The Champion Power Equipment 201284 8000-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator with CO Shield is the perfect combination of versatility and convenience. Whether you need power for your home or next project, Champion Power Equipment makes powering your life more convenient than ever. The convenient electric start includes a battery, plus Cold Start Technology ensures a quick start in cold weather. Easily monitor power output and track maintenance intervals with Intelligauge, which allows you to keep track of voltage, hertz and run-time hours. Designed with a low oil shut-off switch, this unit includes 1.3-quarts of 10W-30 oil. Operate your Dual-Fuel generator right out of the box on gasoline or propane, and easily switch fuels with our patented fuel selector switch that allows for safe switching between fuel sources. Using gasoline, the 458cc Champion engine produces 10,000 starting watts and 8000 running watts, and will run for 10 hours at 50% load when the 7.7-gallon fuel tank is full. It produces 9000 starting watts and 7200 running watts, and will run for 5 hours at 50% load when using a 20-pound propane tank. Also included is a 6.5-foot propane hose with a built-in regulator. With a noise level of 74 dBA from 23 feet, which is a bit louder than a vacuum, this machine can provide home backup in an outage, plus the Volt Guard built-in surge protector prevents overloads and keeps your equipment safe from spikes in voltage.. Plenty of outlets are available, with a 120/240V 30A locking outlet (L14-30R), a 120/240V 33A outlet (L14-50R) as well as two 120V 20A GFCI protected household duplex outlets (5-20R). Champion's thoughtful packaging and clear directions make setup hassle free, plus the foldaway U-shaped handle makes it easy to store, while the never-flat tires in the included wheel kit make transport a cinch. Buy this EPA certified generator with confidence - Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back up your purchase with a 3-year limited warranty and FREE lifetime technical support. CO Shield technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Meets the requirements of ANSI/PGMA G300-2018.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q: Not an inverter, so dangerous for electronics?

8 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, all Champion generators will put out the standard THD rating of about 12%-20% depending on the load applied. They will produce a sine wave, not a modified or square wave. This is perfectly acceptable for running common commodities found in your home, such as TVs, computers, and your appliances. If you have a specific item that requires a lower THD, then you will want to look into an inverter-style unit. If you have any other questions, please contact our support team at 877-338-0999, support@cpeauto.com, or use our live chat option located on our website. -Thank you

Q: How long is electric cord

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your question. This unit does not include an electrical extension cord, so the length is up to your preference. We do not recommend any specific brand, so you may purchase an extension cord from the retailer of your choice. Many customers find that cords up to 50 feet work well for their needs.

Q: For periods when the generator is not needed, what is the recommendation for a trickle charger to maintain the battery? I'm not sure I would be able to manually start the generator

Most Helpful Favorable Review

Well made, easy to set up

4 years ago
After a 38-hour power outage and my 29-year old manual crank generator wouldn't start, I started shopping for an electric start generator in the 7000-8000W class. I found this one, which was probably a little larger than I really needed, but I'll be running it on LPG so that drops the rating down to 8kW anyway. We're at 2500' above sea level so the rating is further reduced to 8370W peak, 6696W running. It was delivered today and I had it running in maybe 30 minutes. The hardest part was in getting the box cut away from it. The instructions were clear (the quick start info wasn't much use) and everything went together easily with just one person. It's designed so that you can tilt it on end to install the wheels and feet, then tip it back upright, very well balanced. After adding oil (I pulled the engine through several times manually) and connecting the battery, I wheeled it outside, hooked it temporarily up to a 30 lb. LPG tank, set the choke and it started after a few tries. I think this was probably because it was new. After it ran for a few minutes, I shut it down, let it set a few minutes, and it started right up. I haven't put a load on it yet but the digital display is great to show Hz, AC voltage, time run, and probably Amps pulled. This seems to be a quality, well-made product. I tend to be a little wary of most of the stuff out of China but this is a U.S. engineered product and it looks like Champion has done their job and stayed on top of quality control. I couldn't find any flaws in workmanship and I'm very happy with it. With a transfer panel installed, my wife and I can easily get it switched online in just a few minutes, a big deal as we get older.

Most Helpful Critical Review

NOT 50 amp Capable. Warning for RVers.

4 years ago
I was very disappointed that this was not a 50 amp capable generator. All pics and specs mention the 50 amp plug and the spec sheet says total amperage of 83 amps. However the 50 amp RV only has a 33 amp breaker. This spec is totally missing on the website, pics and specs. If you have an RV or Camper that requires 50 amps, do not purchase this generator. After a deep dive into finding the truth, an online question on the TCS website was directly asked about the 50 amp capability... the respondent replied that this is not a 50 amp generator. This is a deceitful advertising practice and I am very disappointed in Tractor Supply.

Trusted generator after several years of ownership

24 days ago
I’ve owned the Champion 201035 generator for a few years now and have been very happy with it. I’ve only needed to use it three times, for about four hours each time, and it has performed flawlessly every time. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and has been dependable when I’ve needed it most. I can’t speak to long-term heavy use, but based on my experience, it’s been a reliable generator and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this generator today due to power outage. I have a sub pump and my father is on oxygen so I needed to continue to have power. This generator worked like a champ! Plenty of power. The versatility of either using gas or propane was wonderful. The safety of the co detection system put my mind at ease. The stability of the frame this generator sits on is top notch. The 10 hour runtime is a great feature to know i won't have to running out every hour to check the fuel level.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Definitely like the duel fuel option

I purchased this a week ago when the winds got really strong and took the power out for three days. From out of the box hooked up and started right away and went to work. Power everything in My needs with no issue. Definitely would recommend for a back up power supply. Will also use this generator for My camper to Boondock.
