GREAT GENERATOR
I ordered this generator 5 days before the storm hit and received it over night ($3.99 on Prime). I put it together easily and ran it for 6 days non-stop except for two oils changes (after 5 hours and 100 hours per the manufacturers recommendation). This generator never faltered and could handle whatever loads we threw at it (obviously we never exceeded the 4000 watt max). We ran 2 full size refrigerators and 1 large freezer, the coffee pot and two lamps at the same time during the day and over night we ran a 1500 watt space heater in the kids room, humidifier and both refrigerators without a hiccup (disconnected the freezer overnight). I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a mid-size generator to get them through a black out. Purchased this Champion 4000 watt electric start generator arrived in about 3 days free shipping and no sales tax. Took it with us on a camping trip a few days later, worked like a champ. The remote on and off is wonderful. With our old generator, we would have to go out and turn it off (usually at night) after watching a movie) or just let it run till it ran out of gas. We got pretty good at estimating how much gas a 2 hour movie would take! With the New Champion's wireless remote start, even 50 feet away, sitting in the back of the truck, all I had to do was press the button and it went off or on! All from inside the travel trailer! Didn't even have to get out of bed. This one replaced our tired little 1000 watt Coleman. I really didn't notice it being any louder. It seems to have a good muffler and enough power to run everything in the T/T, microwave, TV, coffee maker, and the furnace all the things you need when out in the wild, "roughing" it! With the highs at 50 degrees, didn't try the A/C. All this while charging up the boat batteries for the next day's fishing. I guess you can say I'm pretty pleased!!!
The Champion 46539 generator with remote is awesome. Finally somebody has designed an intelligent home owner type generator. You must get the remote starter to also get the RCM, the little brain that sets the choke, has a time delay for loads at start up, and an advanced load shut off when shutting off. The hefty battery that came with it is recharged when running, and the remote uses a RF signal that has very good range and is not line of sight. It easily works from in the house. The sound level is relatively quiet, and the engine runs smooth and seems to be reaonably fuel efficient.I dare say look out Honda and other competitors, the day of quality assembly work from China seems to be here. This tool is new to me and time will be the ultimate judge of quality. Did I mention the built in Hour / Hertz / Voltage meter?
