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

[frank]

Thanks , Vince- no matter how cheap, if it doesn't handle the job, it's
useless. Now I've  got my answer.

Frank,

 

The one I got for unknown reason didn't like when I plugged the IOTA
transformer.  I could run other loads but I could not use it for charging
the batteries at the field.  Please don't ask me why.  HD has an excellent
service.  I explained the situation and they refunded my credit card.  Good
luck,

Vicente "Vince" Bortone

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.

It was also very noisy compared with the Honda.  The db published was close
to the Honda but the Honda was a lot quieter.  I know the premium cost of
the Honda is a lot more but you get what you paid....

Cheap but 60.75 pounds
The Honda is 29 pounds.

I got a gen set at home depot in the same price range.  It didn't want to
run the IOTA and I returned.  Looks like this one is different but not sure.
I returned and got the Honda.  The Honda is the best way to go.

I am EXTREMELY interested in the answer to this question. I am very much in
the market for a generator but have not been able to force myself to pull
the trigger on the Honda Generator yet. I know it is the "accepted" standard
to run RC power sources and chargers but I am open to other less costly
alternatives.
