Generac iQ3800 Dual Fuel Inverter Generator vs Champion 4500-Watt Dual-Fuel Inverter

Both are dual-fuel inverter generators with CO shutoff and clean power under 3% THD, so either can run a fridge, a portable AC or sensitive electronics. The Generac iQ3800 is the more polished unit: push-button start with auto-choke, a battery included, an LED display for output and gas use, and a quieter fully enclosed case. The Champion 4500 makes more power on gas and propane and runs longer on a smaller tank, and it adds a TT-30R outlet for RV hookups. Owners of the Generac praise quiet running and easy first-time starts; Champion's inverter line is widely regarded as solid value with strong RV support. Pick the Generac for quiet, easy starting at camp or a jobsite; pick the Champion for more watts and an RV outlet.

• Choose the Generac iQ3800 if you want the easiest start, the quietest run and a display that shows your load and fuel use.
• Choose the Champion 4500 if you need more running watts, a TT-30R RV outlet and longer runtime between fills.
