That's a very good deal. In April I bought 2 of those exact same models on sale from a regional store here called Blaine's Farm and Fleet for $399 each. At the time, it was the best deal in the country.

I bought a Champion generator from Costco and it leaked fuel all over the floor. I could not stop it from leaking, so I returned it and bought a used Honda 2000i for less than the cost of this one. You buy cheap you get cheap.

Sure, bad luck for you I guess. I also have a 3100 Champion inverter that I bought in 2018 that's been fine, but I got tired of storing gas while on the road, and also dealing with the weight. Two of these combined is less than that one. I plan on using propane only.

We were boondocking recently next to a guy who had a Champion generator. Couldn't hear myself think when he had it running.

I'm very pleased with my Champion 3400, with remote start. It's been excellent for years now. It's light years better that the Yamaha it replaced. Alcohol free gas and stabil keep it running smooth with no needed draining.
If I needed a gen, I would seriously look at that sale. Thanks!

Was this an open frame generator or an inverter. I have two 2000 watt inverter units and they are both very quiet. I combine them when I need to run high power stuff but most of the time we run one of them in eco mode. That is enough to charge my TT batteries after running the furnace all night.

To tell you the truth, I didn't notice. All that I noticed was that they were Champion.
