Description
Zoom on the Champion 201110
The Champion 201110 replaced the 100110. It's a powerful portable generator especially useful for:
- Homeowners who wish to power almost all appliances in their house under any circumstances
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
- Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.
Power & Run Time
The Champion 201110 houses a 459 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, which provides 120/240V, consumes gasoline and delivers a running wattage of 9,200W along with a peak wattage of 11,500W.
At a noise rating of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a dishwasher), this generator provides the choice between a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism or a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included) for starting.
Featuring a 7.7 gallons fuel tank, the 201110 guarantees continuous power for around 10 hours at 50% load on a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.77 GPH).
Since the 201110 has a high THD (<20%), it is advisable to not use it for the powering of sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel features the following 6 AC outlets:
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 201110 is engineered to be transfer switch ready, enabling simple hookup to your breaker box to provide backup power for your home during blackouts.
Portability
Measuring L29.1 x W26.1 x H26.1 in, the classic open frame construction of the Champion 201110 provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
As the generator's weight is 205 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). Still, once it is on the ground, its wheel kit (⌀9.5") and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
Included in the control panel of the 201110 are an Intelligauge meter showing you voltage, frequency and lifetime hours, essential for monitoring its status and activity.
Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.
Considering security aspects, the generator boasts an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), offering peace of mind throughout operation. Champion's built-in surge protector (Volt Guard™) safeguards your equipment and appliances against voltage spikes.
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.
In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the Champion 201110 also includes several accessories: oil and funnel.

The Champion 201110 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Champion 201110 compare to generators of similar power (between 8500 and 9500 W).
- Regarding its weight, the Champion 201110 only weighs in at 205 pounds, which means it's one of the lighter generators in the 8500-9500 rated wattage range. If weight is your top priority, one of the champions in this power category is the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc, weighing just 187.4 pounds.
- As this generator has its lowest possible noise of 74 dBA, it should be considered noisier compared to its peers of a comparable running wattage. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the DuroMax XP11000iH, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 61 dBA.
- At 50% load, the 201110 boasts a higher run time than most similarly powerful products, reaching around 10 hours. If concerned with autonomy, one of the products of a comparable power output, which offers the highest run time, is the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc, boasting with around 12 hours.
- While run time matters, it's heavily influenced by the fuel tank's capacity. Hence, it's important to consider fuel efficiency alongside. Among generators of similar power, this generator stands out with a better fuel efficiency than most, with consumption rates around 0.77 GPH (gallon per hour) at 50% load. To prioritize fuel savings, we advise considering the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc, which stands out for its gasoline efficiency, consuming just 0.66 gallons per hour.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 8500-9500W generators, the Champion 201110 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.
