Champion Dual Fuel Inverter Models Compare

I've been looking at upgrading from the super reliable extended run version of my Champion 3100 Inverter to one of the newer Dual Fuel models. I've watched, I think, all the YouTube videos on those models. For awhile it was confusing to me as to what exactly is the difference between the three models that Champion sells. The best source of info is of course Champions own website. You have to look at their compare tool and also the front page spec summary to get all the data. Then you end up trying to tie down what exactly is the same and what's different. Somethings are obvious others aren't. Which brings us to the attached table I built. It has all the data restructured from the Champion site plus I added a couple of lines based on info I learned from actual users and youtubes.

Hope you and others find this useful.

  • Thank you, this is very helpful. I have been looking for a quieter generator to replace our open frame champion lp burner. I found a 700/900w lp powered ryobi that would work for recharging. Also, a sportsman 2000w lp powered unit. They have both at Home Depot.
  • I would guess because everything is in a tight confined space with poor ventilation, there is more chance of fumes causing an explosion.
  • Must be because it's portable? A standby generator installed at a house or business has no trouble starting or stopping while using propane.

    I asked Champion once awhile back and as I recall they said it was a safety issue that couldn't be overcome.
