Our take on the Champion 8500W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator, StartLINK

The Champion 201536 is an 8500-watt dual-fuel inverter generator that runs on gasoline or propane, so a grill tank can serve as backup fuel. It starts by wireless remote, the StartLINK app, electric push button or recoil, and it feeds a home through a 120/240V 14-50R outlet. Inverter output gives clean power for electronics, and CO Shield shuts the unit down when carbon monoxide builds up. It is a large, heavy home-backup unit rather than a portable tailgating generator, and its 49-state EPA rating means it is not sold in California.

Questions and answers

Can it run my whole house?
It supplies 6500 running watts on gasoline and 5850 on propane through the 14-50R outlet. That covers essentials like a furnace, fridge, lights and well pump, but not central AC and electric heat at once.
Does it work with a transfer switch?
Yes. The 120/240V 14-50R outlet connects to a home transfer switch, the same hookup used by comparable home-backup generators.
Can I start it from my phone?
Yes. It starts from the StartLINK app over the built-in wireless connection, and also by remote fob, electric push button or recoil.
How long does it run on a tank?
Champion rates it at up to 13 hours on gasoline and 12 hours on propane at quarter load. Expect shorter run times as load increases.
Why can't I buy it in California?
It is a 49-state EPA model, not CARB certified, so it is not sold in California.
Is the power safe for electronics?
Yes. Inverter output produces clean power suitable for phones, laptops and TVs, and the Intelligauge shows output.
