champion inverter

was looking at getting a generator to use at the few motorcycle events and nascar races I go to each year, I know Honda is the best but hard to justify that when I have a loud one already and will only use the new one 2 or so times a year. I was looking at the champion model 100263 3400w dual fuel inverter, looks good on paper, anybody have any experience with them?

I don't have the dual fuel model. Mine is the 3100 and works great.

Champion inverter generators are pretty decent for the money. Dunno about the dual fuel versions, but the gas ones do okay. Only caveat is no fuel pump so a extended run tank has to be gravity fed.

sounds good, I looked at the 3500 remote start, I just thought the dual fuel would be a nice option to have just incase. how is the noise levels? thanks for the reply,

They are in the same general range as the Honda and other small inverter generators. Not obnoxiously loud. I have not seen anyone do a side by side comparison, but by the specs they are fairly similar in noise output.
