Champion 9300 watt, love it, used it after Sally last summer for 5 days non-stop except to change oil. Easy to use and very reliable.

I tried to buy one at Cabelas but the manager wouldn’t sell it to me for the online price…. It had good reviews.

Just picked up the Firmin 9400/7500. Beast.

Got a 5000/4000 watt one yesterday. I’m running a window unit, fridge and a big fan along with charging electronics and a lamp. It’s been running great so far.

11500/9200 champion. Run for 22 days straight, only turned off to fuel and change oil. No issues, I did put a blower fan on the genset to keep it cool in this heat. Also had a canopy over it to keep sun and weather off.

I ordered the Champion 9200W just before the storm hit. I ordered it because it was “In-Stock” but it got delayed. I put in another order for a Westinghouse 9500W, so we’ll see which one ships first.
Reviews all seem pretty similar. I am intrigued by the Westinghouse having the remote start option.

i bought the 5500 inverter generator with the remote start a few months ago. its quiet and no issues so far. i've used it maybe a dozen times for an hour here and there, but let a friend without electricity borrow it last night and said it ran great all night. i would recommend

I’m in Metairie running a 4375/3500 champion dual fuel…have two refrigerators, a window unit, and several fans. No complaints so far, but I will have plenty more gas cans next time

Been running 2500 inverter for almost 3 straight days with 0 issue. Money well spent, may buy a bigger one

I’ve got a 4000 watt. Works great

Champion 11500/9200 owner. First season with it and have only used it during the 5hr break in period. It ran the entire house including the AC and was at 50% output. Bought it from Electric Generators Direct.

Lots of people run Champions. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

2000W gas inverter purchased about 3yrs ago. Runs our fridge, window unit, air mover and able to keep phones charged. Holds about 1gal of gas, with all that load on it takes about 11hrs to empty the tank. Super quiet, not as expensive as the Honda’s out there but it does the job. Paid $379 for it in 2019 from a Tractor Supply; I think they are a little more now. Can be used in parallel with a second generator and a kit from Champion but those may be hard to get right now.

3500/4000 runs like a champ. No issues ever. 11 years old and has not been shut off in 36 + hours

Bought two champions before Isaac. One sat in tractor shed for 9 years after. Changed oil and fired immediately. Brother ran for 2 days no issue. 6500/5000

I just turned mine off this morning when we got power back. Ran with zero issues. I bought it last hurricane which was nothing, and left it in box. Pulled it out this one, filled with gas and 2nd pull fired up. Ran since Monday nonstop power everything we needed it to. Window AC’a, freezer, fridge, tv’s, WiFi, Xbox. If I bought another generator it would be a champion.
