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 in use

The Champion 201067

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:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI
120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle
120/240V 50A (14-50R) receptacle

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

The 201067's control panel

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. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Sportsman GEN85KIDF, standing at just 133 lbs.
  • The inverter generator's noise output, rated at 72 dBA, falls within the average range expected for devices in its power range. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may want to take a look at the Powerhorse 7500i. It's one of the quietest options among generators of similar power, rated at 55 dBA.
  • In terms of autonomy, the 201067 offers up to 10.5 hours at a 25% load, placing it at the lower range within its power range. If runtime is a priority for you, the DuroMax XP8500EH stands out as one of the generators with the longest run time in its power range, providing up to 25 hours of continuous use.
  • While the run time is an important parameter, it is dependent on the fuel tank's capacity and thus, doesn't say much on its own unless we consider fuel consumption as well. At a 25% load, the inverter generator consumes an estimated 0.41 gallons of gasoline per hour, falling within the average consumption range of units with similar output. If you're placing a high priority on fuel consumption, the DuroMax XP7500DX, with a low fuel consumption rate of 0.29 GPH, could be an option to consider.
