Description
Zoom on the Champion 201119
The Champion 201119 replaced the 200969. It's a compact portable generator mostly geared towards:
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level

- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
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
The Champion 201119
The Champion 201119's core is the 224 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, which runs on gasoline. With an output of 120V, it provides a running wattage of 3,650W and a peak wattage of 4,550W.
Operating at a noise rating of 68 dBA (less noisy than an office), this generator starts up with a simple traditional pull-start mechanism.
Thanks to its 4.7 gallons fuel tank, the 201119 can run continuously for around 14 hours at 50% load on a full tank (with an average fuel consumption of approximately 0.34 GPH).
As the 201119 exhibits a THD of less than 20%, which is high, it is best avoided for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 4 AC outlets:
Thanks to its TT-30R receptacle (TT meaning 'Travel Trailer'), this Champion generator is RV Ready, ready to power your recreational vehicle with ease.
Portability
Measuring L23.2 x W18.3 x H20 in, the Champion 201119 showcases a classic open frame layout, guaranteeing stability and simple maintenance access to components, while facilitating air circulation. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.
Despite its 103 lbs, the generator falls under the category of 'portable,' signifying its movability, although its weight may hinder easy portability.
Features
The 201119's control panel
To help you monitor the 201119's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with an Intelligauge meter, offering voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours readings.
Featuring a built-in fuel gauge, the generator offers quick, convenient, and easy gas level checks at a glance.
As for its security measures, the device features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), letting you use it with a peace of mind. 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.
While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the Champion 201119, the following accessories are also included: oil and funnel.

The Champion 201119 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Champion 201119 compare to generators of similar power (between 3500 and 4500 W).
- As its weight is 103 pounds, the Champion 201119 falls in the expected weight range of the devices in the 3500-4500 rated wattage category. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Genmax GM4600iAEFIC, standing at just 58.4 lbs.
- When compared to other units producing a similar running wattage, this generator and its lowest emitted noise of 68 dBA stand out for being on the louder side. If noise emissions are important to you, one of the least noisy generators of this power range is the Westinghouse iGen5000DF with only 52 dBA.
- At 50% load, the 201119 boasts a higher run time than most similarly powerful products, reaching around 14 hours. If run time is one of your main concerns, the Predator 4375 could be worth looking at. It boasts one of the highest run times among units of comparable power, lasting around 16 hours.
- Autonomy holds its importance, however, it is largely dependent on the generator’s fuel capacity and so, it is nonsensible to discuss it without mentioning fuel efficiency as well. This generator has a better fuel efficiency than other units in the aforementioned output range, consuming approximately 0.34 GPH (gallon per hour) at 50% load. If you wish to get a unit of similar power, but with one of the best fuel efficiency, you could consider the Westinghouse iGen5000DF, which has an impressively low fuel consumption of 0.23 GPH.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 3500-4500W generators, the Champion 201119 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.
