I have a 4000w Champion generator that is over 10 years old, I used it the other day during a power outage and it started on the 2nd pull after sitting since fall. Ran my furnace, fridge, some lights and tv for 5 hours without missing a beat.
I also have a Champion 2000w inverter that is going on 5 years strong.
My experience with Champion has been so positive, I just cant see spending 2 or 3 times the money for a Honda.
Now that I have a tt with an ac unit, I am in need of a larger inverter, and will be purchasing another Champion, the 3400w inverter.
