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.)

I figured this would become a Honda/Yamaha vs Champion thread. Sigh
as that's always the question; how close to the gold standard are the cheap ones
I totally get it; I went through the exact same decision process.
In our 'crew' we have all the players Honda/Yamaha/champion/kipor all in the 2000. We've run them side by side and for extended periods in pretty harsh conditions. (hot and humid as well as terrible cold)
Personally I can't really tell the difference between the Honda/Yamaha. But anyone can tell the difference to the rest (noise / issues / etc).
The question; are those differences worth the uptick in regards to the price. This would totally depend on your usage and willingness to put up with the issues.
Oh; the other difference we've noticed between the champion and the Honda is fuel use. The Honda uses somewhere between 30-50% less. Not a big deal until you are refueling in -20 with a 25mph wind.
