“Excellent winch for the money.”

Greg S.
10/13/23

Purchased my second champion winch after installing one on my brothers ATV. Winch kit #132502 came with all the items needed for a complete install. I chose to use a unit specific mount which was purchased separately. Very impressed that the rocker switch for the handlebars was included unlike a lot of others. Everything in the kit seems good quality/well made. Used it the first day out pulling a stump out of my way on our logging road. Excellent! Highly recommended addition to any ATV. 1997 Honda Fourtrax

“Do not buy”

Brian H.
8/19/23

I purchased a Champion 6250 watt model 100519 a little over 3 years ago I have used it about three times and now it's nothing more than a big boat anchor unless I purchase a new $210.00 control unit. I believe any other company with a GOOD reputation would have replaced it knowing it's only a few months out of the 3 year warranty. But they do not stand behind there product so I'm thinking they are not very proud of what they manufacture and sell

Verified purchase

I bought a 5500w Champion inverter generator that died after few hours of running.
I've spent weeks calling Champion to get a return authorization from corporate. I would never buy or recommend buying Champion product unless you're willing to go through hell returning their worthless crap. I never dealt with such horrible customer service.
BE AWARE.

Tip for consumers:
You better be mechanically inclined to deal with Champion reps. They will have you pull spark plugs out , bleed gas from carburetor, drain or add oil, pull air filter out and bunch of other useless trouble shooting exercises while they have you on the phone.

Worked right out of the box. Great for home electric heaters, lamps, fridge, CPAP machines, cooking griddles, etc. Highly recommended. Easy to operate and switch between fuels required. One pull start. Portable and easy to move or take with you.

Tip for consumers:
Get this if you experience outages.

Bought the 27 ton splitter from one of the home stores, packaged well, nuts and bolts labeled, came in a crate. Took 2 of us a couple of hours to assemble. Went together easy, came with both oils, basically they make it stupid free. Split some logs, worked like a dream. Excellent product!

Tip for consumers:
Read the directions and you will have no problems

*******250 Open Frame Inverter. Arrived from Amazon in perfect condition. Set up took a couple of minutes. Started on third pull. Have used several time so far with excellent results. Quiet operation and great performance. Have run numerous appliances with no problems. Great value in a portable generator.

Perfect Generator, I purchased this generator after hearing friends rave over it. Being lost more cash dual fuel when running on propane lasts much longer than one tank of Gasoline. I can easily rely on this to keep things going when I'm away for work during a power outage. I should have done this long ago, however, I never really had the initial funding. After several power outages losing everything in the freezers has cost way more than the generator. Please take my advice "Don't leave on your wish list" the cost will be appreciated in the long run.

Had to put it together but once finished, an incredible machine. No more racking for me. A very heavy duty machine that works as advertised. Easy to use and blew my yard clean of leaves. I would recommend purchase of this model for anyone.

Picked up a Champion 2500/1850 inverter/generator this year. Packaging was very well done. Setting up a breeze and started on the first pull. Runs super quiet and works perfectly for my needs. Ready to RV anywhere now.

I am on my 3rd pressure washer. I reviewed the champion products. They sound great. Assembly was easy. Started on first pull. Love the design. Larger wheels help to move it across uneven ground. Nice slim lines

No power after hurricane Sally. Was able to find a Champion generator that turned out to be easy to start. Even my wife can do it and runs great. Kept freezer/refridgerator fans and lights going 24/7 while using very little fuel. Thanks Champion!

I have been looking for a home generator for over a year. I read reviews and checked prices on every brand you can think. I compared prices & sizes until I came across the Champion brand in a Camping World ad. It is a 4550 starting/ with 3650 running watts. It was on sale for $299. I was very excited about it but thought it sounded to good to be true. I ordered it and received three days later. I set all up oil, gas etc. It started right up. I tested it ability to run some of our larger appliances, coffin freezer, refrigerator, microwave (not all at the same time). It handled it like a "Champ" (no pun intended} with no issues.

We just experienced one of the harshest winters in central TX history. The Champion model ******* made it almost too easy! I could not believe how easy it started even when temps dropped below zero! This unit definitely exceeded my expectations! Based on the performance of this unit we just purchased the smaller ******* dual fuel generator to have for camping or loaning to someone in need in the future! And on a side note their customer support is amazing as well!

Just got our 3500/4500 inverter/generator and it is amazing! So quiet and smooth, we are thrilled at the price we paid compared to other brands that cost 2-3 times as much. We dry camp at dirt tracks all over the country and with this unit we will be the quietest campers around. Thank you Champion for great quality and fare prices!

We have been waiting to get a generator unit for several years to run our well and keep freezers running in case of a storm. I heard good things about the Champion line so we finally pulled the trigger on a 5kw with duel fuel (*******). Seemed like a good value for the money at Tractor Supply Inc. We are past due for a hurricane in South Georgia but praying it don't happen.

Winch is a replacement on my atv snow plow lift. Winch fit exactly as described. Was a bit nervous if the winch would fit but was happily surprised when winch slipped right into place. Two hours later winch was bolted up, wired up and ready to go to work. I am 72 year old retiree and very pleased with the champion shopping experience. Priced right, works well and easy to install. Doesn't get any better than that. Thank you very much

Weare thrilled by the new chipper/ shredder it is great for home yard and I will take it anywhere and use it on open property also. Not sure if anyone's thought of using it to chip fruit woods I have in the yard, to use I my smoker, this will be perfect in the 3" chipper chute. Thanks very much for building these machines to this level of excellence! Recommend it to anyone. Scott T. In Idaho.

I purchased the Tri - Fuel 8000 generator for the simple fact that I love the idea of using natural gas! I live in the Northeast of Ohio & it seems like the storms (winter or summer) are getting more intense. We may not get a ton of storms, but they're worse. After assembling my generator (maybe 10 minutes), I put gasoline into the tank, used the electric start & it started up pretty quick. Btw, the electric start is another great feature & the noise level isn't bad at all. I added a Transfer Switch & ran a natural gas line from my basement to the outdoors to where I plan on setting my Champion. I haven't had to opportunity to use it, other than testing everything out. Truth be told, I am so impressed with my purchase! I will be more than happy to write a new review after an emergency use, I'm sure it'll do great! Thank you.

Bought this generator as a back up for my home and to use for my travel trailer during camping season. Set up was easy, it started on the third pull. This unit is quiet, more so than I thought it would be. Runs great. This weights 90 plus pounds, something to consider if loading into the back of your pickup (alone). Very satisfied with this generator so far.

We purchased this product on June 17, at Canadian Tire and brought it home, easily put it together and started trimming. Works great easy to use, much better then our other gas trimmer. Very light to handle as well. Would definitely recommend this product.

Tip for consumers:
The item was in an area where there were no others, under a different price.

The machine I previously used (a friends) offered minimal issues. For the amount I will use, I believe this to be a very worthwhile purchase. Purchased on sale through Canadian Tire, assembled easily by myself. Now ownership has been established I am satisfied with the purchase, about 50% of competitors cost.
