The Official unofficial CPE 2000i Generator Thread

Look out Honda & Yamaha, now they have REAL competition...
Stackable? How cool.

They'll sell a million of 'em !!...just wish I could have waited for the electric start !!

For me, Champion has passed a three year stress test and has great CS. Finally, we get the 3000w WITH Electric Start and Remote. If the price is right, they just may take over the market? But the Champion 2000i inverter may be real competition in the market, I see no ES and Remote. Does any mfg' offer such a thing in the 2000i units?

I have added ES to my Champion C46540 and wait, perhaps, they may make available the Remote. That would make me a 'happy camper'

I agree, way to go Champion. Maybe this will force the blue and red dealers to get price competitive.

That's ridiculous! Everybody knows that a yellow generator can't be quiet, light, or durable. Or so I'm told...:W

P.S.: Stackable! How cool is that?!

Any idea what they will retail for?

Crap - I just bought a Champion last month! Great genny - I will but the new Champion in August for the RV and keep the old Champion for the house!

Based on Champion's history this should be a reliable generator with good support. If the price comes in low enough, this might be a big nail in the coffin of the conventional generators.

Champion's website listed them as being available in August at Cabelas and Sam's Club in US. In Canada, it will be Costco.
Just awesome! I hope they give the red and blue a run and bring down costs.

I also see they are claiming a 53dBA.
