What it's made for: a home backup plan that doesn't depend on the gas station.
Two generators that are also open frames, of about the same size, closest to it on our rating, each with a dated price.
That's the running figure the listing states, on gasoline; on propane it drops to 5,000. Write down what you'd run on a stormy night and add the biggest motor's surge: the fridge, the freezer and the sump pump fit inside that figure on paper, a 240 V well pump plus central air don't.
What it has going for it
Gasoline or propane. Propane keeps for years in a sealed tank and won't gum up the carburetor between storms; gasoline gives you more watts. The listing puts propane at 5,000 running watts.
CO sensor. A sensor that watches the carbon monoxide around the unit, per the listing. Treat it as a backup: the generator still belongs outside, about 20 ft from doors and windows.
Extension cords: the cheapest start. The fridge, the freezer and a lamp plug into the 120 V outlets; the furnace, the well pump and the water heater stay dark.
A transfer switch: the listing doesn't name a 30 or 50 amp twist-lock outlet, so look at the panel on the unit itself before you plan an inlet box around it.
The seller states, word for word, in the Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel listing:
Operate your 6875/5500-watt portable generator right out of the box on either gasoline or propane, plus the unit holds 1.2-quarts of oil (included) and has a low oil shut-off switch.
Keep track of voltage, frequency and run-time hours to easily monitor output and track maintenance intervals, plus features CO Shield carbon monoxide auto shutoff system.
The seller's claims, quoted as written; we haven't measured any of it. The noise on your driveway and the surge of your well pump are things you only find out at home.
What the Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel listing names:
Warranty & support: A 3-year warranty, as stated in the listing.
That is the maker's promise, not ours. Keep the order confirmation, and register the Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel if the maker asks you to.
Read the manual for the fuel, the oil grade and what each outlet is rated for before the first start.
At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each 1,000 running watts works out at about $163.45 (price ÷ stated running watts, our arithmetic). That puts it around the middle of the 18 generators of 4,000 to 8,000 running watts we have a price and a stated running figure for.
Count the hookup in the budget too: a heavy cord, an inlet box and a transfer switch or interlock, wired by an electrician, are a separate bill.

Want it quieter, or cleaner power for electronics? The Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter (7.3/10) is an inverter, per its listing.
Want to hook it to the gas line? The Champion 8,125W Tri Fuel (7.6/10) runs on gasoline, propane and natural gas.
Rather not pull a cord on a January morning? The Westinghouse 7,500W EFI Dual Fuel (7.6/10) has remote and electric start.
Our take
We like the Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel for 5,500 running and 6,875 peak watts and the choice of gasoline or propane. No buyer reviews yet, so this Champion generator has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Champion: no electric start in the listing, while most picks here have one. We'd pick it if you'd rather store propane tanks than cans of gas; otherwise, put it next to the AIVOLT 7,500W Dual Fuel first.
Fill it with oil before the first start, then run it for a few minutes outside with a small load.
Pull the cord, let it warm up, then add loads one at a time, the biggest motor first. Propane or gas: decide before the storm and have the hose and the tank ready.
Run it every month or so for 20 minutes. On propane you avoid stale gas in the carburetor; on gas, add stabiliser or run it dry before storage. Our maintenance schedule has the full list.
First oil change after the break-in hours in the manual (the hour meter counts them), then on schedule. Air filter and spark plug once a season, and a cover for the months it sits.
Before you order the Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel, check the propane rating: it is rated 5,000 running watts on propane against 5,500 on gas, so size your list for the fuel you will actually use.
5,500 running watts and 6,875 at start-up, per the listing. Write down what has to run at the same time, add the biggest motor surge (well pump, sump pump, AC), and let our sizing calculator do the sums.
Plan on heavy-duty extension cords to the appliances, or ask an electrician which inlet and switch would match its outlets. Our interlock vs transfer switch guide compares the two routes.
Outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away (the CO sensor is a backup, not a permission). Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details.
A 20 lb tank lasts far less than a day at half load on most big units; two or three full tanks make a realistic plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storing them safely.
How the Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel stacks up against the closest alternative, the AIVOLT 7,500W Dual Fuel.
| Criterion | Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel | AIVOLT 7,500W Dual Fuel |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 7.2/10 | 7.2/10 |
| Running watts | 5,500 W | 6,300 W |
| Peak watts | 6,875 W | 7,500 W |
| 50 amp outlet | Not stated | Stated |
| Warranty | 3 years | 2 years |
Both score 7.2/10. The AIVOLT 7,500W Dual Fuel adds more running watts (6,300 W) and a higher peak (7,500 W), while the Champion 6,875W Dual Fuel brings a longer stated warranty (3 years).
We rate it 7.2/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
The listing or manual states 5,500 W running and 6,875 W peak, usually for gasoline. Size your load list against the running watts and keep the peak for motor starts; propane and natural gas ratings are lower. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements (our sizing calculator turns your loads into a running and peak pair).
The listing names gasoline and propane. Output differs by fuel, so check the per-fuel running watts in the manual and whether the hoses you need come in the box. Run it outdoors only, away from doors, windows and vents.
Its listing states 5,500 running watts (6,875 at start-up), the choice of gasoline or propane, a built-in CO sensor and a 3-year warranty. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how loud it is in your driveway and how it handles your well pump's surge can't be read from a listing.
