Champion Power Equipment 92001i 2200 Watt Petrol Portable

 

Was going to buy a much more expensive honda but bought this instead. Really happy with it. Very quiet for a generator (none of them are silent), very light weight and much cheaper than the honda.

 

Was looking for a genny, a suitcase style, found one then it went up from 249 to 289 by seller. A seller taking advantage! Saw alternative avaialble but 300 more. So hummed and searched some more, Mrs suggested a duel fuel, which was a surprise because she had previously said No. So settling on this brand, after a limited review on YouTubeI took the plunge and bought it for on average 250 to 300 more.

Why! I’ve no gas bottle anymore, but have a 60k motorhome sitting next to the house with a 25l, 75p a litre cost doing nothing. So ordered a quick connectors, a gas tap to isolate.
I’ve successfully tapped into my motorhome gas and can power some appliancew in the house upto around 1600watts. We’ll that’s not enough to boil a kettle! but it recharges my allpowers 2000w genies and they power the kettle, an induction hob, toaster fryer, TV, 500w heater fan and many other things.

I can even run a washing machine. So whilst I can power the house daily with solar and recharge my solar genies, I can now recharge them when needed at lpg gas prices, when solar is limited. This is an expensive buy, but it’s not for one use or for this winter, it has endless portable possibilities, even more for campers and vanlifers. No worries about low van batteries, just set it up and recharge.

Possitives
My first genny, not that loud for me.

Easily adapted to van borne lpg, no need for additional bottles

Simple to apply oil

Simple to refuel with unleaded l, has a light over fuel funnel

Solution for various uses and power cuts

Negatives
For

heavy, I wouldn’t wish to carry more than 100m

Pull start, for this money, electric start would be my dream

Running time LPG or petrol, it doesn’t bother me, at the rates of British gas these days anything is cheaper. 75p litre of gas, can’t be beaten.

Noise levels, I get on with my neighbours, but I may tell them I’m running one for 3 to 4hrs every so often.

Tips from me:
Empty and fill oil when it’s elevated it’s easier to drain and better to fill. Have some kitchen towel available and plenty of 10w 30 oil, also any old plastic container to drain the oil into.

I’d recommend a trolley, a simple scrap board and edging and cheap wheels. It helps move it on flat and for moving around garage for storage. Don’t buy a cover. Use any cheap tarp, edge it and that’s enough.

If you’re going to connect to a motorhome, use a gas tap, a few quid and this will not only cut the device when running, but save gas. I’ve mine 5 inches from the gas regulator.

At this time, I recommend.

 

The 2200w Champion generator is a 21kg class act in my opinion. It also comes with its own oil. Just add oil and petrol, read easy start instructions and away you go. Started 2nd pull, then every 1st time. Connected1500w coffee maker, no probs. Very quiet on eco, still no probs on high watts. No reason to believe it’s not economical, so overall very happy.
