Power & Run Time

The Champion 201407

Champion 201407 runs on gasoline, powered by a 459 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, delivering 120/240V, boasting a running wattage of 9,000W alongside a starting wattage of 11,000W. The impressive running wattage makes this unit one of the biggest inverter generators currently on the market.

Enjoying a noise rating of 64 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office), this inverter generator can be started thanks to a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism, but also to an intuitive and practical electric starter (battery included). Furthermore, for added convenience, the 201407 offers remote starting capabilities (key fob included).

The 201407's fuel tank, boasting 6.08 gallons, allows it to operate for up to 15 hours with a full tank (with an estimated fuel consumption of 0.41 GPH).

Delicate electronics can be plugged in the AC outlets safely, as the 201407 generates a clean sine wave, reaching a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).

Outlets

The control panel features the upcoming 6 AC outlets:

Furthermore, it has 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle providing easy battery charging capabilities.

With its 14-50R outlet, this Champion unit is RV-ready for owners with a 50-amp service in their RVs. In addition, as it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the 201407 is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.

Portability

As an inverter generator, the Champion 201407 showcases a closed design (L28.3 x W28.8 x H27.5 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring quieter operation compared to conventional, open frame models. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.

Even at 200 lbs, the generator is categorized as 'portable,' suggesting its movability, although its weight impede its portability. However, the lack of maneuverability can be offset with its set of wheels (⌀9") and its folding handle, which allows for convenient shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.

Features

The 201407's control panel

The control panel of the 201407 includes a digital Intelligauge data center, which assists you in monitoring its status and activity, as it provides information on the lifetime run hours, frequency, voltage and power output.

In addition to this info, the device’s light indicator will display if the oil level is too low.

Featuring a built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator offers quick, convenient, and easy gas level checks at a glance.

From a security standpoint, the product offers an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.

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.

Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the Champion 201407 ships with supplementary accessories: oil, funnel, key fob and tool kit.
