Tools and Hardware Reviews of Champion Power Equipment 46534 4,000 Watt 4-Cycle Gas Powered RV Ready Portable Generator With Wheel Kit (CARB Compliant)Customer Review: It's works great for me! Summary: 5 Stars
I setup the generator (model# 46534) as instructed by the "Quick Starup Guide". Wasn't sure if there was any oil in the engine so I removed the oil drain plug and captured some oil into a drain pan. After putting the drain plug back in and adding the correct amount of oil (the manual says 0.63/qt which is 20.16 oz's) I filled up the gas tank...set the choke...turned on the on/off power switch and pulled twice and it started right up. I let it warm up for about 5 minutes and then plugged in a shop light and had instant light. To me it's not that noisy (maybe my hearing isn't as good as others) but if it were parked oustide for a night in your neighborhood some neighbors might not appreciate the noise. Still...it's not bad in my opinion.
The generator was packaged nicely and no damage in shipping occured. It was easy to setup and dosen't take too long to add the wheels, handle, spark arrestor, oil and gas. It's well built and runs very smoothly.
What I like:
1. It's on wheels and is easy to move around with the supplied handle.
2. It has a gas gauge on top which is easy to read.
3. Compact and nice looking.
4. Low oil sensor to shut engine off so no damage occurs.
5. Voltage meter to check output readings.
6. Will have power now in the event of a power outage.
7. Runs very smoothly.
What I don't like:
1. (not a product issue) Adding gas is not hard but pay attention if you pour from a larger gas can as it can be difficult to accurately hit the fill opening. A nice funnel will help with that. I use a 5 gallon gas can with a curved pour spout but it still will pour too quickly if your not careful and spill some gas. Just be careful when filling.
2. The angled dipstick leaves a little to be desired while you check the oil level. It's not impossible to get it right...it just takes extra time to keep checking it to make sure the oil level is where it should be. Maybe a different color of dipstick would help with this?
This is a decent generator and I would buy it again for my needs. I will update my review later once I have had more time using it but from first impressions and little use so far I like it and would recommend it to others looking to buy a good generator that won't brake the bank!
Best Regards!
