Description
Zoom on the Champion 201067
In short, the Champion 201067 is a powerful portable inverter generator adequately designed for:
- Food van owners who know that just a short power outage could lose them hundreds of dollars
- Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
- Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.
Power & Run Time
The Champion 201067's engine, 420 cc OHV 4-stroke, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120/240V. It provides a running wattage of 7,250W and reaches a peak wattage of 9,000W.
Featuring a noise rating of 72 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a dishwasher), the inverter generator is equipped with both a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included) for starting.
The 201067's fuel tank holds 4.3 gallons, ensuring uninterrupted operation for up to 10.5 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption approximately 0.41 GPH).
Thanks to its low <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the 201067 produces a clean sine wave output, making it safe for your sensitive electronics when utilizing the AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 6 AC outlets:
Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle allowing you to easily charge your batteries. Thanks to the included dual port USB adapter, you can conveniently use the DC receptacle to 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, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the 201067 is designed to be transfer switch ready, allowing easy connection to your breaker box for powering your home during a blackout.
Portability
With a size of L26.6 x W25.5 x H24.6 in, the Champion 201067 features an open frame design, providing stability and simplified maintenance access to components, enhancing air circulation. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
Despite its weight of 152.2 lbs, the generator is still considered 'portable,' meaning it is movable, although its heftiness may restrict portability in certain environments or require additional considerations for transportation and setup. Nevertheless, it can still be moved quite conveniently with the help of its set of wheels (⌀8") and its folding handle, once it is placed on the ground.
Features
For easy status and activity monitoring of the 201067, its control panel integrates a digital Intelligauge data center, offering insights into the voltage, power output, frequency and lifetime run hours.
With its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator provides quick and convenient gas level checks.
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.
Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the Champion 201067 also comes with some accessories: dual port USB adapter, funnel and oil are included. 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).
- Considering its weight, the Champion 201067 registers at a modest 152.2 pounds, placing it among the lighter generators in the 6500 to 7500 rated wattage selection. Weight-conscious users may find the Sportsman GEN85KIDF appealing, as it is one of the top contenders in this power range, weighing just 133 pounds.
- Given its rated noise level of 72 dBA, this inverter generator aligns with the average expected noise rating for devices of similar power. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the Powerhorse 7500i, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 55 dBA.
- Concerning its runtime, the 201067 provides up to 10.5 hours at a 25% load, indicating that it falls on the lower side compared to other generators of its power range. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the DuroMax XP7500DX, as it provides up to 18 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. The inverter generator utilizes approximately 0.41 GPH of gasoline at a 25% load, placing it within the typical range of fuel consumption seen in products of comparable wattage. To prioritize fuel savings, we advise considering the DuroMax XP7500DX, which stands out for its gasoline efficiency, consuming just 0.29 gallons per hour.
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.
