Champion 3,650 vs 3,500

I see where Tractor Supply is now selling a Champion 3650/4500 watt generator instead of the 3500/4000 model. Slightly larger engine. Any thoughts or experience with the larger model? I wonder if the larger motor would be harder to start, for instance.

    The newer model is too noisy? Or are you simply saying that all generators are too noisy? I am looking for a comparison between two models, not a comparison between silent solar and any generator. We all get that "Silence is golden" thing.
  • That's the first I've seen of it. My 3500/4000 is on the ragged edge at times up where we camp, a few extra watts would be welcome.
  • Yes, they are both pull start. I thought someone on here might have done a comparison.
