  • Our take on the Champion 6500-Watt Portable Generator with CO Shield

    The Champion 6500-Watt Portable Generator with CO Shield is a gasoline-powered, electric-start unit for home backup and job sites. It delivers 6500 running watts and 8125 peak watts from an 8.5-gallon tank, with a 12.5-hour runtime at half load. CO Shield shuts the engine down when carbon monoxide builds up, and Volt Guard plus low-oil shutdown protect the unit. It is a large, heavy open-frame generator, so it suits homeowners who want serious backup power rather than campers who need something portable.
