Portable 2000-watt Generator

The Sportsman 2000-watt portable generator is a nice compact size that can more than meet the temporary power needs of a homeowner or recreational outdoors person. The use of this generator at our home will be to maintain the operation of the oil furnace blower motor for winter heating, in addition to some basic lighting and minimal refrigeration of food items via a temporary tie in connection at an auxiliary power transfer panel. We also play to use generator for outdoor parties where lengthy power line are anticipated for use. Like any generator to be used for temporary power needs, this generator should be run one a month to make sure that it is ready and available for emergency power use events. Also, the power tie in for this generator into an emergency transfer panel is accomplished simply via a standard heavy duty grounded electrical extension cord. Additionally, from a safety standpoint, this generator should be operated a safe distance from the loaction where power is supplied to the emergency transfer panel to prevent accidental build-up carbon-monoxide fumes. In conclusion, the Sportsman 2000-watt portable generator is an adequate sized device that can satisfy many basic homeowner's needs in a power outage situation

Excellent for using our electric tree trimmer and chain saw when plants are too far away from household outlets. Light weight enough for me to transer to and from small trailer. Very easy setup and starts with one pull. Not too loud. We're very pleased with this product.

This is a good little generator.. It arrived in only a few days.. Corner of box was shuffed but generator was fine.. Was a slightly older model than posted but this is okay as the gas tank was bigger.. 1.8 gallons with a run time at half load of 11 hours instead of 9 hours.. Only confusion was the grounding rod but I ordered one from amazon with grounding wire and clamp and all was fine.. 1500 running watts seems true.. Might buy one for our place in Michigan for power outs .there has a water pump that runs at 8 amps with a surge of 16 amps.. With this little generator it should work as it has runnnig amps 12.5 with a surge of 16.67 amps.. swaping out the fridge and airconditioner with the water pump when needed should work.. also have a shop force 1000 amp 2 stroke generator there 900 running amps 7.5 amps add this generator for a total of 20 amps more than enough for powering the house fridge and 2 air conditioners if needed in Michigan
