Champion 201544 14,000-Watt Wireless Remote Start Dual Fuel Portable Generator with StartLINK and CO Shield

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.1 / 5

A 245 lb dual fuel generator with 11,000 running watts and wireless remote start. Champion says StartLINK can auto start and stop it through a wired link to an energy storage system or automatic transfer switch. Any such hookup is a job for a licensed electrician.
