Amazon has the Champion 200914 4250-Watt Open Frame Inverter Generator Dual Fuel Generator down to $568.00 currently. I've had this in my shopping list for some time and the price seems to hover in the $700 - $800 range, and sometimes even higher. CCC shows this is the lowest price it's been.


https://www.amazon.com/Champion-P...08L9RQRNW/ -Expired, now $997.71

Note that this is a dual fuel version (since it may get lost in the long headline)



Also, Walmart appears to have this on sale as well (or maybe a variant of it) priced at $582.59:

Yes that is what 21 hours of run time is based off of (20lb tank). I have the dual fuel 2500 watt one and have had no issues using the 20lb tank even when it gets low. However as the other poster mentioned I have heard that it's recommended to use a 30lb or larger tank and that's probably more important with something that's demanding more at once and the outside temp as well. I think it has something to do with the the gas changing forms more rapidly and the 20lb'ers can basically freeze up on you and cut off the flow, but the 30lbs, 40 lbs and larger can handle the exchange better.

Walmart appears to have price matched now; if you've got a Discover card you can check out with PayPal and get the 5% cash back (or 10% if you're in the first year).

Is that 21 hours of run time on a 20lb propane tank?

No. It would be a lot less. Also I've only dealt with this once, but the 20lb tank "loses pressure" and the engine will shut off. You probably only have about half the tank of usage. I'd say you probably need to buy those large 200, or even bigger house propane tanks.

Maybe someone with more experience can chime in, but that was my observation.

No. It only runs on propane. It would need natural gas jetting to operate on NG.

This is an open frame inverter so dont expect it to be as quiet as closed frame but definitely less noisy than the typical old-style generator. Its a good deal but I would go for the closed-frame champion deals currently on SD.
