[NSRCA-discussion] Home Depot "Sportsman 1100 four stroke Portable Generator-Model # Gen 1100

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

I got the Kipor 2000. It has been flawless for the 2 seasons I have had it. It goes for about $700 shipped. The Kipor 1000 is $475 shipped on ebay. It is the same as the Honda, same size, weight, sound, but less cost. #1 selling brand in Europe they claim. 

Spend the extra $175 over the home depot noise maker. You, and the other pilots will be glad you did. It's well worth it.

The noise doesn’t affect my situation as much as others.  I ‘m familiar with Honda quality – currently own two Honda vehicles and a Honda mower. LOL. Got 255K miles on my first ( 92) Accord and could have gone another 100K. No doubt their 1000 is the cream of the crop- but it’s a bit pricy, IMO. At last glance, the Home Depot generator  weighed very near what the Honda weighs-unless I read the stats for the wrong model. As long as it handles the job, I’m satisfied .Keep the oil clean and keep it from over-heating and it should last. The HD warranty for one year is a good way out if it is a bomb. They said that they would repair it for free or  issue a refund . Now, someone out there must have one to give us a report.
