Summary
The Champion Power Equipment 201067 is a gasoline generator rated for 7250 running watts with 9000 starting watts. That combination is built to handle steady electrical loads while also giving extra overhead for equipment that needs a higher surge to get moving.
Because it is an inverter generator, it is also aimed at delivering cleaner output while still offering substantial wattage, making it a fit for users who want strong power without giving up power quality.
Power & Runtime
Running on gasoline, the 201067 pairs 7250 running watts with 9000 starting watts, which matters in real use because it can sustain ongoing demand while also covering the brief startup spike from motors and other surge-hungry loads. Its inverter design is backed by a stated total harmonic distortion of under 3 percent, a concrete indicator of cleaner power that is better aligned with sensitive electronics.
Noise is listed at 72 dBA, giving a clear expectation for how loud it will be while operating. For runtime, it is rated at 10.5 hours at 25 percent load, tying endurance directly to a lighter draw. A 4.3 gallon fuel tank supports that runtime figure by reducing how often refueling interrupts operation.
Portability
With a listed weight of 152.2 lbs, this generator is a substantial piece of equipment, and that weight is a practical consideration for how it will be moved and set in place. Its physical footprint is 26.6 x 25.5 x 24.6 inches, which helps clarify the space it will occupy in storage and where it can be set during use.
Features
Starting flexibility is a highlight here, with both recoil and electric starting systems, letting you choose between a manual pull start and a push-button approach. A built-in fuel gauge supports day-to-day usability by making it easier to keep track of fuel status at a glance rather than guessing when it is time to refuel.
On the safety and readiness side, it includes a spark arrestor, covered outlets, and GFCI outlets, combining protection for the receptacles with ground-fault protection where it matters. Automatic voltage regulation is also included, reinforcing steadier output management alongside the inverter design. Compliance is listed as CARB and EPA, and the generator is backed by a 3-year warranty.
Recommended Audiences
- Owners of sensitive electronics seeking clean inverter power
- Shoppers who prefer gasoline-powered generators
- Homeowners needing whole-house or jobsite backup power
- Users who value push-button or remote start convenience

These are estimates using typical wattage assumptions. Real appliances vary. Startup surges can be 2–6× the running wattage for motor-driven loads. 240V loads require a 120/240V generator and proper connection. Use a transfer switch or interlock kit; never backfeed a panel.
