Description
Zoom on the Champion 201067
In summary, the Champion 201067 is a powerful portable inverter generator especially useful for:
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
- RV travellers wishing to enhance their freedom and nomad lifestyle
In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.
Power & Run Time
With a 420 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, the Champion 201067 operates on gasoline, providing 120/240V, with a running wattage of 7,250W and a starting wattage of 9,000W.
At a noise rating of 72 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a vacuum cleaner), this inverter generator provides the choice between a conventional pull-start mechanism or a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included) for starting.
The 201067 boasts a fuel tank capable of holding 4.3 gallons, allowing it to run continuously for up to 10.5 hours (with fuel usage averaging around 0.41 gallons per hour).
As the 201067 produces a clean sine wave, with a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), sensitive electronics may be plugged in the AC outlets safely.
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 6 AC outlets:
Moreover, it comes equipped with 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which charging your batteries is made easy. 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.
For RV owners with a 50-amp service, this Champion unit is RV-ready, boasting a 14-50R outlet. In addition, equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the 201067 is engineered to be transfer switch ready, enabling simple hookup to your breaker box to provide backup power for your home during blackouts.
Portability
At L26.6 x W25.5 x H24.6 in, the Champion 201067 boasts a traditional open frame structure, ensuring stability and allowing for convenient maintenance access to components, promoting air circulation. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
Since the generator weighs 152.2 lbs, it will be incredibly difficult to manually lift it and transport it, even though it is technically considered to 'be portable' (in the sense that it is movable). However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its set of wheels (⌀8") and its folding handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
Features
One of the many 201067's features is the digital Intelligauge data center, included in its control panel, which conveniently provides information on the power output, frequency, voltage and lifetime run hours and thus, helps you monitor its activity and status.
Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.
From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, giving you a peace of mind during use.
The unit also benefits from the CO Shield™ technology, which monitors accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas produced by the engine's exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield™ detects elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine and illuminates a red LED.
Apart from the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the Champion 201067 also is packed along with the following accessories: funnel, dual port USB adapter and oil. The official storage cover and running cover are also available, as separate purchases.

The Champion 201067 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Champion 201067 compare to generators of similar power (between 6500 and 7500 W).
- In terms of its dry weight, the Champion 201067 stands at only 152.2 lbs, meaning that is one of the lighter devices of the 6500-7500 rated wattage category In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Sportsman GEN85KIDF, standing at just 133 lbs.
- At 72 dBA, this inverter generator's noise rating is in line with the expected average for devices within its power category. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the Westinghouse iGen8200TFc, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 60 dBA.
- Regarding its runtime, the 201067 operates for up to 10.5 hours at a 25% load, positioning it at the lower spectrum among comparable products. For those prioritizing autonomy, the DuroMax XP9500iHT could be considered, as it offers one of the longest run times among generators with similar power output, reaching up to 21 hours.
- The run time is important, but also hugely depends on the capacity of the fuel tank and doesn't mean much if we don't talk about fuel consumption as well. Standing at an estimated 0.41 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 25% load, this inverter generator is somewhat average in this area compared to other devices, within the aforementioned wattage range. If you wish to acquire one of the most gasoline efficient products of this power range, the Westinghouse iGen8200TFc, with a fuel consumption of 0.23 GPH could be in your good books.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 6500-7500W inverter generators, the Champion 201067 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget generator.
