In the sections ahead, the power characteristics, availability of various outlets, the portability, and any additional features of the device shall be discussed.

Power & Run Time

The Champion 100519

The Champion 100519 houses a 301 cc Champion 4-stroke engine, which provides 120/240V, consumes gasoline and delivers a running wattage of 5,000W along with a peak wattage of 6,250W.

With a noise rating of 69 dBA (less noisy than a normal conversation), the inverter generator's starting mechanism is centered around a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism.

Thanks to its 4.2 gallons fuel tank, the 100519 can run continuously for up to 13.5 hours on a full tank (with an average fuel consumption of approximately 0.31 GPH).

Thanks to its low <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the 100519 produces a clean sine wave output, making it safe for your sensitive electronics when utilizing the AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 5 AC outlets:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI

120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle

Moreover, it comes equipped with 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease. Since a dual port USB adapter is also included with the unit, you will be able to use the DC receptacle to conveniently charge electronics such as mobile phones and tablets.

Since it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the 100519 is tailored to be transfer switch ready, making it easy to connect it to your breaker box for home power support during outages.

Portability

With its L26.6 x W25.6 x H23.7 in dimensions, the open frame structure of the Champion 100519 provides stability, simplified maintenance access to components, and better air cooling than enclosed units. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.

Even though this device may be technically portable (as in movable), manipulation and transportation without special equipment can be a challenge, as it weighs 121 pounds. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its set of wheels (⌀8") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.

Features

The 100519's control panel

Included in the control panel of the 100519 are an Intelligauge meter, showing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours metrics, essential for monitoring its status and activity.

In addition to this info, the device’s light indicators will display if its oil levels are insufficient, the generator is ready and the generator is overloaded.

From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during operation.

Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the Champion 100519 also comes with some accessories: dual port USB adapter and funnel are included.

The Champion 100519 versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Champion 100519 compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 4500 and 5500 W).

• Concerning weight, the Champion 100519 weighs only just 121 pounds, distinguishing itself as one of the lighter inverter generators amidst the 4500 to 5500 rated wattage range. If weight is a key factor for your needs, the Pulsar PGX60BiSRCO is noteworthy for being one of the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 93.5 pounds.
• In comparison to generators with a similar running wattage, this inverter generator's lowest emitted noise of 69 dBA can be considered noisy. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the Honda EU7000iS, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 52 dBA.
• Regarding its autonomy, the autonomy of the 100519, reaching up to 13.5 hours at a 25% load, can be considered as low end, compared to other inverters of a roughly equal output. If extended autonomy is what matters most to you, the Champion 201532 could be an excellent choice, offering one of the longest run times among units in its power category, reaching up to 18 hours.
• Run time is crucial, but it heavily relies on the fuel tank's capacity. Thus, considering fuel efficiency alongside is essential. Among generators of similar output, this inverter generator ranks somewhat poorly in fuel efficiency, with an estimated consumption of 0.31 GPH at a 25% load. If you are concerned with gasoline efficiency, having a fuel consumption of just 0.19 GPH, the DuroMax XP7000iHT is a device you could look out for.
