anyone use one and how do you like it??

I use one at my s&b and I like it a lot - other than the tanks icing up when it's really cold outside. Oil stays clean a lot longer using propane.

One caution I didn't mention before - it is a bit loud.

Just bought one. I started it up on propane but haven't really used it yet. Seems nice enough.

I have a 10k at house. It is set up to run the Main Kitchen, chest freezer, master bath, master bedroom. Plenty of left over power it's just that that's all I put on the aux panel. On gasoline, you have to choke it to start it, but on propane no choke required. Big deal if you want to remote the start.

It has performed well on several power outages up here in the North Georgia mountains. Longest run was 11 hrs. a few months ago. I use synthetic oil and it really stays clean as there is no filter on the engine. I run it once a month and put a full load on it. Keeps the battery charged and everything in working order.

I have the large one from Costco. Works great.

Love mine. Runs great and it's quiet.

Have mine for 2 years now. Works perfect and does the job.

Quiet, efficient, and I use it at home too.

My champion 4000 runs everything in my camper for around 12 hrs on 4 gallons of gas. I use the water heater and icebox on propane. It has the camper receptacle already so no adapters needed.

My Champion "Remote" start runs on three fuels, Gasoline, Propane and natural gas. In all cases the remote start activates the choke, other wise it defeats the purpose of the remote start. The inverter generator is not very loud. Works great and is no louder then our 2 honda 2000's hooked together, which I gave the Hondas to my son after buying the Champion. Being able to run on propane or gas is a great option, also I'm a early riser. I like to take the dog and go for hikes, with the Hondas if I was not there my wife could not start them, the champion, well if you can change the channel on your TV with a remote you can start the Champion. I have 160 hours on my Champion problem free.
