Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sportsman GEN154 2,000 Watt 80cc 4-Stroke Portable Generator
Customer Review: LIMMITED TO USE
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this for camping,when new it powered my a/c,microwave, tv, everything, but within a very short time it would not power the a/c or microwave (700 watts) it is very noisy, i liked the portability-weight-size, but its power capability is just to small,it is to obtrusive (noise wise) for any type of camping,and is better suited to operate at a work site where you only need a small drill or grinder ,it is not enough to operate a worm drive skill saw,i have tested the output and it is only 9amps.@ 115volts. i wished i would have put the cost of this unit towards one of the more expensive sine wave inverter generators to start with. i now have a kipor ig 3000 watt and it is an excellant unit well worth the money, because i can actualy use it with great satisfaction,instead of store it with great dissipointment.Customer Review: Worth what I paid for it - not much
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this thing as an insurance policy to run my refrigerator in the event of an extended power outage. With several hundred dollars worth of food at risk, I figure it could pay for itself one day, maybe. I don't think I will be using it much other than running a hedge trimmer in the back yard, 100 feet away from the house.
I have run it with a small load and without a load. The engine will run steady for about 20 seconds then rev up and down for 20 seconds. It leaks oil. It doesn't start real easy. Everything about it looks cheap, cheap, cheap. I got what I paid for.
It does not inspire a lot of confidence. If you plan on using it a lot, do yourself a favor and buy a quality device. I can't see this thing holding up under continuous use for any length of time.
Customer Review: New Gas Generator
Summary: 3 Stars
look i just got it a week agao,filled it up full of gas and ran it for 30minutes,i assumed all new generators would be quit but i was wrong its not at all,but i was just testing it for my upcoming trip,and today i got a call from home the gas from this generator is all over the floor in our garage,im not sure if its defected of what,i was looking at it real close,and theres a maybe i didnt turn the switch off that controlls the gas,so i filled it back up with gas but i turned off the switch,now i gotta monitor it to be sure that was the problem,i read someones else's review they said that was there problem,if thats it great,so how do i quit this darn thing down,or do i gotta buy a better mufler?or move it far far away from my campCustomer Review: Terrible starting
Summary: 2 Stars
So I was hopeful for this thing, but it has proven very difficult to start. Poor directions. After about 50 pulls the first time it finally started. Then it ran just fine, lasted a good 5-6 hours running a tv and dvd player. However, once it ran out of gas it took about 20-30 pulls again to start. I thought it might be just that it was empty and needed to be primed, but there's no primer. So after it ran for another 2 hours I turned it off to try and restart it. Same problem, 20-30 pulls later it started again. My shoulder was terribly sore after the weekend and since I was ice fishing in 0 degree weather, it was awefully inconvenient.Customer Review: Works great for A while!
Summary: 1 Stars
This generator worked really well for the first few uses. It is now less than six months old and now starts like a mule. You fiddle with the carb to keep it from leaking. Be sure to turn of the fuel supply, if you don't gas will be everywhere.
The power this generator provides is usable for electronics, lot of RFI.
Luckly somebody stole this one, and I re-purchased the "H" machine and man what a difference.
Please note that Amazon service was absolutely great and still continue to do business with them!!
