Why buyers choose the CPG6500E2
- Three ways to start. Wireless remote fob, push-button electric start, or the recoil cord as a back-up.
- Head-room for motors. 5,000 running watts and 6,250 starting watts helps with pumps, compressors and fridges.
- One panel, both voltages. One 240V 32A outlet and two 110V 32A outlets.
- Long running. The 25-litre tank gives up to 10 hours at 50% load.
- Protected as standard. AVR, overload protection, Volt Guard surge protection and a low-oil shut-off sensor.
- Never-flat wheels. A wheel kit and U-shaped handle are included.
Is it right for you?
Ideal for: trades and workshops, home backup for essentials, and events or catering pitches with modest loads, where the remote saves a walk.
Look elsewhere if: noise matters, because at 74 dB(A) this is one of the louder machines in its class. Our silent and canopied generators are quieter. For more power from the same brand, see the Champion CPG9000E2. For electronics, choose from our inverter generators.
What will it run?
Plan around the 5kW running output. The 5.5kW maximum and 6,250W starting figures are for short bursts, such as a motor starting.
| Appliance | Typical running watts |
|---|---|
| Fridge freezer (higher start-up draw) | 150 to 300W |
| Central heating pump and boiler electrics | 100 to 200W |
| LED lighting for a whole house | 100 to 300W |
| Microwave (800W cooking power) | around 1,200W |
| Kettle | 2,500 to 3,000W |
| Circular saw (higher start-up draw) | 1,200 to 1,800W |
| Electric shower | 7,500W and up: too much for this generator |
Example: fridge freezer 200W + boiler electrics 150W + lights 200W + TV 100W + kettle 3,000W comes to about 3,650W, which leaves around 1,350W in hand. Check the rating plates on your own appliances, as figures vary.
Using it for home backup
Never plug a generator into a house socket. To power household circuits, have a qualified electrician fit a manual changeover switch so that the generator and the mains can never be connected together. The fob starts the engine, but it isn't an automatic standby system.
Where to site it: a remote is only useful if the generator stays where it's safe. Keep it outdoors and well away from doors, windows and vents, and test the fob's range from where you plan to stand.
Getting it running
- Fit the wheel kit and handle first.
- Add 1.1 litres of the correct engine oil and check the level before the first start. The sensor shuts the engine off if the level drops.
- Connect the battery if it is supplied disconnected, and test the fob next to the generator.
- It weighs 91.5kg before fuel, so use two people or a ramp for any lifting.
- The outlets are 32A industrial-style sockets. Use matching plugs, a 32A to 16A converter for most 110V tools, or a suitable splitter box for 13A appliances.

FAQs
How far does the remote reach? Champion doesn't publish a range, so test it from where you plan to stand. Never move the generator closer to a building to make it reach.
How much can I draw on 110V? Champion says that dual-voltage generators give roughly 50 to 60% of rated output per 110V socket. Tell us which tools you plan to run and we'll check it.
What does the warranty cover? Three years for domestic use: parts and labour in year 1, parts only in years 2 and 3, or until 1,000 hours if that comes first. Ask us before ordering if it's for commercial use.
Is it good for events? Yes, for lighting and modest loads, but at 74 dB(A) place it well away from the audience.
Not sure it's the right size? Send us your appliance list at sales@generator-uk.co.uk or call 01744 520110, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, and we'll help you size it.
Safety: run outdoors only, well away from doors and windows. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Let the engine cool before refuelling.
