Champion 6250-Watt Open Frame Inverter Generator - Power Your Home & Outdoor Activities with Ease!

David: Didn't find much competition at this many watts for an inverter generator that will do 240 volts output. Fuel efficiency rating is good. I did several oil changes in the first 5 hours and broke it in slowly. Happy with the quality. Wish there was an easier and faster way to drain the tank.

I have a Westinghouse 2200 watt inverter for night use. Much quieter.

R. J. Knuth: This was a great buy when I bought it on sale with only 2 minor and one medium complaints, First minor complaint is that you have to use a funnrl with a tube to put oil in this leaving you with a sticky tube that is difficult to clean. The second minor complaint is that there is no oil filter. Lastly, the item I would like to se fixed is that ther is no master power switch. I've never owned a generator without one so that was a bit of a shock after it was drlivered and I could find the master switch

Beaides the above it worked like a champ when our power was out for 2 days. I ran my well, fridge,microwave, coffee maker, computer, TV, stereo and some lights off it for about 15 hours each day uning less than a full tank each day.

John K.: With a heavy heart, I decided to replace my beloved Honda EU3000iS genset. It's performed flawlessly for 8+ years. Started every time, ran like a swiss watch, maintenance was minimal. Not to mention it was incredibly quiet. But here's the thing - it's a 120V generator. When we recently lost power for 20+ hours, it became apparent that we needed a reliable water supply - and our well pump requires 240V. The Champion 5000/6250 looked good on paper, and Amazon offered the best deal. It arrived about a week after ordering.

Unit was well packaged, with no damage. Being no stranger to new engine break-in, I followed Champion's instructions - then went above and beyond. 11 hours (and 3 oil changes) later, I was satisfied the engine was up to snuff. It was louder than my Honda, for sure. That was no surprise. But it was noticably quieter than the other two open-frame gensets I had owned before (about the same capacity). The combination of eco-throttle and auto load governing seemed to work quite well for both noise and fuel consumption. At loads below 30% or so the noise was tolerable - if not "quiet". I'll update more on this later, as well as electrical performance, once I get...

Richard U.: I’m very happy with this purchase. I do want to point out that you should examine your needs carefully before going this route. I bought this specific generator because I wanted one capable of a direct connection to my existing house electrical system through the 240V outlet on the generator plus the clean power advantages of an inverter. Also, I wanted it to be quiet, or at least quieter than the conventional generator we had. This Champion replaces an older, noisy, non-inverter generator that I no longer trust with the increasing amount of electronics in the house, including a new furnace. There are not many 240V affordable inverter generators like the Champion 6250. The only other inverter generator this big that I am aware of is the Honda EU7000iS; but it lists for over $5000 dollars and is way out of my price range. Bottom line; there is no such thing as a quiet, high power, low distortion, low cost generator, so you need to weigh your tradeoffs carefully.

In particular, it is possible to buy two small inverter generators for roughly the same money and use a parallel kit to combine them into one source of power of about the same wattage. Those enclosed smaller units...
