Actually, I do need a genny. While I don't have ac (which I consider unnecessary because we camp in the Michigan woods most of the time or in moderate northern climates), I need a genny to top off my batteries because I sleep on a CPAP machine every night. Consequently, the CPAP machine pulls the batteries down. My machine isn't capable of direct plug into 12 volt power so I have a 1500 watt PSW inverter that runs the machine, a necessary evil that requires a genny to charge the house batteries back up.
My regimen usually is, run the genny in ECO mode for a couple hours during the evening around dinner time and shut it off and... I bought the Champ because it fits nicely in the shower pan in the bathroom, out of sight and mind. My old / sold Yamaha 2800I would never fit in that space. Typically, one tank of gas lasts a week.
So yes, I do (need a genny) but nothing large. The cheapo Champ fits my needs quite nicely and I like the pismuckle yellow case it's in too. So far (3 years now) been as reliable as my wife is.:B
