Champion 3500-watt Remote Electric Start and RV Outlet Portable Generator

If you want a hassle free generator, buy this one. It's easy to move around and your 30amp camper plug will plug right into it. The remote start is great. I can sit in my chair in front of my camper with the generator behind it and it fires right up. Some people have stated that they have a problem screwing the oil check plug back in. all you have to do is remove the battery strap and slide the battery to the right. I have done alot of research and nothing compares to the 3500 Champion. I love it.

When I received the generator via UPS I immediatley opened the box and put all the attachments on it, wheels, handle etc.When I went to start the generator it would turn over but would not start. After attempting my own quick fixes, spark, fuel etc it still would not start. I contacted customer service for Champion. They asked me to unhook the low oil sensor. Once I unhooked the connection it started up but ran very rough. Tried plugging the sensor back in as instructed and it would quit running immediately. Contacted customer service again. Told me to leave it disconnected due to the amount of work it would involve to repair. It is considered a benefit so it wasnt covered under warranty. Since I knew I'd be checking the oil regulary it was something I could live with. Next day I try to start it using the remote start feature, it just turned over and would not start. I tried using the electric swith to start it and again just turned over would not start. I used the pull start feature and after about 10 pulls it started. Put out a lot of black smoke and had a strong odor of gasoline. I let it sit for an hour and tried it again, exact same result. I believe It had a bad fuel system or something. Champion customer service was outstanding in dealing with the issue. Overstock customer service was even better. They had no issue with me sending the generator back even though it weighs 134 lbs. I really like the generator and the quality of it. After reading all the reviews I could find on the generator I firmly believe it was a fluke that I received a defective one.

Seems to be a very decent product for a great price. Shipped quickly, and arrived even quicker than expected. Customer service was exceptional. Only wish the oil port was in a more accessible location...it was a bit tuff getting the cap to thread back on. Other than that, it will be nice to have the key fob while sitting in my long johns in the warmth of my trailer during hunting season.

I had my doubts with it being made in China but was impressed. It powers my RV with the exception that you can't run the AC and micro-wave oven at the same time but not a problem. Wish that it would have came with the cover. Can't beat the price anywhere. Satisvied !!!!
