Food spoils in refrigerators and freezers. A day or two without power can cost thousands in repairs and irreplaceable lost heirlooms, treasures, and memories. A model 100199 Champion Home Standby 8.5kW Generator can change everything.

I have had this generator for 2 plus years. I lose power quite often in a rural setting. This thing had the rings go out of the original motor after less than a year. Replacement was sent along with the other parts that were oil soaked (2 stars is for the warranty dept.). Second engine, had the starter fail after 3 weeks. Now governor is broke. Avoid this thing at all costs and do yourself a favor, buy a Kohler.

I've had two Champion portable generators for more than 15 years and they still run as good as the day they were new and they each have hundreds of hours on them. I had great service and customer support with those generators so when I decided to install a Home Standby Generator, I went first to Champion. Adam at Champion helped me select the right model. I finished the testing procedures with excellent support from Adam Spero at Champion answering every question and expediting materials as needed. Just as I finished the install it started snowing. 15 hours later the utility failed and I've been on the generator 8 hours with 3 returns to the utility for a few minutes before they failed again and the Champion kicked right on. I'm delighted with the low noise level, quick starts and rock solid voltage and frequency. When I kick on a 1500w microwave or other load there is no flicker or change in the tone of the generator, it just purrs along. Byond the great machine I can't say enough good about the support from Adam from making the choice on which generator I needed to advice on site placement and all other technical support ... Delighted
