Description
The powerful and versatile Champion 201122 gives off 120V thanks to its dual-fuel technology. Even though it runs on gasoline, it has a running wattage of 1,850W and a peak wattage of 2,500W. It is powered by propane and has a rated output of 1665 watts and a starting output of 2500 watts. Also, since it can work in parallel (ParaLink is not included), this power can be doubled by connecting it to another unit that works with it. The noise level of the inverter generator is 53 dBA, which is just a little louder than a conversation at home. It has a simple pull-start mechanism. The EZ Start Dial on Champion makes it easy to start the engine and get to all the controls you need. With a full tank of gas, the 201122, which has a fuel capacity of 1.1 gallons, can run for up to 11.5 hours (fuel consumption is approximately 0.1 GPH). It can run for up to 34 hours on propane (on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 0.14 GPH). The 201122 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 two 120V 20A duplex outlets (5-20R).
It also has 2 DC outlets: two 5V USB ports (USB-A) that make it easy to charge devices like cell phones or tablets.Features
The feature light indicator will let you know when the oil level is too low.
In terms of safety, the generator can be used without worry because it has an automatic shut-off for low oil and an overload protection (circuit breaker).The unit also has CO ShieldTM technology, which keeps an eye on the amount of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas that builds up in the generator when the engine is running.CO ShieldTM automatically turns off the engine and lights up a red LED if it finds high levels of CO gas.It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times.The Champion 201122 comes with basic instructions and an owner’s manual to help you start the generator quickly.It also comes with oil, a propane hose, and a funnel, among other things.Mobility
Since the Champion 201122 is an inverter generator, its enclosed design (L17.3 x W11.5 x H17.7 in) looks better than a traditional open frame product.
The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power.The 201122 is a portable lightweight generator because it only weighs 39 lbs.Since one person can move it without much trouble, the generator and its power can be used anywhere.The handle built into the case makes it even easier to carry.Product Videos

- 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.
About the Manufacturer
A US-based producer of power equipment, Champion Power Equipment was established in 2003.
The comparatively tiny business has established a name for itself in the portable generator market as well as the larger power equipment market, with a concentration on heavy duty machinery like log cutters, snow blowers, chipper shredders, etc.Their whole product line is American-engineered.The corporation does not, however, disclose the country of origin of its parts.Warranty Information
There is a warranty on the Champion 201122 for up to 3 years.
This warranty may not cover all parts of the generator or may only cover certain parts.Champion’s warranty policies can tell you more about how long the warranty on a Champion generator lasts.You can also call their customer service line at 1-877-338-0999.
