Ive owned 3 Champion generators and all have been reliable machines.
The 1st one I bought was a 3500/4000 open frame contractor style, I use it for home backup and construction projects at hunting camp. All ive ever done to it is change the oil. Ive had it close to 10 years. While not wisper quiet, it is noticably quieter than the 4400 Briggs/Homelite my grandfather had.
My 2nd was a 2000 inverter that I used with my first small travel trailer. It always started 1st or 2nd pull. It was very quiet and pretty thrifty on gas. I only got rid of it when I upgraded to a bigger unit for my larger trailer to run ac.

My 3rd Champion is a 3400 inverter I bought last month. I needed more power to run my 13.5k btu ac unit, and this runs it great. It has wireless remote electric start, and was on sale on walmarts website for $799. A comparable Honda is over 3 times the price. It starts easily with the recoil, the start button or the remote. It is well designed with the wheels and folding handle. It has a 30 amp rv plug. It starts my ac in econo mode without any trouble and only runs at half throttle running the ac. The only thing I would change is a bigger gas tank for longer run time, but it does go for 4-5 hours per tank running the ac.

I have become quite the Champion fan over the years, I have been satisfied with the 3 gens I have owned, like their design, and appreciate that their reliability is on par with the red and blue gens for a lot less money!
