Our take on the Champion Tri Fuel 6500 W Gas/NG/LP Portable Generator

The Champion Tri Fuel 6500W is a portable generator that runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas, so you can switch fuels when one runs out or hook it to a home gas line for extended outages. It delivers 6500 running watts and 8125 peak watts on gasoline, with electric start, CO Shield carbon monoxide auto shutoff and GFCI outlets. It weighs 206 lb, so it is a wheeled, garage- or shed-kept unit rather than a carry-along. The best new price is $999 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, with 5 stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Champion 6500W tri-fuel generator worth it?
At $999 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, it is a strong value for a tri-fuel unit with electric start and CO shutdown. You pay for flexibility rather than light weight.
How many watts can it run?
6500 running watts and 8125 peak watts on gasoline. Propane and natural gas output is lower, so check the derated figures before sizing a transfer switch or large appliance load.
How long does it run on propane?
About 6.5 hours on propane at half load. A 20 lb tank empties faster under heavy load, so keep a spare or use natural gas for long outages.
Does it come with a natural gas hose?
Yes, a 25 ft natural gas hose kit is included. You still need a properly sized gas supply and a quick-disconnect or plumbed connection.
Can it power a house through a transfer switch?
Yes, via the 120/240V L14-30R outlet and a transfer switch sized for its output. It will not carry a whole house with central AC and electric heat, so plan which circuits matter.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on generators tend to dip outside storm season and during fall and winter sales. The current best new price is $999 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026.
