Description
A 192 cc Champion 4-stroke engine powers the Champion 100233. It has a 120V output, runs on gas, and has a running wattage of 3,100W and a peak wattage of 3,400W. Also, the generator can be connected to a second unit to make more power (ParaLINK is not included). The inverter generator has a noise level of 59 dBA, which is less than a refrigerator. It is started with a simple pull-start mechanism. The 100233 can run for up to 7.5 hours on a full tank (it uses about 0.21 GPH of fuel per hour), thanks to its 1.6 gallon fuel tank. The 100233 makes a clean sine wave. With a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 3%, you can safely plug your sensitive electronics into the AC outlets.
Outlets
On the control panel, there are 3 AC outlets: a duplex 120V 20A (5-20R) outlet and a 120V 30A (TT-30R) outlet.
It also has 1 DC outlet, which is a 12V 8A receptacle that makes it easy to charge your batteries.Since the unit comes with a dual port USB adapter, you can also use the DC receptacle to easily charge devices like cell phones and tablets.This Champion generator is ready for an RV because it has a TT-30R plug (TT stands for “Travel Trailer”).Features
The lights on the device will show if the oil level is too low, if the generator is ready, or if it is overloaded.
As for safety, the device has an automatic shut-off when it runs out of oil, so you can use it without worry.The Champion 100233 comes with the usual paperwork and an owner’s manual , which lets you start using it right away.It also comes with a funnel and a two-port USB adapter.Mobility
The Champion 100233 looks better than a typical open frame generator because it has a closed inverter generator (L22.4 x W17.3 x H18.3 in).
The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power.The 100233’s weight of 80.9 lbs.means that you can take it anywhere.Also, it has two wheels that are 5.5 inches in diameter “Once it’s on the floor, it’s easy to move because of the wheels and the handle that folds up.Product Videos
The following charts show how some of the most important features of the Champion-100233 compare to other generators with the same power output.

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
