Champion Generators
Champion built its position on dual-fuel and open-frame portables at aggressive prices, and it now covers everything from 2,000W inverters to home standby. Their CO Shield shutoff is standard across most of the current lineup. Runtime numbers are usually quoted at 25% load rather than 50%, which inflates them relative to competitors — check the note under each figure.

Not sure which of these is big enough?
List what you need running at once and the tool works out your real peak — total running load plus the single largest startup surge, which is a much smaller number than adding every surge together.
