Product Summary

The Champion Power Equipment 201285 1200-Watt Multi-Purpose Portable Generator with CO Shield® is designed with your safety and convenience in mind, and is the perfect “what if” generator. At 1500 starting watts and 1200 running watts, this rugged generator with its durable steel frame is easy to transport and provides just what you need for RV use, camping, tailgating, boating, hunting, weekend trips, family vacations and small jobs around the house. The next time there’s an outage, the 79cc Champion single-cylinder OHV engine will provide the power you need for a few essential items in an emergency - lights, microwave, fan, TV, modem/router, cell phone charger, etc. (Note: this unit is not recommended for emergency home backup for powering air conditioners, stoves, furnaces or sump pumps.) Power up with Champion’s reliable recoil start, plus Cold Start Technology ensures a quick start in cold weather. Champion also makes it easy to monitor voltage, frequency and operating hours with Intelligauge. This unit includes a 120V 20A covered household duplex outlet (5-20R). Designed for safety with convenient push-to-reset circuit breakers, a low oil shut-off switch plus an included oil funnel for easy changes, this unit has a 0.4-quart oil capacity (recommended 10W-30). The reliable 79cc single-cylinder OHV Champion engine produces 1500 starting watts and 1200 running watts, and will run for up to 10 hours at 50% load when the 1.46-gallon tank of gasoline is full. With a noise level of 65 dBA from 23ft., which is a little bit louder than normal speech, this machine can handle a few basic essentials in an outage. Buy this EPA certified generator with confidence – Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back up your purchase with a 3-year limited warranty and FREE lifetime technical support. CO Shield® technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield® detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine.
