    Champion 100199 8.5kw generator

    First impression was that generator is very well packed...No damage in transit. Generator appears to be well made. Electrical and fuel hook-ups were straight forward. Any DIY with half a brain can do it. Upon start-up unit was a bit louder than I would have liked, but not intolerable. I researched this unit extensively before buying and was lead to believe it was made in America. It apparently was not. Inside the case I found a tiny sticker that indicated, you guessed it, Made in China. As I've stated, it's a nice unit, but still very disappointed. Will it hold up...We'll see.

    Works as it should. Fairly easy to install.

    As a price-conscious home standby generator, this was a big win for my home. It arrived well packed. The installation instructions were fairly well laid out. Connections were easy to access. The unit started right up on the first attempt. It runs its weekly test cycle exactly as it should. Voltage and duty cycle settings are precise and stable. I would recommend this unit. However, make sure you hire an electrician to wire it up. There are many ways to connect this wrong if you don't have expertise on how to do so.
