The Champion 201296 is a dual-fuel portable generator rated at 4375 running watts on gasoline, with electric start and a 120V-only panel of three outlets. It runs on gasoline or propane, so you can switch fuels during an outage without a second machine. It suits homeowners who want backup power for a fridge, furnace blower, lights and a few small appliances, and who want push-button starting instead of a pull cord. Against inverter rivals it is louder and heavier, and its 120V-only output rules out 240V well pumps and some dryers, but it costs less than comparably powered inverter units and runs on either fuel.

Owners of Champion's dual-fuel portables generally report reliable starting and steady power for basic home backup, and they value the propane option during long outages. The common complaints are weight and noise, and some note that sensitive electronics are better served by an inverter model.
