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'
