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: 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: @000 Watt Gasoline Generator
Summary: 2 Stars
I have found numerous bolts loose all over the generator. On the gas cap there was a large printed piece of tape saying to use 10-30 oil. If someone didn't know where to put gas and oil they could dump the oil in the gas tank. Then there is the instruction booklet which says to use SA or SE oil leaving out the 10-30 weight which is confusing. I now have to check under the engine as I have an oil leak. It could be a loose bolt. I hope so.Customer Review: Works great for A while!

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!!
Customer Review: Unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the 1500 watt generator at Fleet Farm for around $200. It was a struggle to get it started the from the day I purchased it. Out of the 6 times I have tried to use it I was able to start it 3 times. Many pulls, replacing the spark plug, checking the gap, etc. Never know if it is going to work and of course the frustrating part is you typically have plans when you use the generator and it can ruin your whole evening as you sit in the dark wishing you bought a better generator.
I would not recommend this generator.
