than the generator you're recommending for a construction site....sorry I offend you by not having purchased a higher end generator...It appears in some of the threads on these generators we have a whole new class of campers coming out that seem to think they're better than others.
sad, really sad...
That elitist term gets thrown around a lot. By the way Joe Flacco is now an Elite QB:B
Back on topic. If you are getting a genset for camping. I believe it should be as quiet as possible which equates to an inverter type.
I agree a Champion is a decent product I question if it is suitable for camping use around others.
Ultimately the louder genset has the potential to disturb others. Keeping the peace and quiet is a bigger priority for me than saving $$.
The true elitist feel any genset including inverter types disturb the camping peace. I'll settle in the middle as I believe gensets are OK but you should use the quietest technology available if you are in ear shot of others.
Champions are a viable alternative to the red and blue as long we are talking the inverter quiet type of genset and not the standard open frame style.
Go Ravens !!!
