In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.

Power & Run Time

The Champion 201407

Running on gasoline, the Champion 201407 operates with a 459 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, delivering 120/240V, with a running wattage of 9,000W and a peak wattage of 11,000W.

Enjoying a noise rating of 64 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office), this inverter generator offers the versatility of starting with either a conventional pull-start mechanism or a convenient and efficient electric starter (battery included). Moreover, the 201407 boasts remote starting functionality, adding another layer of convenience (key fob included).

Equipped with a 6.08 gallons fuel tank, the 201407 ensures continuous operation for up to 15 hours with a full tank (fuel usage approximately 0.41 gallons per hour).

The 201407 generates a clean sine wave with <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), ensuring minimal electrical noise and fluctuations. This feature makes it ideal for powering sensitive electronics, providing stable and reliable AC power through the outlets.

Outlets

The control panel provides the upcoming 6 AC outlets:

Moreover, it boasts 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle enabling simple battery charging for added ease.

If you own an RV with a 50-amp service, you can consider this Champion unit as RV-ready, as it features a 14-50R outlet. In addition, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the 201407 is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.

Portability

With an inverter generator design, the Champion 201407 features a closed construction (L28.3 x W28.8 x H27.5 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.

Though weighing 200 lbs, the generator remains classified as 'portable,' indicating its capability to be moved, though its weight could pose transport challenges. Nonetheless, the limited maneuverability is compensated for by utilizing its set of wheels (⌀9") and its folding handle, which facilitates shifting once the generator is set on the ground.

Features

The 201407's control panel

The 201407's control panel is equipped with a digital Intelligauge data center, furnishing detailed information on the power output, lifetime run hours, frequency and voltage for you to easily track its activity and status.

In addition to this info, a light indicator shows you if the oil level is too low.

The fuel level of the inverter generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.

Security-wise, this product benefits from an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.

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.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the Champion 201407's package also includes these accessories: oil, tool kit, key fob and funnel.
